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
