Where Silence Has Lease
Edenbridge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
from the riverheads to sea
to the fields of four-leaf clover
like a haggard falcon free
[chorus]
by a dovelike dream
riding on wings of ever
where no one has gone before
on the glaring stream
into the haven of time
to the land of peace
where silence has lease
on the high-flown cliffs ascending
in the priming of the day
feel the ocean`s salient power
from the vantage point survey
[chorus]
by a dovelike dream
riding on wings of ever
from the top supreme
where no one has gone before
on the glaring stream
into the haven of time
to the land of peace
where silence has lease
dream, so dream, dream this dovelike dream
and be, where none has gone before
free, so free, free like a haggard falcon
release, where silence has lease
forever, now or never
right on the edge of forever i am
(forever), and ever
forever into the haven of time
(forever), forever
riding into the land of peace
where silence has lease

The lyrics also portray a feeling of freedom, symbolized by the haggard falcon soaring high above all boundaries.
The chorus is particularly powerful, elevating the journey into a dreamlike state where one is riding on wings of ever towards the supreme top, where no one has gone before. This feeling is intensified by the reference to the haven of time, a place where peace prevails and silence has lease. In the second verse, the lyrics continue to inspire the listeners to tap into their primal instincts and embrace the power of nature. The ocean's salient power is especially emphasized, reminding us of the awe-inspiring beauty of the Earth.
Overall, "Where Silence Has Lease" is a song about personal growth and the importance of dreaming and pushing oneself beyond limits, connecting with nature, and finding peace within oneself. It encourages the listeners to embark on a journey of self-discovery, to embrace change, and to seek out opportunities for growth and enlightenment, ultimately leading them to the land of peace where silence has lease.
Line by Line Meaning
from the valleys to the coastlines
From the low-lying areas to the shores of the sea
from the riverheads to sea
From where the river begins to flow into the sea
to the fields of four-leaf clover
To the area where four-leaf clovers grow
like a haggard falcon free
Free like a falcon flying without restraint
by a dovelike dream
Guided by a peaceful and gentle dream
riding on wings of ever
Traveling always forward, without pause
from the top supreme
From the highest point imaginable
where no one has gone before
To a place that no one has ever seen or been
on the glaring stream
On a bright and shining current of energy
into the haven of time
Entering a place where time is irrelevant
to the land of peace
To an area that's tranquil and undisturbed
where silence has lease
A place where quietness is valued and abundant
on the high-flown cliffs ascending
Climbing up sheer and lofty cliffs
in the priming of the day
At the very beginning of the day
feel the ocean`s salient power
Experience the might of the sea
from the vantage point survey
Taking in the surroundings from a privileged position
dream, so dream, dream this dovelike dream
Imagine, really visualize, and make that peaceful dream a reality
and be, where none has gone before
Enter a territory that's uncharted or unexplored by anyone else
free, so free, free like a haggard falcon
Escape all constraints and boldly break free like a haggard falcon
release, where silence has lease
Liberate oneself somewhere serene and noiseless
forever, now or never
For eternal time, it can only happen now or not happen at all
right on the edge of forever i am
Standing on the brink of eternity
(forever), and ever
Enduring perpetually, never-ending
forever into the haven of time
Continuing indefinitely into a place where time is irrelevant
(forever), forever
Endlessly enduring and persisting
riding into the land of peace
Traveling onward into a place of harmony and tranquility
where silence has lease
A place where quietness is valued and abundant
