The Turning Songtext

von Ethan Johns

Time has left us standin'
Caught like sculpture in a moment in the fading sun
And the weather wears our faces down to nothin'
Just like we were when it all first began
And the stars will trace new shapes across an endless sky
Like jewels cut by a monster's hand
Piercing the darkness
Like a hopeful thought cast far and wide for all to understand
We all know the future and the future knows us all
And everyone and everything must fall
The silence will be beautiful
The silence will be beautiful
As I lay dreamin' on the mountainside
The empty heads philosophize to serve their ends
While a darkness with the weight of used up suns
Is descending right above our heads
The wheel to which we're bound begins to shutter
From the rattle of our final breath
It's in this moment's final peace
Before the note rings out and wakes us to begin again
'Cause we all know the future and the future knows us all
And everyone and everything must fall
The silence will be beautiful
The silence will be beautiful
And we all know the future and the future knows us all
And everyone and everything must fall
The silence will be beautiful
The silence will be beautiful
The silence will be beautiful
The silence will be beautiful
