Lyrics
The Turning
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Time is left standing
Caught like sculpture in a moment
In the fading sun
The weather wears our faces down to nothing
Just like we were when it all first began
The stars will trace new shapes across an endless sky
Like jewels cut by (?)'s hand
Pissing the darkness
Like a hopefull thought comes far away
For all that you understand
'Cause we all know the future
And the future knows us all
And every one and everything must fall
The silence will be beutiful
The silence will be beutiful
As I lay dreaming on the mountain side
The empty heads philosofy to serve their ends
While the darkness swit awaits (?)
Used up suns is descending right above our heads
The wheel to witch where bound begins to shutter
From the rattle from our final breath
It's in its poems final piece
For the note rings out and wakes us
To begin again
'Cause we all know the future
And the future knows us all
And every one and everything must fall
The silence will be beautiful
The silence will be beautiful
