clear horizon

Alter Bridge

If I died tonight
Would the question still remain
Did I live for what was right
Did I live this life in vain
A simulated lie
Just a spark that's sure to fade
Then I start to wonder why
I couldn't see the apparition from the start

Like a counterfeit I've had enough of this
I bought the dream and it let me down so
I want to take the risk, I want to learn to live
To find the one thing that can't be sold

This might be paradise
A mirage that's in decay
In this world it's hard to find
Something real among the wreckage of our hope

Like a counterfeit I've had enough of this
I bought the dream and it let me down

Awake now I see the clear horizon
It was just out of reach from the start

If I take the chance
Will you cross the line with me
And amend this circumstance
Only this eternal truth can set you free

Like a counterfeit I've had enough of this
I bought the dream and it let me down

Awake now I see the clear horizon
It was just out of reach from the start

Pure escape
Pure escape
Pure escape
It's not too late
Lay me down in the field
I'm letting go
There is beauty to behold
A pure escape
Just take me now to a place
Where I am whole
To fill the void I have known
It's not too late

I want to take the risk, I want to learn to live
To find the one thing that can't be sold

Awake now I see the clear horizon
It was just out of reach from the start
The day we can see the clear horizon
Is the moment we save our broken hearts
The clear horizon
A pure escape
The clear horizon
