Testo di 'Waterfront' di New Machine

I look out to the horizon, and I see for miles and miles
I'm standing at the waterfront, the view always makes me smile
The breeze is blowing through my hair, the sun shines on my face
I feel so peaceful in the shadows, of this enchanted place
I think about all the days gone by, thoughts of my childhood dreams
I can see I'm getting older, trying to find out what it means
The wind took my sails, its bite as cold as death
The light of nature shined on me, I tasted her gelid breath
She raised her voice in majesty, like the trumpets of the dead
The distant notes of her song danced inside my head
I rode the waves of distant seas, towards the golden shore
I tried to reach where I belonged, I needed to know more
The ancient men would tell their stories, underneath a starlit sky
But the moon would laugh, as the days just passed them by
Wandering soul in liquid white
Sleeping children in moonlit skies
A tale of old by firelight
I will not dream tonight
I turned the corner and there it stood, enticing me to come
The path that laid in front of me, wandered towards the setting sun
In the trees a songbird sang, and I listened to the tune
When she stopped I began to walk, towards the rising moon
It took me by the hand, as it led me down the trail
To the so-called 'promised' land, that I knew from faerie tales
The thought made me shiver, but I longed to proceed
Like the wind on a river, a boat, the oars in need
As I approached the open gate, I saw his silhouette
I thought not to hesitate, but something stopped me yet
I looked into his eyes, and I saw the lonely stare
I just then realized, I was not yet prepared
All my life I awaited this day, to step through the open door
But when I saw the way, the gate closed forever more....
