Lineage

A dynasty of reincarnation.
Souls relive in each new body.
In the night, in preparation.
We reveal our own secret dreams.

Carry me home to caves of succession.
Raise me up high and I'll follow your way.
Tear me apart and teach me a mission.
I will give in and give my soul away.

I have a lineage to hold.
A legacy of flowing gold.
A history of family.
To take the mantle's destiny.
I have a lineage to hold.
But if I may be so bold.
I would like to be my own.
If my soul can find a home.

Sacred scrolls will hold the answer.
Purity of songs and poise.
I will be the finest dancer.
I will sing on through the noise.

Call out my name and bring a tear to my eyes.
I adore your support and wish I could stay.
When I'm alone and I realize.
Being my own person leads me astray.

I have a lineage to hold.
A legacy of flowing gold.
A history of family.
To take the mantle's destiny.
I have a lineage to hold.
But if I may be so bold.
I would like to be my own.
If my soul can find a home.

I can't taste my reality.
What is real inside of me?
Am I the original?
Where can I find a new soul?

I have a lineage to hold.
A legacy of flowing gold.
A history of family.
To take the mantle's destiny.
I have a lineage to hold.
But if I may be so bold.
I would like to be my own.
If my soul can find a home.
