Lyrics
I Know You Are There
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.
When the rope of death strangles
And dark waters roar and foam
When fear and trembling hold me
And the slimy grip pulls down
I know you are there
When the pale starlight is fading
And sorrow fills my heart
When dewdrops fall so sweetly
On the green, green grass at dawn
I know you are there
I know you are there
I know you are there
When black fish swim ponds of silver
Where jade water lilies grow
When devils dance around me
And the flames of madness glow
I know you are there
When the softly calling bluebirds
Drift through the lazy clouds
When white owls circle screaming
And gravel fills my mouth
I know you are there
I know you are there
I know you are there
