Attalus - At The Rubicon lyrics

A new wind breaths, it beckons me to cross this stream; bids me come and seek my fate My heart is leaping, it's running, it's yearning, it's burning; but my reason bids me wait “While you're here, you are safe” – it tells me – “turn back now while there's still a chance You are a king, this is your fortune; over there you're just a man” But lay down your guns, futile mind Your fear has made you blind And this is time to leave all else behind Tonight the die is cast – I have no other choice This step could be my last – I can't ignore that voice I've counted up the cost; everything I have is lost And all I've left to do is cross This is the place we call the crossroad – a river marks the great divide Separating kings from kingdoms, sons from fathers, men from wives A gentle stream the only barrier – between the dream and what is real I'll leave this cave of empty shadows – step into the light of forms revealed But lay down your guns, futile mind Your fear has made you blind And this is price that freedom requires: to leave all else behind Step across the line Cut the tie that binds Listen to your heart and not your mind Let the kingdom fall Castles, thrones and all Life is on the other side Tonight the die is cast This step could be my last The city is burning, and there is no turning back I've counted up the cost All I have left is lost A new life is waiting; salvation is here and it's mine for the taking
