Our path diverges, set apart, you see,
From all the world, eternally.
In eyes, the lamps of sorrow softly gleam,
On grief's dark hem, a vibrant, unseen dream.
Our path diverges, set apart, you see.

Grant eyes their mist, and tears begin to flow,
Grant eyes their mist, and tears begin to flow,
We plucked a truth, from depths within, you know,
We plucked a truth, from depths within, you know,
Our path diverges, set apart, you see.
Our path diverges, set apart, you see.

The tale of nearness, a story hard to hold,

We speak it forth, yet still, a debt unfolds,
We speak it forth, yet still, a debt unfolds,
Our path diverges, set apart, you see.
Our path diverges, set apart, you see.

Though laughter's offered, meant for all to share,
Though laughter's offered, meant for all to share,
We'll shape the guise of mendicants with care,
We'll shape the guise of mendicants with care,
Our path diverges, set apart, you see.
Our path diverges, set apart, you see.
In eyes, the lamps of sorrow softly gleam,
On grief's dark hem, a vibrant, unseen dream.
