Fantastic Flight - Chapter 4 - In the Long Run

*chorus* The mountain winds are howling its stormy resentment The snow glitters on the triumphant mountains… I’ve tried to conceal these feelings of discontent My eyes are spraying with tears of sorrow – weep no more, sad fountains Don’t push me to the limits – I breathe in and out I let go of my anxiety and trade it with prosperity– I’m one with the passionate, frozen desires in my heart I’m strong like Sampson in the bible – Let the light of day unfreeze my heart’s agony and avarice I don’t want to believe in those silly allegories… Am I your living sacrifice? My heart is as cold as ice…I need to take His advice! I have faced reality alone before Is this real or is this a myth? There’s more land to explore! ~Last Verse~ Accidents happen – I keep saying that in my mind like a broken record But, it ruefully discards it – I’m lost instead of found I can’t afford losing you – you were my heart’s melodic tune and you made me taste accord! I’m homeward bound…my mind’s spinnin’ round and round Fantastic flight – be my target tonight and let me take wing and overcome this plight! Let me take wing and let me unveil God’s light! Everything’s gonna be alright! The past is behind me – bury it…don’t dig it up! Let it go for the time being and I want to your eyes, bliss-sprinkled behind those spectacular spectacles! The past will not bring me down to ruins or in poverty – let me get down on my knees and pray – let me be for a while and I’ll be a believer of your wonder-filled miracles! Fantastic flight – you make me high like a child’s beloved kite Fantastic flight of dazzling delight – don’t let me drift away from the light of His truth…I’m reaching a divine height…I’m flying with all of my remaining might! You’re hidden from the surface overhead…you’re way above me! I’m not the sparkling sea as you can possibly see…you’re as elegant as can be! *BRIDGE* Take away the grief…trade me with everlasting relief The sin course inside of me – it becomes serpentine… Take me away to your dwelling place…you are beyond belief! You’re as bittersweet and blissful as the finest of wine I’m driving on another lane... It’s the abyss that I have tried to avoid before Don’t let me be driven insane… You’re the one I’ve always wanted – let’s not wage war Let’s not wage war anymore! The sin weighs me down like cruel gravity… I feel the sense that I’m captivity-bound….I’m grounded for life…Help me! Help me, please? I can’t handle feeling this pity! I have a feeling things will eventually work out in the long run – I want you to be brave & free!
