Lyrics:

Yesterday with eyes away the briefness of a moment
As in a blinding flash of light the world came remade
Vague my life, a distant shadow filtered through my mind
And dreamed my lover's kiss subdued the emptiness inside

I watch a thousand ships go by
From the cliffs above the helpless tide

I raise my chin to the god within
As to carry fear with a failing grin
And blizzard rage fills every page
Fills every breath and every taste

I raise my chin to the god within
As to carry fear with a failing grin
And blizzard rage fills every page
Fills every breath and every taste within

Pretending nothing's to take the place of our disappearing words
Silence where the water flows and where our actions blur
So angels kiss the brows and lips and pull the strings inside
Waiting for the firelight to bring tomorrow home

I watch a thousand ships go by
From the cliffs above the raging tide

I raise my chin to the god within
As to carry fear with a failing grin
And blizzard rage fills every page
Fills every breath and every taste

I raise my chin to the god within
As to carry fear with a failing grin
And blizzard rage fills every page
Fills every breath and every taste within

(Barely audible)

I raise my chin to the god within
As to carry fear with a failing grin
And blizzard rage fills every page
Fills every breath and every taste

I raise my chin to the god within
As to carry fear with a failing grin
And blizzard rage fills every page
Fills every breath and every taste within
