The Fountain Of Lamneth Lyrics - Caress Of Steel - Rush

I. In the Valley] 

I am born 

I am me 

I am new 

I am free 

Look at me 

I am young 

Sight unseen 

Life unsung 

My eyes have just been opened 

And they're open very wide 

Images around me 

Don't identify inside 

Just one blur I recognize 

The one that soothes and feeds 

My way of life is easy 

And as simple are my needs

Yet my eyes are drawn toward 

The mountain in the east 

Fascinates and captivates 

Gives my heart no peace 

The mountain holds the sunrise 

In the prison of the night 

'Til bursting forth from rocky chains 

The valley floods with light 

Living one long sunrise 

For to me all things are new 

I've never watched the sky grow pale 

Or strolled through fields of dew 

I do not know of dust to dust 

I live from breath to breath 

I live to climb that mountain 

To the Fountain of Lamneth

Stay! Go! 

Work! No! 

Learn! Live! 

Earn! Give! 

Stay or fight? What's right? 

Listen! 

Crying back to consciousness 

The coldness grips my skin 

The sky is pitching violently 

Drawn by shrieking winds 

Seaspray blurs my vision 

Waves roll by so fast 

Save my ship of freedom 

I'm lashed helpless to the mast 

Remembering when first I held 

The wheel in my own hands 

I took the helm so eagerly 

And sailed for distant lands 

But now the sea's too heavy 

And I just... I just don't understand 

Why must my crew desert me? 

When I need... I need a guiding hand... 

Call out for direction 

And there's no one there to steer 

Shout out for salvation 

But there's no one there to hear 

Cry out supplication 

For the maelstrom is near 

Scream out desperation 

But no one cares to hear 

The whiteness of confusion 

Is unfolding from my mind 

I stare around in wonder 

Have I left my life behind? 

I catch the scent of ambergris 

And turn my head, surprised 

My gaze is caught and held and I 

Am helpless... mesmerized 

Panacea, liquid grace 

Oh let me touch your fragile face 

Enchantment falls around me 

And I know I cannot leave 

Here's a meaning for my life 

A shelter from the storm 

Pacify my troubles with 

Her body, soft and warm 

Naked in our unity 

A smile for every tear 

Gentle hands that promise me 

Comfort through the years 

Yet I know I must be gone 

Before the light of dawn 

Panacea, passion pure 

I can't resist your gentle lure 

My heart will lie beside you 

And my wandering body grieves 

Another endless day 

Silhouettes of grey 

Another glass of wine 

Drink with eyes that shine 

To days without that chill at morning 

Nights time out of mind 

Draw another goblet 

From the cask of '43 

Crimson misty memory 

Hazy glimpse of me 

Give me back my wonder 

I've something more to give 

I guess it doesn't matter 

There's not much more to live 

Another foggy dawn 

The mountain almost gone 

Another doubtful fear 

The road is not so clear 

My soul grows ever weary 

And the end is ever near 

Look! The mist is rising 

And the sun is peaking through 

See the steps grow lighter 

As I reach their final few 

Hear the dancing waters 

I must be drawing near 

Feel, my heart is pounding 

With embattled hope and fear 

Now, at last I fall before 

The Fountain of Lamneth 

I thought I would be singing 

But I'm tired... out of breath 

Many journeys end here 

But, the secret's told the same 

Life is just a candle and a dream 

Must give it flame 

The key, the end, the answer 

Stripped of their disguise 

Still it's all confusion 

And tears spring to my eyes 

Though I've reached a signpost 

It's really not the end 

Like Old Sol behind the mountain 

I'll be coming up again 

I'm in motion 

I am still 

I am crying 

I am... still 

I'm together 

I'm apart 

I'm forever 

At the start 

Still... I am
