Lyrics A Certain Knowledge - Desolation

A Certain Knowledge

Lift the curse from us so we can see
Through rainy days we feed our misery
So many different names we nail upon the cross
To mock ourselves, to grin at bitter loss
And when we see right through the clouds that we create
We’re gripped with fear and burn the sacred oil of
Life eternal to the darkening skies
With only memories to guide we wander through those winter fields
Where frost bites deep and cruel wind tears at our bleeding hearts
…our bleeding empty hearts
See where the sun breaks the clouds they appear made of light
They ride upon horses the wind and the rain,
whitewinged stallions of immortal gain
Visions to strengthen the duskeaten souls on their way through the night
Towards eternal life in the face of the light
But chaos still is in command
Darkness feasts upon my lack of strength
A certain knowledge engraved upon us all
This world of sin shall surely fall
Rejoice my soul, I shall not fear
We are delivered, death, where is thy sting?
Aimlessly we stride on and on through frozen fields until we die
And wind can no more haunt our sleep the shallow graves keep out the night
…keep out the night…
…and night must yield to day and die
A certain knowledge engraved upon us all
This world of sin shall surely fall
This world is not where to have treasures, this world is not ours to keep
This world shall fall to lifeless ruins, oblivion shroud all our pride
A certain knowledge of desaster, this world of sin shall surely fall
…shall surely fall
