A desert in the fighting sun
I feel my throat is burning
Paralyzed in long for more
Drawn by vanity and yearning
Hey, sand is blown into my face
Brick by brick we're climbing higher
And still the sun is burning from above
We're children chained by desire
A symbol of godliness
Rising high into the sky
The work of the genius
Who's raising his own decline
We are off to the light - Heavenward
On an expedition to heaven or hell
We are off into the night - Heavenward
Sacred expedition to heaven or hell
Hey the seeker reaching for the stars
Beyond the scope of profanity
Oh, and then he tried to touch the light
And fire burned his sanity away
Oh I gotta see it all
The deities, I hear them
But then when you follow their call
Pride goes before the fall
We are off to the light - Heavenward
On an expedition to heaven or hell
We are off into the night - Heavenward
Sacred expedition to heaven or hell
