The Battle of Antipodes

There is one dance in the soul
An elegant demise for those with supple hearts
It begins softly, soft as the feathers of a swan
And grows deeper, stronger yet
To claim all we know and all we see

This is what we live for
This is what we've become
This is how we decide
How this life now will be done
'cause in the end, we all take sides
In the Battle of Antipodes

There they stood, face to face
Awaiting dawn to pierce the dark
But that light, it never came
Their hearts burning slow with nothing left to gain
Eye to eye, they realize
Their hearts were worlds apart

This is what we live for
This is what we've become
This is how we decide
How this life now will be done
'cause in the end, we all take sides
In the Battle of Antipodes

One word, one phrase, one key to release
The storm inside 18 years in the making
Here he stands, his future in hand
And all he can find is the next step in line
He looks for the answers in gold and serenades
But lives like there's nothing to dream
So he stretches his pride
To find what he might
In the light that pierces his eyes

This is what we live for
This is what we've become
This is how we decide
How this life now will be done
'cause in the end, we all take sides
In the Battle of Antipodes
