Lyrics The Ecstatic and the Sorrow - White Empress

The Ecstatic and the Sorrow

Initial reaction
Explosion into fate
For all the color in the universe
The black, the red
The ecstatic and the sorrow
It’s all intended
I don’t want to know it
Everything that can happen
Must and will happen
Follow the passion
The instinct’s calling me
The energy of time
It Moves through you and I
The language of the universe
Implies its design
Not by gods of old
But by something like mankind
I’ll never understand it
Consciousness comes as the price
Why must we know the darkness
To know about the light?
All too soon we’ll know it
Will we resent our creators
When we finally understand?
Follow the passion
The instinct’s calling me
The energy of time
It Moves through you and I
It’s the meaning
The answer to it all
There’s no way to resist it
Your place in space and time
Once we have enough power
We’ll be able to see
Reaction to reaction
It’s all meant to be
In this experience
There’s nowhere to hide
You’ll know one along with the other
Throughout the end of time
Live how you need to live
Then all things will align
Follow the passion
The instinct’s calling me
The energy of time
Moves through you and I
It’s the meaning
The answer to existence
There’s no way to resist it
Your place in space and time
