It Waits Lyrics
In your eyes a veiled disguise
No surprise
Now it waits for you
Into the fray it went away
Or so they say
Still it waits for you
Still inside the great divide
Is growing wide
There it waits for you
Alone I pray for all who say
They've lost their way
And it waits for you
And it waits for you
And it waits for you
And it waits for you
In your eyes a veiled disguise
No surprise
Now it waits for you
Into the fray it went away
Or so they say
Still it waits for you
Out of the night, into the light of the dawn
There's nobody here, all that you love is now gone
Still inside the great divide
Is growing wide
There it waits for you
Alone I pray for all who say
They've lost their way
And it waits for you
Look out
It waits for you
It waits for you
It waits for you
It waits for you
It waits for you
It waits for you
No surprise
Now it waits for you
Or so they say
Still it waits for you
Is growing wide
There it waits for you
They've lost their way
And it waits for you
And it waits for you
And it waits for you
No surprise
Now it waits for you
Or so they say
Still it waits for you
There's nobody here, all that you love is now gone
Is growing wide
There it waits for you
They've lost their way
And it waits for you
It waits for you
It waits for you
It waits for you
It waits for you
It waits for you

I think that like most of the songs on this album, the lyrics are about lost time and returning back to your true calling after a long absence. Pretty appropriate given Mike Howe's return to the band twenty years after he left.
I love the repetition at the end. It has such a hopeful sound, like it's telling everybody who has given up on, or never followed, their dreams that it's never too late. Sounds like it should be the last song on the album.
The song highlights the struggle between the light and dark aspects of human nature and serves as a reminder to be vigilant and aware of the hidden battles we face within ourselves and the consequences that can arise from ignoring or succumbing to them.
