The wind is swirling in the night
I'm being swallowed by the tide
Despair engulfs me but I fight
My eyes are fixed on the distant light

What is this light, on the horizon?
The light of Heaven?
Or the blazing flames from Hell?
Or the blazing flames from Hell?

Our world is gritty
And grungy
And simmering with uncertainty
And disappointment

My eyes are fixed on the distant light
Never leaving my sight
Is it dawn or is it the fading night?
But it never dims, it never dies

What is light, on the horizon?
The light of Heaven?
Or the blazing flames from Hell?
Or the blazing flames from Hell?

I'm sinking alone in the night
I'm being swallowed by the tide
I need to swim so I won't die
My eyes are fixed on the distant light

i like this Eric, it almost feels like someone asking why they are stuck here; like they want to move off of earth as it is. thats sort of the sci fi theme. it works.
I uploaded some track notes (see in project tracks. this might also help you in what i was imagining when the project first started., the theme and the story if you like.
but this idea is nice IMO. as an extension it could develop the idea that this character questions why we have let it go on for so long and why we haven't questioned things? - almost like Elton Johns Rocket man - the socialogical effects of a technological society - maybe alientation...
