I stayed awake last night until it ended So I could see the ocean opening In black and deepest crimson of a dim and trembling glow I walked out on the cold sand towards the wind Never know the feeling of this moment That reaches everything that can be known If charlemagne went off the range and burned his own command A shadow on the heart of christendom I left my doubts When I found out Left it exposed How deep it goes The water's warmer than I thought it would be It drew back and my heels sunk in a bit An ancient birddog suddenly to pierce the shining skin As sparrows grew to overtake the stars What here rings true Will wait for you And if it’s lies Distrust your eyes What here rings true Will wait for you And if it's lies Distrust your eyes
