Higher Planes

There was a time when I looked to you for guidance
I sent you all my prayers -- you only sent me silence
The way was cleared by those that walked before
But roads less travelled called me in a voice that promised more

You steal my dreams -- forbid my eyes to see
And self appointed holy men won't let my soul be free
But ancient lies from an age of long ago
No more condemn me to the flames of Hell below

Oh, oh -- I've longed to touch the sky
Spread these wings and fly -- yeah

Fly on -- break these earthly chains
We'll meet again on higher planes
Fly on -- shed this earthly pain
We'll meet again on higher planes

You shield the truth behind ugly grins of saints
Conceal your shadows with the golden scenes they paint
When did it happen -- where did man go wrong
Demons sold a twisted tale and we bought it all along

I want to solve them -- the riddles in the stars
To hear the secret songs they sing -- the whispers from afar
No cage to hold me -- no prison weaved of sins
This is where the walls fall down -- my way to light begins

Oh, oh -- I've longed to touch the sky
Spread these wings and fly

Fly on -- break these earthly chains
We'll meet again on higher planes
Fly on -- shed this earthly pain
We'll meet again on higher planes
