Recorded and produced in 2005 by Russ Vanover and The Arid Sea

lyrics

As on the crest of a wave
I rise and fall
As a golden leaf, heeding winter's call
I'll come to rest
To sink into the ground
The great sleep
At last
To be unbound

"Certainty, not faith, while in life, upon death"
All the hurt
Finally laid to rest
Though it's had its way with me
I've reveled in its breath
For life - for life
For life

Life is brief as it is long
Between this ripening flesh
And going beyond
Life is brief as it is long
I'm as content in going now
As carrying on

Turning with the unseen
Patience with the mysteries
Dreary eyes lifting with the veil of time
I pause in the silence
Gaze into the embers
And feel that no death has ever been in vain

Life is brief as it is long
Between this ripening flesh
And going beyond
Life is brief as it is long
I'm as content in going now
As carrying on
