Lyrics

Prelude to a Set

Verse I ? Youth

I was born of the deep blue sea
A force of nature, liquid majesty
Sometimes my meander
Becomes an all out sprint
(This) tireless effort leaving no footprint

Miles from shore, I?m all I can see
Gaining strength parasitically
Innate determination
Of the natural will
I'm carrying forward all that I don?t kill

I?m the wave, I give but take as I can
The working rhythm of the common man
My violent splendor
Impatient, Intense
When I peak it?s at your expense

RISE?

Verse II ? Prime

I?m the wave, the ocean skin
I?ve stayed in line, I try to fit in
Riding the momentum
Of a strong tailwind
I can't remember my youth
I can?t imagine the end

Lend a line to the collective soul
Hope I die before I get old
The extent of this rebellion
Is a ripple and swell
Will I leave a mark?
It?s too early to tell

RISE?
Best I?ll be
Is a ride,
a smile
A memory
All this life
Is blind
But free
A prelude to a set

(Rise up now)

Verse III - Twilight

I?m the wave, shore in sight
I found the runners kick at the finish line
The path was predetermined
The end is near
Fulfilling my purpose
Fighting back fear

Down the stretch, my form divine
My passengers all wait in line
One by one they stand up and they're riding the pipe
Here and gone in the blink of an eye
