Ask the runes
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.
Where do we come from, where do we go,
what is the answer I want to know?
Where do we come from, where do we go,
where are the things I need to know?
Where do we come from, where do we go?
Don´t ask me `cause I don´t know!
REF: To find an answer to all your questions -
ask the Runes.
To find an answer to all your questions -
ask the Runes.
Where does it lead to, how will it end,
and tell me who will stop the rain?
What are we here for, why must we die,
why can we laugh, why can we cry?
So many saints, so many sins
and tell me what tomorrow brings!
So many questions, so many tears,
so many cloudy days and fears.
What can they tell me, what are they for?
They are your friends - an open door!
REF: To find an answer.....
What is the difference between good and bad,
where is the love I never had?
Where are the girls, where have they gone,
was I right or maybe wrong?
What means `beginning´, what is `the end´,
where are the letters I never sent?
Should I be quiet or should I talk,
should I rest or should I walk?
What can I do, what can I say,
what is the price I have to pay?
Should I stay or should I go -
ask the Runes `cause I don´t know!
REF: To find an answer.....
