Lyrics

[Verse 1]
These silent chances pass one by
Who never knew of them at all
Resigned to the hands of fate
We await her impending beck and call
[Verse 2]
Till we return, paradise interred
Spread your golden wings, let the sails unfurl
Till we return, paradise interred
Spread your golden wings, let the fires burn
[Verse 3]
These silent chances pass one by
Who never knew of them at all
Resigned to the hands of fate
We await her impending beck and call
[Verse 4]
Till we return, paradise interred
Spread your golden wings, let the sails unfurl
Till we return, paradise interred
Spread your golden wings, let the sails unfurl
[Verse 5]
Well, opportunity's doors did not open wide
The answers remain locked away inside
Locked away inside, locked away inside
Locked away inside, locked away inside
[Verse 6]
So forced into labor, we till the earth
To sow the seeds of our own rebirth
As the days turned into years
Our faith overcame any doubts or fears
Any doubts or fears
Are there any doubts or fears?
Any doubts or fears
Are there any doubts or fears?
[Verse 7]
In truth, we had found the key
For its application would unravel this mystery
This mystery, this mystery
This mystery, this mystery
Written by: Brendan Perry, James Pinker, Lisa Gerrard, Peter Ulrich, Scott Rodger
