Everything is settled, immovable and calm
|
Nothing that has plagued our lives can ever do us harm
|
Then the voices railed against us, then the path was steep
|
Now the sounds are softer, now the road is ended
|
In your arms, I'll sleep
|
|
Turn away from madness, burn the inner light
|
Pray for me as cheerfully as I slip into the night
|
Death is just a visitor watching for a while
|
Sullen and predictable, love is versatile
|
|
Everything is peaceful, and falling into place
|
I no longer feel the wounds suffered in the chase
|
Then we were at turns divided, then by turns oppressed
|
Now the pain is over, now we lie together
|
Gratefully at rest
|
|
Put aside the notion that the end is near
|
Stay with me eternally, the terrors disappear
|
Death is just a messenger in a poor disguise
|
Fooling no one, lost for words, love is in your eyes
|
|
Now we know as we are known, unimagined things
|
Death is just the messenger, love the truth it brings
|
