about

This is a reworking of an earlier Sleepwalk Cinema track, XO4K, written for my friend Kimberly.
Despite having associated lyrics, the track was released as an instrumental. Yet it needed female vocals to get the sentiment right. So I collaborated with former Project 12:01 vocalist Melly London, taking the song to the next level. Melly made some lyrical improvements and together we made an entirely new arrangement. -M. Lauter

lyrics

THE RAVINE

Is the sky falling?
or our hearts soaring?
Either way
the future is calling
Together we're ascending
Together we're falling
Either way the future is calling

These cliffs touch the skies
Rocks slide underneath
Time seems to stop tonight
The edge is at our feet...

So hold my hand dear
and don't you fear

Through the vast evergreens
we run, we love, we move
closer to heaven it may seem
while the gods approve

So hold my hand dear
and don't you fear

Is the sky falling?
or our hearts soaring?
Either way
the future is calling

Together we're ascending
Together we're falling
Either way the future is calling

Either way the future is calling

See the hope behind our eyes
along this steep ravine...

So hold my hand dear
and don't you fear

Hold my hand dear
and don't fear

So hold my hand dear
and don't you fear
