From Ashes - Dream Of Eternity Lyrics

The last shadows
are fading away
On this last day
I feel no pain

I saw the river of life
sparkling like crystal
And the tree of eternity
in its green leaves

No more pain
no suffering
Oh, never anymore
Just an endless joy
in eternal light

Too many years
too many tears
on the way
there is

Too many tears
All too many tears
until I get there
The minutes passing by
I hear people cry
How long
it will take?

One night
I saw a dream
I was walking through a forest
I came to a lake
and in its surface I saw
faces from my past passing by
Dear friends I saw
And I saw my old enemies
All of them had a place in my life
And all of them had their story to tell

A little later I stood beside a throne
watching those people come and go
Some of them were singing
While the others were crying
Some of them went upwards
Some went downwards
Cold waves shivered my spine
As I realized where I was
Some time passed by
And one night again
I dreamed I was walking
through that same forest again
This time the forest was
filled with supernatural light
All was quiet and all was still
And then I came to a lake

In its surface
I saw a new kingdom
I saw my destination
I saw the river of life
sparkling like crystal
I saw the Eternal One

Oh, won't you
Oh, won't you
Oh, won't you take me home

Oh, won't you take me home
Oh, won't you
Oh, won't you take me home
