Threshold - The Rubicon

[Groom, West] Out across the water staring to the shore Standing on the threshold of a dream No prior warning no overture Just a sudden ocean from the stream Isolation never was a violation Domination never was a destination We flew our colours Always on the run And all our gains Were shadows in the sun But as we journey through the fall So uncertain of it all We never come undone Or crossed the Rubicon Out across the valley variation comes Now the girl of summer disappears No demonstration no loaded gun No defend the ones who brought us here Condemnation never was a contemplation Domination never was a destination We flew our colours Always on the run And all our gains Were shadows in the sun But as we journey through the fall So uncertain of it all We never come undone Or crossed the Rubicon [SOLO] A spring of much potential A summer so eventful And so we carry on An autumn to sustain us So winter won’t betray us And so we carry on We fought against all reason To last another season And so we carry on Dependent on the kindness Of those who stand behind us And so we carry on [SOLO] Condemnation never was a contemplation Domination never was a destination We flew our colours Always on the run And all our gains Were shadows in the sun But as we journey through the fall So uncertain of it all We never come undone Or crossed the Rubicon [SOLO] Never really thought we'd come so far Everyone has something more to lose Never really thought it’s all we are So we must invent again ourselves Never really thought we'd fade away I have given to you all you have Never really thought we'd see the day A future generation devising its past Never really thought we'd lose these things All you ever thought will fall to the ground Never really thought we'd spread our wings Your struggle with the stars comes crashing down Never really thought we'd touch the sun The truth behind the end remains unseen Never really thought what we'd become A penny for the one you'd thought you'd be
