What went down on the side of the road?
What I saw at the edge of the sea
Only those elements time cannot wear
And they follow
What seeped out throughout the cracks in time
What sucks out the color in me?
What awaits beyond infinity?
Beyond and to all time I stand
Beyond and to all time I stand
What blew in with the great gale?
What weighed down the falling leaves?
What came forth from the remains?
What has always lived and gone unseen?
What has caused the night to fall?
Who speaks of eternity?
Who awakes to night eternally?
Beyond and to all time I stand
Beyond and to all time I stand
Beyond and to all time I stand
Beyond and to all time I stand, I stand, I stand
De profundis clamavi (Baudelaire)
"O my sole love, I pray thee pity me
From out this dark gulf where my poor heart lies
A barren world hemmed in by leaden skies
Where horror flies at night, and blasphemy
For half the year the sickly sun is seen
The other half thick night lies on the land
A country bleaker than the polar strand;
No beasts, no brooks, nor any shred of green
There never was a horror which surpassed
This icy sun's cold cruelty, and this vast
Night like primeval Chaos; would I were
Like the dumb brutes, who in a secret lair
Lie wrapt in stupid slumber for a space...
Time creeps at so burdensome a pace"
Beyond and to all time I stand
Beyond and to all time I stand
Beyond and to all time I stand
Beyond and to all time I stand, I stand, I stand
What I saw at the edge of the sea
Only those elements time cannot wear
And they follow
What seeped out throughout the cracks in time
What sucks out the color in me?
What awaits beyond infinity?
Beyond and to all time I stand
Beyond and to all time I stand
What blew in with the great gale?
What weighed down the falling leaves?
What came forth from the remains?
What has always lived and gone unseen?
What has caused the night to fall?
Who speaks of eternity?
Who awakes to night eternally?
Beyond and to all time I stand
Beyond and to all time I stand
Beyond and to all time I stand
Beyond and to all time I stand, I stand, I stand
