An Island in The Darkness — текст песни (Tony Banks)

Like a fuse to the end will burn

Like a wave when the tide has turned

You keep on coming regardless

You wont accept defeat



And in the light of a cold grey dawn

When all seemed lost and you felt so forlorn

You sensed a warmth surround you

And now you find youre

No longer on your own



Its impossible unbelievable news

Its impossible but its true



You never thought you would ever be here

You never even dared to hope you would ever be here

In a world you used to dream of

And watch from afar



After all of the time gone by

Searching fruitlessly asking why

Its hard to stop the trying

To truly realize



That all the pain all thats gone before

Lies behind and you can close the door

In the past forever

No need to worry

No need to fear at all



Its impossible unbelievable news

Its impossible but its true



You never thought you would ever be here

You never even dared to hope you would ever be here

In a world you used to dream of

And watch from afar





In every minute of every hour so many dreams die

Do you believe it will be any different this time

This dream will last forever

This day will never end



Now the fog surrounds you

Swirling all around you

Confusing all your senses

All you see are phantoms

Always just out of reach

They tantalize and beckon

Seduce but without promise

You dont want to be here anymore

You dont want to be here to take it anymore

Now the water rises

It takes you where it will

You cannot choose direction

Or control the motion

And in the end youre thrown up

On an island in the darkness

Nothing is familiar

Tell me are you frightened on your own

Do you have the will to carry on?
