lyrics

The north wind blows the witch's hair on a desert plateau
Rain pours from rooftops into crevices unknown
And the ocean rocks the island
Where the disciple reads his notes
In a castle on the Irish coast a nun prays until she floats
And charcoal clouds are gathering devouring the stars
The winds dance and crash into the trees
The end of time is nigh
The end of light and dark
The twilight of the gods called you and me
We call you and me
In a mountain monastery, trapped beneath the snow
Like a solitary satellite lost in the unknown
A saint lies dying, surrounded by his monks
He says I spent many lifetimes
Thinking it never was enough
Well now it is
Now it is
Now it is
Now it is
Now it is
Now it is
Does everything you love get swept away
Is there nothing you can do to make them stay
It's an insubstantial universe
Your grasping in the dark
And then you die
And go back to the start
But there is hope in surrender
To the mystery
You embrace what you really are
And expand infinitely
And go through the open door
You'll go through the open door
Yeah, go through the open door
