Reach (Acoustic)
The Venus Effect
In the beginning That fragile point in time Something began to grow Nourished a seed with tears The dawn of a new pain Roots regenerate And dawn upon a great sorrow Passing down the ache Colliding spirits of anger A flicker of a spark An unending refrain Towards the surface A desperate cry for absolution Remission of the scourge Branching outwards toward the overworld Breathing hope and the dawn of a new age Pristine soul Calling out for protection In unison, collective With the seeds of surrounding souls joined Resounding throughout the earth (Now we′re one) Pray the everlasting provision A salve for restitution The once depraved and lost have found a route through the roots The eye of hatred sees me I feel a different meaning coming over me Coming over me The circle of blood is drawn over the exit I long to make it to the surface and breathe (Bring me back from Hell) (Of my own making) (See me through this mess) (See me through this maze) Pristine aura From the time of conception An order, correction To the state of chaos surrounding Resounding through the vibrant growth The underlying condition Is in remission now (Set us free) Resounding throughout the vibrant growth The underlying condition is in remission now Now, collecting into pools of humming sound Resplendent healing for the ones who found a way out (The eye of hatred sees me) (I feel a different meaning coming over me) (Coming over me) In the beginning That fragile point in time Something began to grow A way back to the surface Cleansed of all sunless doubt Inherit awareness
