lyrics

In the beginning was the word
A name unspoken and unknown
We are but beasts that walk the earth
In wretched ignorance we go

So raise your empty hands up high
And say a prayer you will be found
Within the arms of some sweet by-and-by
Before you go beneath the ground

For all the years of my life
What do I have to show
With every breath we are dying
We are already ghosts

Now all the dark clouds gather round
And our way is rough and steep
Will there be room for me by your side
Or have I fallen too far beneath

For all the years of my life
What do I have to show
With every breath we are dying
We are already ghosts

There is no place I am heading
I have not already been
The path of all creation
Is quickly crumbling

If god himself should tell me
Every secret he knows
It won't make heaven above me
We are already ghosts
