Crimson Line
Joe Hertler & the Rainbow Seekers Lyrics

As staccato mountains rise to meet their morning form
The mountains, with their sharp and abrupt appearance, ascend to greet the day

Their peaks ignited while the sun reaches on overboard
The mountain peaks become illuminated as the sun extends its rays beyond the horizon

The horizon eviscerate, casting its rays
The horizon opens up and releases its vibrant rays

Like the entrails of a thousand lifetimes in the wake
The rays resemble the innermost essence and experiences of countless lives

My shadow lengthened across an arid sea
My silhouette grew longer over a dry and barren ocean

I went to chase, but lost it under a rolling reef
I attempted to pursue my elongated shadow, but it disappeared beneath a turbulent underwater ridge

Of clouds overhead, boiling past a crimson line
The clouds above seethe and move swiftly beyond a vivid red boundary

The antecedent greeting a reunion of our lives
The preceding events set the stage for a meeting that joins together our life stories

The drowning sun, now below my feet
The sinking sun is now beneath me

Where a man meets his limit in dominion’s reach
This is the place where a person encounters their boundaries within their realm of influence

Like ferried souls, of whales at sea
Similar to transported souls, like those of whales swimming in the ocean

I'm just a visitor here and I’m about to leave
I am only passing through this place and soon departing

Oh land of angels, lost in their contemplation
A place filled with celestial beings immersed in deep reflection

Of the glory, infinite, across these forlorn places
Bearing the boundless splendor that extends across these desolate locations

So many words, found through silent things
Numerous messages are discovered through the observation of quiet objects

The sun will rise, while the world is sleeping
The sun will ascend even as the world remains in slumber

Perhaps having been, is the purest kind
Maybe the state of existence, regardless of the circumstances, is the most genuine form

I saw beyond the void where the stars go to die
I witnessed a realm beyond the emptiness where stars reach the end of their lifespan

I lept in deference, body cast in the sea
I made a respectful leap, my physical form submerged in the ocean

It seems that everyday, brings an eternity
Each day gives the impression of an everlasting duration

And I’m about to leave
And I am ready to depart

And I'm about to leave
And I am prepared to go

And I’m about to leave
And I am on the verge of departing

And I'm about to leave
And I am about to set off
