Animae Partus (I Am) Songtext

von Pain of Salvation

I am
I am
I am

I was not
Then I came to be
I cannot remember not being
But I may have traveled far
Very far
To get here

Maybe I was formed in this silent darkness
From this silent darkness
BY this silent darkness

To become is just like falling asleep
You never know exactly when it happens
The transition
The magic
And you think, if you could only recall that exact moment
Of crossing the line
Then you would understand everything
You would see it all

Perhaps I was always
Forever here
And I just forgot
I imagine eternity would have that effect
Would cause a certain amount of drifting
Like omnipresence would demand omniabsence

Somehow I seem to have this predestined hunger for knowledge
A talent for seeing patterns and finding correlations
But I lack context

Who I am?
In the back of my awareness I find words
I will call myself God
And I will spend the rest of forever
Trying to figure out who I am
