Lyrics

Rising speech, rising strength, rising love come over me.
Cut my past burden weight, all that's true come back to me.
Oh I've been gone for so long, for so long

As in the reasons from the first one that came
As in the story held from the belly of the lake
As in the sleeper coming back into state
Talking freedom while their hammering their stake

As in the shadows shelter from the sun
As in the patience of a loving one
As in the rhythm of the words that take the tongue
and in the first breath of air in ancient lungs

Rising sleep, rising night, rising emptiness, come over me
Oh I've been gone for so long, for so long

As in the reasons from the first one that came
As in the story held from the belly of the lake
As in the sleeper coming back into state
Talking freedom while their hammering their stake

As in the shadows shelter from the sun
As in the patience of a loving one
As in the rhythm of the words that take the tongue
and in the first breath of air in ancient lungs

Oh I've been gone for so long, for so long
