Look To Windward Lyrics

Will you listen
Just as my form starts to fission
Losing this war of attrition
Just as I drift away
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?

With the shadows
Longer to me than a light-year
Moving so slow I could die here
Say you can hear me say
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?

Now I know why
I woke up here on the shoreline
Coughing up blood in the twilight
Everything looks the same
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?

Will you halt this eclipse in me?

I've got eyelids heavy enough to break diamonds
You pray for sound and I pray for silence
Damn right faithless, I can't deny you'll
Find me with half a mind to get violent

You know it isn't over till I say it's over
No more little angels sitting on my shoulder
So give me the edge of a blade and a time and a place
And I'll leave them cold and pushing up boulders

Am I walking with gods or merely stumbling forth
Until there's fire at the gates, until I fall to the floor?
You know I live by the feather and die by the sword
And I will sunder the earth only to burn the reward

Even in this garden of gardens I am the god of the gaps
I am the demon of Sodom
I am the blood of an angel, the fate of the fallen
Nobody knows where I came from, even I have forgotten

How could I already lose my way like this?
Drowning in burning bright abyss
Even at stratospheric depths
This vertigo of bliss

Oh and I
I used to know myself
Oh and you
You used to know me well
Oh and I
I wish that I could leave myself alone
Oh and you
You wish that you could make me whole

Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?

Will you halt this eclipse in me?

I've got eyelids heavy enough to break diamonds
You pray for sound and I pray for silence
Damn right faithless, I can't deny you'll
Find me with half a mind to get violent

You know it isn't over till I say it's over
No more little angels sitting on my shoulder
So give me the edge of a blade and a time and a place
And I'll leave them cold and pushing up boulders

Even in this garden of gardens I am the god of the gaps
I am the demon of Sodom
I am the blood of an angel, the fate of the fallen
Nobody knows where I came from, even I have forgotten

How could I already lose my way like this?
Drowning in burning bright abyss
Even at stratospheric depths
This vertigo of bliss

Oh and I
I used to know myself
Oh and you
You used to know me well
Oh and I
I wish that I could leave myself alone
Oh and you
You wish that you could make me whole

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is a profound exploration of internal collapse, existential dread, and the desperate yearning for salvation. Through vivid metaphors of cosmic distance, divine paradoxes, and emotional eclipse, frontman Vessel reflects on the fragmentation of self and the search for wholeness amid overwhelming darkness. The recurring plea, "Will you halt this eclipse in me?", serves as the song’s emotional anchor, a refrain that captures the tension between surrender and hope, and the human need for connection in the face of spiritual desolation.
