A Certain Knowledge - Desolation

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,

whitewinged 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

But 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

A certain knowledge engraved upon us all

This world of sin shall surely fall

This world is not where to have treasures, this world is not ours to keep

This world shall fall to lifeless ruins, oblivion shroud all our pride

A certain knowledge of desaster, this world of sin shall surely fall

…shall surely fall
