BEYOND THE FIELDS

WANNA KNOW WHAT THE NAME OF THE BAND MEANS? WELL,
WHATEVER IT MEANS TO YOU IS FINE WITH ME. TO ME IT HAS MANY
DIFFERENT MEANINGS. IF NOTHING ELSE, IT HINTS AT THAT
NEVERENDING JOURNEY WE CALL LIFE. DAY AFTER DAY, WE'RE ALL
CROSSING FIELD AFTER FIELD, TRYING TO REACH THE HORIZON,
BUT WE NEVER DO.

THIS SONG WAS WRITTEN DURING A COLD WINTER NIGHT AT MY
PARENTS' HOME. THEY HAVE THIS LARGE WINDOW FROM WHERE
YOU CAN SEE THE WIDE FIELDS AND THE APPLE TREES OF THEIR
NEIGHBOUR'S FARM. IN WINTER, WHEN THE FIELDS ARE COVERED
WITH SNOW, THE MOONLIGHT IS REFLECTED. THE NIGHTS BECOME
SO BRIGHT THAT EVEN INSIDE YOU CAN ACTUALLY READ OR WRITE
BY NOTHING BUT THE LIGHT OF THE MOON. WORDS CAN ONLY
SUGGEST BUT NEVER FULLY CAPTURE THE BEAUTY OF REAL
THINGS. YET BELIEVE ME, THOSE NIGHTS ARE PURE MAGIC.

THE SKY IS HANGIN' LOW
THE FIELDS ARE COVERED IN SNOW
EVERYTHING'S WHITE AS FAR AS I CAN SEE

THE WINDS ARE FREEZING COLD
THEY CHILL ME TO THE BONE
A BLIZZARD IS RUSHING THROUGH THE TREES

I'M TRYIN' TO GET AHEAD
BUT THE SNOW FEELS LIKE LEAD
IT REACHES UP TO MY KNEES

I FEEL MY POWERS FADE
FASTER EVERY DAY
THERE'S NO ONE, NO ONE HERE BUT ME

YET I'LL KEEP ON TRYIN'
TO LEAVE THE FIELDS BEHIND
EVEN IF IT'S THE LAST THING
I'LL DO IN MY LIFE
YEAH, I'LL KEEP ON TRYIN'
TO LEAVE THE FIELDS BEHIND
EVEN IF IT'S THE LAST THING I'LL DO

THE SKY IS OUTTA SIGHT
I THINK I'M GOIN' BLIND
I CLOSE MY EYES; NOTHING MORE TO SEE

THE HILLS ARE ON MY MIND
I WONDER WHAT'S BEHIND
BUT I KNOW THEY'RE TOO FAR AWAY FOR ME

THE SNOW IS ALL AROUND
THE WINDS ARE WEARIN' ME OUT
EVERYTHING'S NUMB; CAN'T HARDLY KEEP MY FEET

I DREAM OF LYING DOWN
DOWN ON THE GROUND
I'M ALL THAT I WILL EVER BE

YET I'LL KEEP ON TRYIN'
TO LEAVE THE FIELDS BEHIND
EVEN IF IT'S THE LAST THING
I'LL DO IN MY LIFE
YEAH, I'LL KEEP ON TRYIN'
TO LEAVE THE FIELDS BEHIND
EVEN IF IT'S THE LAST THING I'LL DO
