Veni Domine - Someone Is Knocking Lyrics

[Music / Lyrics by Fredrik Ohlsson]



It's been one day or two

I can't really remember

Watching the world alone

Behind my iron curtain



Waiting for the silence

Protected, safe from violence



Through streets made of stone

Souls cry, dies beyond

Knowledge of the quest

Where grief comes to rest



Poor life spins the thread

Things remain unsaid



Despising my sorrow, this life I have chosen

In fear of what could be



Sometimes I'm aware

Of someone standing close to me

A presence, one caress

Who knows my loneliness



Someone is knocking on my door

Someone is knocking on my door



It's been one day or two

I can't really remember

In hope the masses rise

But who's the hand that guide them



Longing for reliance



This frightened soul of mine

Turns wistful in the sight of grace

The presence, the caress

Will make my heart confess



Someone is knocking on my door

Someone, a serpent from before

Yet someone, the lament for the poor

Just one, will rise and one will fall

Someone is knocking on my door
