Lyrics Shadows Of Ignorance - Klaus Schulze

Shadows Of Ignorance

Face to the future.
The past will cling and gather to us
Face the future, free from all
Look beyond where nothing gathers
Where no voices ever call.
There we stand and look upon it
There we are and here we stand
Looking down on ourselves
Either of us on both hands.
It’s love that gathers
And love that falls
And love that delusion shatters for us
There the sunbeams shines so brightly
Thru the shadows of ignorance.
And there lays my call beyond it all
To return in every single word.
And learn: That nothing ever was created without a purpose.
And ignorance is the choice not to know
(And) so — across the sand I go.
Water run the sunlight glisting
Like a jewel, 'cross the pearl
Water run the sunlight glisting
See the sunlight dally home
From the mountains you can hear the voices calling
From afar you can hear their echoing
Now you look upon the stars
Gaily brightning, brightning
From the light of the sun.
Every star and every planet should be heard
Every word shall be spread
Across the universe
Every gathering, every man,
Everyone who’s ever heard
Himself be calling to them, say:
Oh Lord, upon the God of all
Behind the universe
Everything spells your name
Everything calls your verse
Every word and every tree
Every land and every bee
Every bird, every beautiful woman,
Every strong man, every understanding
That is you and the living too
We know that we’re coming thru, coming thru…
Across the sand… coming thru…
Daylight glitter, no shadows
See the pattering all go
Across the desert to the snow
From where lands of sunshine birth
To the snowclad coldwide earth.
There is nothing to believe
Nothing that behind you BE
Everythings are one, the same
And the future is your game.
Choose your future, make your life
Reading now and understand
Beyond all where fate will lie
There go I, there go I
Travelling high…
Dancing blood upon the feet
Feel the rhythm of the beat
Dancing as the planets go round
Hear the rhythm of the sound
Feel the touch of all the earth
Since the time that had its birth
Believe the sky.
Empires have no hold on me
Nor the pull of history
Rich is delusion, cast the shed
I will dance upon their head.
Rich is delusion, beckon confusion
Telling my heart where it must go
I can be seen upon the screen
Of the television scene
That you always ever been
That we got to know.
Empty’s the power, empty’s the glory
Empty the vision that can see
Empty the season, empty the story
Empty the reason to be.
Onwards ever onwards going
Sometimes the future knowing
Still having to be growing
Onwards ever onwards going
And loving to be knowing
It’s all the time…
To change your mind
To expand with your hand
Feel the future, every land
Now it’s growing, now you can see
Where the future ought to be
It’s the reason you must know
Got to be and let it go…
This was a dream, let’s make it real
Everything knows what your heart feels.
And thought the sun should shine at night
Though the stars should not be bright
I’d hold you with my hands and see you grow.
Call me with your special voice
Let me hear your soul rejoice
Let the people of the world all know:
Time for evolution comes
Throw off the yoke and the sound of drums.
He’s beating out the rhythm
Of the blundered flows tonight
So let’s this make a wild dance ever
Let’s all see the thing together
See the sun that rises on the hill
It’s there still.
So you walk the line of time
And you dance the beat of your heart
You walk the line of your mind
To where it never could start.
To where all is arrayed beyond you
Beside you, round you, wherever you go.
Looking in love upon a reason
Hmmmm…
You know it’s all…
All is love and all is growing
All the destiny you knew
All is love and all is showing
Destiny is what you do
When you’re YOU:
What you are before you were!
All I give to be
That can be no revolt
No reason why
Just to do.
And that is why sweetness and mercy
Every day of my life will follow on
Faster than the horses
Swifter than lightbeams
Drifting by.
That is the place
The empty space
To stand.
