then the silence will surround you
Find the day before the dawn
that's the way I've always found you
I have waited for so long
I have gone down echoes of spirits
prophets and mirrors whispering love
I have cried out, counting your heartfalls
can't call god's children back to the sky
I have cried out, over your mountains
over Valhalla into the dark
and the moment I am gone
and the silences surround you
I am darkness before dawn
as I was before I found you
I had waited for so long
I had gone down lifetimes of cold stones
cried for your rivers, cried for your rain
I had loved you before I knew you
would not believe me I love you still
If I leave you, I'll take my mountains
I'll take Valhalla into the dark
in the silences I've known
how a given voice has found you
I have waited for so long
