Anathema - We'Re Here Because We'Re Here (2010)
Anathema - We'Re Here Because We'Re Here (2010)
1. Thin Air
Love is free
In time, in peace
And now is here
This life, this dream ...
You know how it feels but... is it all in your mind?
When you know how it feels to be pushed and pulled through your life
And sometimes it seems like there is life in your eyes
And all that I know is I love you
2. Summernight Horizon
In the moonlight
In the moonlight's pale embrace
We come to know the space between us
The space between us
Dreamlight
Dreamlight comes in waves
(the waves within us)
Starlight
Starlight, silent brakes
(It brakes between us)
To know the space within us
The space within us
In blood red skies
Mind takes flight (the sky is falling)
Oceans rise
Worlds collide
To know the space between us
The space between us
Fly
In a dream so high
Feel so alive
The world is like a jewel in your eyes
One life
Feel it
In the moonlight
The moonlight's pale embrace
(embrace the feeling)
There is no space between us
No space between us
In blood red skies
Tears run dry (the sky is falling)
There is no space between us
3. Dreaming Light
4. Everything
Needed time to clear my mind
And breathe the free air find some peace there
I used to keep my heart in jail
But the choice was love or fear of pain and
I...
Chose...
Love...
Cos everything is energy and energy is you and me...
Light shines in through an open window
Shines inside your heart and soul and
Light will guide your way through time
And love will help you heal your mind and
Life...
Will...
Be..
Cos everything is energy and energy is you and me...
6. Presence
One has to come to term us with one's own mortality.
And you can't really help people who are having problems with mortality,
If you've got problems of your own.
So you have to begin to sort things out,
And I thought I had sorted things out until I saw this excerpt from this book,
Of certainty I shall remember what it said:
"Life is not the opposite of death. Death is the opposite of birth. Life is eter
nal."
And I thought that it's the most profound words I have ever heard about that iss
ue and it really put me in peace.
(I felt it was a wonderful story.)
And that's it.
What else is there to say?
Heh.
Life is eternal.
Surely the opposite of life is not the death, but life is eternal.
There is no opposite.
And so, what happens is, I suppose,
(and isn't it a raging or outrageous)
State of pure consciousness, stillness and silence?
Yeah, what we are looking for now,
We are searching for and we have been searching for,
Now we've become closer it and now we know it's already there,
Is there for ever to seek,
It's there,
And it's going be there,
All the time,
Forevermore.
Only you can hear your life
Only you can heal inside
(Life is eternal...)
7. A Simple Mistake
Think for yourself you know what you need in this life
See for yourself and feel your soul come alive tonight
Here in the moment we share, trembling between the worlds we stare
Out at starlight enshrined, veiled like diamonds in...
...time can be the answer, take a chance or lose it all
It's a simple mistake to make to create love and to fall
So rise, be your master, you don't need to be a slave
Of memory ensnared in a web, in a cage
I have found my way to fly free from constraints of time
I have soared through the sky seen life far below in mind
Breathed in truth, love, serene, sailed on OCEANS OF BELIEF
Searched and found life inside, we're not just a moment in...
...time can be the answer, take a chance or lose it all
It's a simple mistake to make to create love and to fall
So rise and be your master, you don't need to be a slave
Of memory ensnared in a web, in a cage
In a web, in a cage
In a web, in a cage
In a web, in a cage
It's never too late [repeat]
[Spoken words from "Defending Middle-Earth Tolkien: Myth and Modernity" by Patri
ck Curry:]
Despair is for people who know, beyond any doubt, what the future is going to br
ing.
Nobody is in that position.
So despair is not only a kind of sin, theologically, but also a simple mistake,
because nobody actually knows.
In that sense there always is hope.
9. Universal
[Instrumental]
[Words spoken behind the instrumental:]
Intangible. Eternal. Without beginning nor end.
The nameless, formless energy that permeates all living things.
That sweeps through nature like a ripple in an ocean,
Sending cascades of timeless wonder through the air,
On the song of a bird, the freshness of the morning air.
A clear calling for our inner nature to awaken beyond our every day lives, and f
ears.
Love is timeless, love is purity.
It is the lightless light, the rays of the sunrise dancing on the surface of the
sea.
Love is you, and love is me.
It is the deepest knowing,
The serenity of being, the laughter of the earth,
The limitless breath of the wind, the wonder of potential,
The power of thought, the gift of life, the highest vibration,
The most profound awareness... the knower.
Life. Love. Infinite. within you. Now. Always.
For it is in love's gentle embrace that we come to know the space between us.
A feeling deep within that not all is what it seems
That we bear witness to a magic as deep as our own,
To a summernight horizon that whispers 'welcome' to your soul.
And in those fleeting, trembling moments that we share between the worlds,
It is enough for us to know that in each other we must care,
For alive and not alone are we the children of the world,
Here to witness time and the unfolding miracle of the soul.
There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer.
There is no disease that enough love cannot heal,
No door that enough love will not open,
No gulf that enough love will not bridge,
And no war that enough love will not throw down.
It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble,
How hopeless the outcome, how muddled the tangle,
How great the mistake.
A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all.
And if you could love enough,
You would be the happiest and most powerful person in the world.
