Midnight Sun

What went down on the side of the road?
What I saw at the edge of the sea
Only those elements time cannot wear
And they follow
What seeped out through the cracks of time?
What sucks out the color in me?
What awaits beyond infinity?

Beyond and to all time I stand
Beyond and to all time I stand

What blew in with the great gale?
What weighed down the falling leaves?
What came forth from the remains?
What has always lived and gone unseen?
What has caused the night to fall?
Who speaks of eternity?
Who awakes to night eternally?

Beyond and to all time I stand
Beyond and to all time I stand

Beyond and to all time I stand
Beyond and to all time I stand
I stand, I stand
To all time, I stand
And to all time

Go!

(O my soul love, I pray thee pity me
From out this dark gulf where this poor heart lies
A barren world hemmed in by leaden skies
Where horror flies at night, and blasphemy

For half the year the sickly sun is seen
The other half thick night lies on the land
A country bleaker than the polar strand
No beasts, no brooks, nor any shred of green

There never was a horror which surpassed
This icy sun's cold cruelty)

Beyond and to all time I stand
Beyond and to all time I stand

Beyond and to all time I stand
Beyond and to all time I stand
I stand, I stand

I stand!

(O my soul love, I pray thee pity me
From out this dark gulf where my poor heart lies,
A barren world hemmed in by leaden skies)
