Veni Domine - Riddle Of Eternity Lyrics

[Music / Lyrics by Torbjærn Weinesjæ]



I stand and watch the sea

The storm is watching me

I know the end is near

Yet I don't feel the fear



I see the face of an ancient king



I stand and close my eyes

As the world hears my sighs

My friends, now enemies

My case is clear to see



The storm that came this day was no surprise

The book of life revealed before my eyes



Alone I stand when all is gone

Riddle of eternity

Alone I stand, it's the sign of the times

Alone I stand when all is gone

Riddle of eternity



I stand and hear what's said

I see one shake his head

He's not wearing a crown

So I watch him drown



His fall, a thorn in my side, I cry



What would you do

If your eyes grew darkened

For what you had chosen to see

If you knew what would happen

Wich sights would you chose

Or just say it can't happen to me

Is it that we live in a dream

'Cause the real world is too frightening to see

Is the price too high to pay today

So we'll wait 'till tomorrow

To see if we can barter us free



So we sleep like a child

So we sleep like a child

So we sleep
