I'm going on a journey tonight Can't delay no more Don't even think about waiting up It'll be a while I'm gonna find out once and for all What I truly am And if I catch your scent on the trail Coming from behind I'll cut the rope And watch the bridge fall to the other side So you won't be able to follow me in I traveled on and onward for days Turning into weeks No sign of anything even close To a guiding light At last I had come to a place Where the trees cleared off for miles A pond that reflected the black above Drew me to its edge And I watched as the water Showed me something on the other side I saw what no one should ever have to see I saw what I am My true nature Water so cold I dove right in The first time I died The guests walking by weren't sure What they were seeing A fog left me blind, a rush left me numb What a way to ring in the new year I heard a gentle voice on the way out Guiding me to my resting place (O Discordia! Discordia!) She said, "Don't be afraid" "Don't be afraid" (O Discordia! Discordia!) She said, "Don't be afraid to let go" The first time you die The breath of your life drifts away Leaving you hollow No tunnels of light or flashes of past memories Just smothering darkness You might hear a voice on the way out Difficult not to obey (O Discordia! Discordia!) She said, "Don't be afraid" "Don't be afraid to let go" (O Discordia! Discordia!) She said, "Don't be afraid to let go" (O Discordia! Discordia!) She said, "Don't be afraid to let go" When I got to the peak I found a rope lyin' next to me Stretchin' up to eternity I gave a tug on the line And shot up into a big bright light So brilliant that I had to shield my eyes To you The one who pulled me up And saved my life tonight All metaphor aside I revere your undimming light I don't think lions could have more pride There I went right again It's hard to stop when I grab this pen Without a sign, with no sign of an end Thanks to you Know just what you have done? Here's to you The one who always returns To save some other's life Three cheers for never coming apart Through all your trials sustained Three cheers to your generous heart Know I appreciate Hip, hip, hooray! Time will show me how to live my life But I've learned that there's good within mankind From the first time I died
