Lyrics

Oh Holy land
Come ancient spirit
Take up my hand
And guide me

Pull me to shore
Rivers are rising
Look in this heart
And find me

I've lost my way
Your voice is silent
I need you here
To remind me

Show me now
How to find my home
All I am
Surrender

Let the water flow right through this broken soul

I fought by your side
Ashes still burning
I proved my worth
So tell me why

I've lost my way
Your voice is silent
I need you here
To remind me

Show me now
How to find my home
All I am
Surrender

Tell me that you can forgive
Bring me peace that I may live

Show me now
How to find my home
All I am
Surrender

Oh sweet rest
Find me at my home
Stay with me
Forever

Let the water flow right through this broken soul

Trivia

• The "Holy Land" and "Ancient Spirit" mentioned in the lyrics may be referring to the series' equivalent of Heaven and God respectively.
• The first few seconds of the song play at the cutscene at the end of Celestial Caves, before being quickly replaced by the level's theme again. Oddly, it plays in a part completed unrelated to the dragon elders, Ignitus included, who would be mentioned sometime later in the scene.
