Knowing

The original collection for this song was originally called Eternity but then I had issues from some of the songs I had already made so I decided to change the name and revamp the collection. Now the collection is called Garden of Earthly Desires, this song calle Knowing and the band Endgultige. Lyrics: We rode beneath an open sky Among the voices of the young No shadow lay upon the earth No warning from a human tongue Then daylight faltered overhead The distant heavens lost their flame And from beyond the farthest hills A sound arose without a name It comes... It comes... No thunder rolled across the land No fire crowned the distant plain Yet something older than all fear Had entered every breath I gained A solemn phrase of dreadful weight Too vast for any throat to sing It spoke no word, revealed no face Yet I understood the coming thing I KNOW! Though nothing stands before my eyes I KNOW! Beneath these unrelenting skies No shape, no name, no prophecy No hand to turn away the tide I KNOW! And all the world goes on outside I woke beneath a morning sun The walls remained, the clocks still turned The voices spoke of ordinary things As though the heavens had not burned The years became a thousand days The seasons passed without a sign And every dawn returned the world To everyone but me, unchanged I watched them build their fragile homes I watched them laugh beneath the stars I heard them speak of distant years And futures they believed were ours How could I tell them what I knew? What words could make the nameless clear? How could I speak of something vast When all I had to give was fear? I KNOW! Though nothing stands before my eyes I KNOW! Beneath these unrelenting skies No shape, no name, no prophecy No hand to turn away the tide I KNOW! And all the world goes on outside I prayed that I had dreamed it all That time would wear the feeling thin But years cannot erase a sound That still reverberates within I do not know what waits beyond I do not know the hour or day I only know the world I love Will never sound the same again I KNOW! And still the morning finds the earth I KNOW! And still the children come to birth The oceans rise, the forests breathe The living carry on beneath I KNOW! And nothing comes to set me free! The sky is clear... The world remains... And somewhere past the edge of sight... That sound... That sound... Remains.
