Eyes to Heaven
Shadows falling farther
Skies are turning red
Days are getting shorter
Hanging by a thread
Making up the ending
A story you’ll never tell
Around the edges bending
Pretending all is well

Eyes to heaven
Ear to the ground
Salvation severing
Flesh no longer bound

Years move on and upward
Leaving us behind
Nothing left to wonder
Nothing to cross your mind
Don't be afraid, my brother
For I'll be right along
In the name of the father
Into the great beyond
Eyes to heaven
Ear to the ground
Salvation severing
Flesh no longer bound
A storm not made to weather
The vessel tossed aside
An ocean given center
Ever immortalized

With an eye to heaven
And one on the horizon

I’ll keep watch for you
Until the sun has set
I’ll keep a fire burning
Until I pay my debt
