[Chorus]
Take me to the southern shore
Within emptiness unobstructed
My search for something more
Take me to a higher plane
Within emptiness unobstructed
Some things just can't be explained

[Verse 1]
Here we are again
In this simple valley of deception
Where does it go?
Is it swimming against the flow?
Or does no one ever know
Destiny, tranquility, validity of soul?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I will say once more
The world is still a spinning ball of confusion
That no one understands

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Within the cold absolute
The cold, brutal truth
There is a pained angel
[Chorus]
Take me to the southern shore
Within emptiness unobstructed
My search for something more
Take me to a higher plane
Within emptiness unobstructed
Some things just can't be explained

[Verse 2]
So, the river ends
In this calamity we call heaven...
Is this perfection?
Are we spinning into the gray again?
And transforming to the insane?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I will say once more
The world is still a spinning ball of confusion
That no one understands

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Within the cold absolute
The cold, brutal truth
There is a pained angel
He will shelter you from harm
And sing to you
Throughout your darkest hours
[Chorus]
Take me to the southern shore
Within emptiness unobstructed
My search for something more
Take me to a higher plane
Within emptiness unobstructed
Some things just can't be explained

[Solo: Loomis]

[Chorus]
Take me to the southern shore
Within emptiness unobstructed
My search for something more
Take me to a higher plane
Within emptiness unobstructed
Some things just can't be explained

[Outro]
What grows upon this rock?
In its urgent sense of tragedy
Time has stopped
