Quo Vadis (Canada)

Fate's Descent

Quo Vadis (Canada)


My body rests in a dark chamber 
As I am receiving final farewells 
A saddened silence fills the air 
The smell of flowers, the smell of death 

The latch is opened, my skin reflects the light 
A short prayer is recited in my honour 
Some take a step forward, their stares descend 
Looks of deception, looks of despair 

Some are faceless, some are caught in the moment 

Communication at light speed occurs 
faster than words can be expressed 
One-way telepathy provides the living souls 
a sense of presence when left alone 

A mental sketch is tattooed on their minds 
time to say their "adieux" arrives 
My vessel sealed, a cold breeze strikes the world beyond 
I am imprisioned from the world of light 

Some induce tears, hostage to emotion 

Looking from above, I can feel their pain 
... I will guide 
Purity resists, faith will overcome 
... I survive 
They forgive my sins, I can feel the peace 
... Of my life 
Looking through their souls 

Timeless sense of loss, overtaking thee 
... I will guide 
With a mere remorse, they will call to me 
... I survive 
Tell the secrets of an unforgotten past 
... Of my life 
Looking through my soul... 

Voiceless.. but present... 

Some can feel it, some ignore the forces 

As I descend into the depths of goodbyes 

[solo: Seghers] 

The raining earth is bestowed upon my being 
As I watch over and comfort thee 

[solo: Frydrychowicz] 

A last prayer in unison begins 

[solo: Frydrychowicz] 

Forever lasting, words do not die 
Priceless balance 

"You feel I have abandoned you, but it is you who left me behind"
