Better to wander mirages I must embrace,
Better to wander mirages I must embrace,
Lest the thirst consume me, should I see a place
Where waters flow, a river's vast expanse.
Better to wander mirages I must embrace.

I am a traveler lost in fate's dark night,
I am a traveler lost in fate's dark night,
If light should dawn, my shadow's form to sight,
If light should dawn, my shadow's form to sight,
Lest the thirst consume me, should I see a place
Where waters flow, a river's vast expanse.
Better to wander mirages I must embrace.

The mirror shows a glimpse of what's undone,
The mirror shows a glimpse of what's undone,
If you were found, my wholeness I'd have won,
If you were found, my wholeness I'd have won,
Lest the thirst consume me, should I see a place
Where waters flow, a river's vast expanse.
Better to wander mirages I must embrace.

My flight's own end, a void, celestial sphere,
My flight's own end, a void, celestial sphere,
To see myself upon the gallows here,
To see myself upon the gallows here,
Lest the thirst consume me, should I see a place
Where waters flow, a river's vast expanse.
Better to wander mirages I must embrace.
Better to wander mirages I must embrace.
