Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The fog has just lifted, revealing the gray
Hills that are rolling, rolling away
Bird songs invoking an echo of home
Sigma Oasis is waiting alone
Ooh-ooh
[Instrumental]
A stone in the harbor, a ripple at sea
The breeze in the parlor, the bend of your knee
The water train lurches and floats off the track
Sigma Oasis is calling us back
[Chorus]
So take off, take off, take off your mask
The fear's an illusion, so don't even ask
You're finally weightless, so take to the air
Sigma Oasis, you're already there
[Instrumental]
It's always a search or a hunt from the start
Seeking a memory dear to the heart
You're finally weightless, so take to the sky
Sigma Oasis goes sailing on by
[Chorus]
Take off, take off, take off your mask
The fear's an illusion, so don't even ask
You're finally weightless, so take to the air
Sigma Oasis, you're already there
[Instrumental]
You're already there
[Instrumental]
You're already there
[Instrumental]
Our ligaments falter, we scatter like art
In furrows assemble what tides pulled apart
The work on the bone fragment jigsaw may cease
Sigma Oasis holds the last piece
[Bridge]
Sigma Oasis, adrift on a breeze
A waterlogged train traversing the seas
Sigma Oasis alone on a beach
Protecting a castle the tides never reached
Am I protecting or breaking an oath?
For Sigma Oasis, it's neither and both
You're finally weightless, so take to the air
Sigma Oasis, you're already there
[Outro]
You're already there
You're already there
You're already there
You're already there
You're already there
