Progression:
[Riff 1] x2
[Riff 1] x2 w/ lyrics:
Look, the mist is rising and the sun is peeking through.
See the steps grow lighter as I reach their final few.
Hear the dancing waters, I must be drawing near.
Feel my heart is pounding with embattled hope and fear. [Strike A5]
[Riff 2] x2
[Riff 2] x2 w/ lyrics:
Now at last I fall before the Fountain of Lamneth.
I thought I would be singing, but I'm tired, out of breath.
D C
Many journeys end here, but the secret's told the same.
D C Fmaj7 G6 [3x0000]
Life is just a candle, and a dream... must give it flame.
[Riff 1] x2
[Riff 1] x2 w/ lyrics:
The key, the end, the answer, stripped of their disguise.
Still it's all confusion and tears spring to my eyes.
Though I've reached a signpost, it's really not the end.
Like Old Sol behind the mountain, I'll be coming up again. [Strike A5]
[Riff 2] x1
[Guitar Solo] in the key of G over: [Riff 2] x2 then [Riff 3] x1
(this is only an approximation; and a BAD one at that; the beginning is
right, and the ending is right, the rest is ... )

[Above x2 w/ lyrics]:
I'm in motion; I am still.
I am crying; I am still.
I'm together; I'm apart.
I'm forever at the start.
D
Still, I am.
