Walk On - Pantommind

Some morning tide will bring a day

When black and white will blend to gray

Your truths will turn a tangled mess

Pretending different will hurt no less

You’ll search, but you will never find

You’ve got to turn to look inside

And once you lift the lid of lies

Reach in and take hold of your mind

Inside your mind there’ll be a thought

Just hold on to it!

Lose it not!

I’ll take you to the Shadow’s Well

It’s deep and black, it leads to hell

Keep climbing down when it’s too hard

Don’t flinch when you are dealt your card

Hang on when you can hang no more

And in the dark you’ll find your heart

It is a flame, it is a torch

A road that starts beyond your porch

It’ll wind and turn and twist and bend

Through bumps and cracks and rocks and sand

But you will walk on

You’ll feed your flame and it will burn

And when your path ends, looking back

You’ll see it’s straight, without a turn

Inside your heart there’ll be a door

The keys that open it are four

One’s love, and lust, and hate, one’s will

All can revive and all can kill

Choose now before it grows too late

And once you’ve entered through the gate

Between the past and what’s to come

You will discover there your fate

It is a flame, it is a torch

A road that starts beyond your porch

It’ll wind and turn and twist and bend

Through bumps and cracks and rocks and sand

But you will walk on

But you will walk on

But you will walk on

What lies beyond there?

I can’t tell

But mark my words, and mark them well

Don’t think, don’t ponder, don’t delay

You cannot hold back, cannot stay

You’ll have to trust me that I know

That tide will rise and you must go

And once you do, don’t ever fear

It’s nothing difficult: you grow

It is a flame, it is a torch

A road that starts beyond your porch

It’ll wind and turn and twist and bend

Through bumps and cracks and rocks and sand

But you will walk on, you will learn

You’ll feed your flame and it will burn

And when your path ends, looking back

You’ll see it’s straight, without a turn

But you will walk on

But you will walk on

But you will walk on
