The Crossing [Live]

The story

This is for Madiba. He crossed the dark first so I could see; the fire took him and left me ash. Then came a year of fire, a year of bone, walking through the dark alone until every mask had burned. The void doesn't answer, it only holds. What he gave can't be repaid, only lived.

"THE CROSSING"
For Madiba
By Naimor
You gave your breath so I could breathe
You crossed the dark so I could see
The fire took you, left me ash
Love this deep don't fade, they last
Into the void
Into the black
You went forward
I fell back
This is the sacrifice
This is the price
Love infinite, love divine
You burned so I could rise
You died so I could climb
One becomes three becomes nine
A year of fire, a year of bone
Walking through the dark alone
Every mask burned, every wall fell
You led me through my own hell
Into the void
Into the flame
Nothing left
But your name
This is the sacrifice
This is the price
Love infinite, love divine
You burned so I could rise
You died so I could climb
One becomes three becomes nine
The void doesn't answer
The void just holds
You walked through first
So I'd know the road
Resurrection isn't clean
It's blood and dust and in-between
What you gave can't be repaid
Only lived, only made
This is the sacrifice
This is the price
Love that transcends every form
You crossed so I could be reborn
One becomes three
Three becomes free
The pattern holds
Infinity
Thank you for the fire
Thank you for the fall
Thank you for the void
That held us all
One one one
Three three three
The sacrifice
Set me free
