A Certain Knowledge Songtext

Lift the curse from us so we can see Through rainy days we feed our misery So many different names we nail upon the cross To mock ourselves, to grin at bitter loss And when we see right through the clouds that we create We're gripped with fear and burn the sacred oil of Life eternal to the darkening skies With only memories to guide we wander through those winter fields Where frost bites deep and cruel wind tears at our bleeding hearts ...our bleeding empty hearts See where the sun breaks the clouds they appear made of light They ride upon horses the wind and the rain, whitewingèd stallions of immortal gain Visions to strengthen the duskeaten souls on their way through the night Towards eternal life in the face of the light Bu t chaos still is in command Darkness feasts upon my lack of strength A certain knowledge engraved upon us all This world of sin shall surely fall Rejoice my soul, I shall not fear We are delivered, death, where is thy sting ? Aimlessly we stride on and on through frozen fields until we die And wind can no more haunt our sleep the shallow graves keep out the night ...keep out the night... ...and night must yield to day and die
