lyrics

Ascend
Stratosphere
Silent mind
Although my eyes are closed I see for miles
All directions
Transcendental
Total detachment from self

Like the waves crash on the shore beat on the land forever more
I will swan dive from the edge into the void below
On the precipice I stand, over seas of shifting sand
I will swan dive from the edge into the void below
Like the seas relentless tide
Let this moment be your guide
I will swan dive from the edge into the void below
Rid your senses of your fear, then the purpose becomes clear
Reality is just an illusion

I close my eyes and see for miles
Swan dive from the edge
I close my eyes and see for miles
See for miles

Ascend
All is clear
In my mind
Although my eyes are closed I see for miles
In the now
So defined
Feel the wave wash over me

Like the waves crash on the shore beat on the land forever more
I will swan dive from the edge into the void below
On the precipice I stand, over seas of shifting sand
I will swan dive from the edge into the void below
Like the seas relentless tide
Let this moment be your guide
I will swan dive from the edge into the void below
Rid your senses of your fear, then the purpose becomes clear
Reality is just an illusion

I close my eyes and see for miles
Swan dive from the edge
I close my eyes and see for miles
See for miles
