85 Miles

85 miles, a thousand years I walked
Seven days without a cross, hours in exile
Alone – the thoughts of a million souls
The wall that barred their way has led me to soothing lands.

From shore to shore, years or more, seasons in the cold
From birth to death, looking for you.

Where their past meets my peace
Where the sounds of waves silence years of chaos
Voices of the past
Shore to shore, further from home, further from harm
Shore to shore, severed no more.

85 miles and a hundred tribes and legions
Witness this might ruined yet alive again
With so many hills and fields ahead
Eastbound, the wind carries my hope
To see you one last time.

From shore to shore, years or more, seasons in the cold
World after world, brick by brick, a long way home, pacing the void
From roots to leaf, finding you.

From shore to shore, years or more, seasons in the cold
World after world, brick by brick, step by step, pacing the void
From birth to death, losing you.
