Escape the Clouds - Horizon (Live) Lyrics

We chart our course by the North Star's shine,
Not by some ancient concept divine
Our faith is in what we can grasp with our hands
And the universe spinning above distant lands

Armed with knowledge and curious minds,
We ward off illusions one god at a time
Onwards we sail on an ocean vast,
Sailors of reason on a ship built to last

So set your sails for the wide open sea
Sever the anchors of your old beliefs
Cast off the lines that hold you fast
The horizon comes--raise your glass!

Our heroes were outcasts in the eyes of men
Who thought the planets revolved around them
The liars tried to put the facts to the flame
But no torture can break a truth made plain

Darkness lingers in the temples and shrines
From which zealots attack with verses sublime
The dawn burns bright like an illuminated page
We do battle in the name of an enlightened age

So set your sails for the wide open sea
Sever the anchors of your old beliefs
Cast off the lines that hold you fast
The horizon comes--raise your glass!

The moon pulls the tides upon which we sail
The sun makes the winds at our back prevail
Open your eyes Release your mind
Don't ever deny the wonder inside

So set your sails for the wide open sea
Sever the anchors of your old beliefs
Cast off the lines that hold you fast
The horizon comes--raise your glass!

So set your sails for the wide open sea
Sever the anchors of your old beliefs
Cast off the lines that hold you fast
The horizon comes--raise your glass!

So set your sails for the wide open sea
Sever the anchors of your old beliefs
Cast off the lines that hold you fast
The horizon comes--raise your glass!
