Darkest Hour The Light At The End Of The World Lyrics

The Light At The End Of The World Lyrics

After the torchlight red on sweaty faces   

After the frosty silence in
the gardens   

After the agony in stony places   

The shouting and
the crying 

Prison and palace and reverberation   

Of thunder of
spring over distant mountains   

He who was living is now dead   

We who were living are now dying   

With little patience 



Here is no water but only rock   

Rock and no water and the sandy road 
 

The road winding above among the mountains   

Which are mountains
of rock without water   

If there were water we should stop and drink

Amongst the rock one cannot stop or think   

Sweat is dry and feet are
in the sand   

If there were only water amongst the rock   

Dead
mountain mouth of carious teeth that cannot spit   

Here one can neither
stand nor lie nor sit

There is not even silence in the mountains   

But dry sterile thunder without rain
