Anathema - We're Here Because We're Here | ||||
| ||||
1. Thin Air Love is free In time, in peace And now is here This life, this dream ... You know how it feels but... is it all in your mind? When you know how it feels to be pushed and pulled through your life And sometimes it seems like there is life in your eyes And all that I know is I love you Yes I love you And it feels like we're already flying But the air is too thin and we're dying The clouds all around take us higher The world far below is on fire I hold out my hand just to touch you And all that I know is I love you A vision a promise of heaven A reason for being forever You're just a whisper away We've come too far to turn back This is where we stand and face it This is who we are, one step closer Into thin air we will go there We've come too far to turn back This is where we stand and face it I feel you breathe You're just a whisper away We've come too far to turn back This is where we stand and face it This is who we are one step close Into thin air we will go there We've come too far ... This is where we stand ... 2. Summernight Horizon In the moonlight In the moonlight's pale embrace We come to know the space between us The space between us Dreamlight Dreamlight comes in waves (the waves within us) Starlight Starlight, silent brakes (It brakes between us) To know the space within us The space within us In blood red skies Mind takes flight (the sky is falling) Oceans rise Worlds collide To know the space between us The space between us Fly In a dream so high Feel so alive The world is like a jewel in your eyes One life Feel it In the moonlight The moonlight's pale embrace (embrace the feeling) There is no space between us No space between us In blood red skies Tears run dry (the sky is falling) There is no space between us 3. Dreaming Light Suddenly... life has new meaning Suddenly... feeling is being Suddenly... I don't have to be afraid Suddenly... All falls into place And you shine inside And love stills my mind like the sunrise Dreaming light of the sunrise And you shine inside And love stills my mind like the sunrise Dreaming light of the sunrise Dreaming light and ... I feel you but I don't really know you I dreamed of you from the moment I saw you And I've seen the sunrise in your eyes The sky... the sea... the light So live your dream beneath the northern horizon Be at peace, set your heart in flight again For the light is truth... The light is you... 4. Everything Needed time to clear my mind And breathe the free air find some peace there I used to keep my heart in jail But the choice was love or fear of pain and I... Chose... Love... Cos everything is energy and energy is you and me... Light shines in through an open window Shines inside your heart and soul and Light will guide your way through time And love will help you heal your mind and Life... Will... Be.. Cos everything is energy and energy is you and me... 5. Angels Walk Among Us (only you can heal inside, Only you can heal your life) It must have been an angel Who counted out the time Yes it must have been an angel Who raised a knowing smile And I just couldn't reach you No matter how I tried No I just couldn't reach you So instead I ran to hide (only you can heal inside, Only you can heal your life) Mother can you hear me? Can you tell me, are you there? Father can you help me? Cos I know that you care And I don't have to fight it anymore For all those years I was dreaming And I don't have to worry anymore Cos I found my belief in... Mother can you hear me? Can you tell me are you there? Father can you help me? Cos I know that you care (only you can heal inside, Only you can heal your life) 6. Presence One has to come to term us with one's own mortality. And you can't really help people who are having problems with mortality, If you've got problems of your own. So you have to begin to sort things out, And I thought I had sorted things out until I saw this excerpt from this book, Of certainty I shall remember what it said: "Life is not the opposite of death. Death is the opposite of birth. Life is eternal." And I thought that it's the most profound words I have ever heard about that issue and it really put me in peace. (I felt it was a wonderful story.) And that's it. What else is there to say? Heh. Life is eternal. Surely the opposite of life is not the death, but life is eternal. There is no opposite. And so, what happens is, I suppose, (and isn't it a raging or outrageous) State of pure consciousness, stillness and silence? Yeah, what we are looking for now, We are searching for and we have been searching for, Now we've become closer it and now we know it's already there, Is there for ever to seek, It's there, And it's going be there, All the time, Forevermore. Only you can hear your life Only you can heal inside (Life is eternal...) 7. A Simple Mistake Think for yourself you know what you need in this life See for yourself and feel your soul come alive tonight Here in the moment we share, trembling between the worlds we stare Out at starlight enshrined, veiled like diamonds in.. ...time could be the answer, take a chance or lose it all It's a simple mistake to make to create love and to fall So rise and be your master you don't need to be a slave Of memory ensnared in a web, in a cage I have found my way to fly free from the constraints of time I have soared through the sky seen life far below in mind Breathed in truth, love, serene, sailed on OCEANS OF BELIEF Searched and found life inside, we're not just a moment in time... ...Could be the answer, take a chance or lose it all It's a simple mistake to make to create love and to fall So rise and be your master you don't need to be a slave Of memory ensnared in a web, in a cage [spoken words from "Defending Middle-Earth Tolkien: Myth and Modernity" by Patrick Curry:] Despair is for people who know, beyond any doubt, what the future is going to bring. Nobody is in that position. So despair is not only a kind of sin, theologically, but also a simple mistake, because nobody actually knows. In that sense there always is hope. 8. Get Off, Get Out I know it feel it flow I see it grow, I see you low Hello, too low...? I know to feel it more To feel it more, feel it more Than more... I feel it more to feel it more It ain't about yourself get out of yourself Push it on out of yourself right out of sight You got a big surprise coming your way Push it on all out, move it Push it.Push it It ain't about yourself get out of yourself Go check it out It's coming... 9. Universal Above the clouds We flew to heaven Through the eye of the storm And into to the light I see you You're everywhere I go In everything I do I dreamed a thousand years Just to be here where everything is right Scrape those screamless skies Defy the limits and fly I see you You're everywhere I go In everything I do I see you You're everywhere I go In everything I do 10. Hindsight [Instrumental] [Words spoken behind the instrumental:] Intangible. Eternal. Without beginning nor end. The nameless, formless energy that permeates all living things. That sweeps through nature like a ripple in an ocean, Sending cascades of timeless wonder through the air, On the song of a bird, the freshness of the morning air. A clear calling for our inner nature to awaken beyond our every day lives, and fears. Love is timeless, love is purity. It is the lightless light, the rays of the sunrise dancing on the surface of the sea. Love is you, and love is me. It is the deepest knowing, The serenity of being, the laughter of the earth, The limitless breath of the wind, the wonder of potential, The power of thought, the gift of life, the highest vibration, The most profound awareness... the knower. Life. Love. Infinite. within you. Now. Always. For it is in love's gentle embrace that we come to know the space between us. A feeling deep within that not all is what it seems That we bear witness to a magic as deep as our own, To a summernight horizon that whispers 'welcome' to your soul. And in those fleeting, trembling moments that we share between the worlds, It is enough for us to know that in each other we must care, For alive and not alone are we the children of the world, Here to witness time and the unfolding miracle of the soul. There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer. There is no disease that enough love cannot heal, No door that enough love will not open, No gulf that enough love will not bridge, And no war that enough love will not throw down. It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble, How hopeless the outcome, how muddled the tangle, How great the mistake. A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all. And if you could love enough, You would be the happiest and most powerful person in the world. Lyrics in plain text format |
