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
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]

I'm in motion; I am still.

I'm together; I'm apart.
I'm forever at the start.

Still, I am.
