Appalachian Winter - All Begins Now Lyrics

In the beginning, all was void and without form
And the cosmos was but a mote upon the face of the deep
An unknown grain of sand upon some distant shore
Once could have shamed the cosmos
And a fleck of dust floating in a sunbeam
Could once have known greater breadth and reach
For a water drop once could have carried the cosmos
Into the sea to be lost forever

And so it was, but all begins now
From our initial cause to our aftermath
Let it be reverence to look upon the sky
Knowing it once might have hidden under a pebble
From the sharpest of gazes
But all begins now, for now; forever

Distance and time; here and now
Is forever where all begins
And forever from the first cause

All begins now, from first cause to final darkness
For even the cosmos will know final sleep
All begins now, from that first mote
Exploding into a greatness beyond the dreams of gods
