From a childhood’s hour
I have not been
As others were
I have not seen
As others saw
I could not bring my passions
From a common spring
From the same source
I have not taken
My sorrow
I could not awaken
My heart to joy
At the same tone
And all I loved
I loved alone
Then in my childhood
In the dawn
Of a most stormy life
Was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still
From the torrent, or the fountain
From the red cliff of the mountain
From the sun that round me rolled
In its autumn tint of gold
From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by
From the thunder, and the storm
And the cloud that took the form
When the rest of Heaven was blue
Of a demon in my view

Only the Sea Goes On

Between the waves, I’m going
Vanish without them knowing
I’ve gone
Under the waves there’s silence
Beneath the crash and the violence
Above me
I go down to the water’s edge
Walk in…’til it’s over my head
This world…can't find me there
I can stay there for eternity
Without a care
If there’s fear in your heart
I want to take it away
Listen well
Death is nothing
We come from nowhere
And if we’re lucky
We find joy
As I have found in you
And then we die
And we are not afraid
For we know
Everything dies…except for the sea
Only the sea goes on
It does not remember you or me
Go down…to the water’s edge
Walk in…’til it’s over your head

Triumph

There’s a light inside me
Brighter than the sun
And I know its magic is
Not for everyone
It’s a secret language
Understood by only few
And this secret magic
I trust in you
It may be confusing
‘Cause you don’t have to fight.
It may seem too easy
Because maybe it’s right
You’re always saying
Don’t give into fear
Maybe that’s something
That YOU needed to hear
We’re standing at the edge
And it’s all on the line
But I’ve got a hunch
That it’ll all be fine
In time
There’s a light inside us,
Brighter than the sun.
And I know its magic is
Not for everyone
It’s a secret language
Understood by only few
And this secret magic
I share with you
It may be confusing
‘Cause you don’t have to fight
It may seem too easy
Because maybe it’s right
You’re always saying,
Don’t give into fear
Maybe that’s something
That YOU needed to hear
We’re standing at the edge
With triumph in our view
That’s all I hope for me and you

Autumn…leaves falling down
Winter…cold at my door
I wait for the spring
Wait for the sun
Wait for the light to shine
As I fall asleep
I wait for the light to return to me
Soon as the day is done
I look for the rising sun
And as the sun goes down
I turn to the east
And it is found
Spring time
Flowers in boom
Summer
Sun on my skin
I wait for the fall
Wait for the rain
Wait for the sun to go
I wait for the winter
I wait for the snow
Wait for the days to slow
When will they slow?
As I wake from sleep
I want for the night to return to me
Soon as the night is done
I start wanting for the setting sun
When the darkness has all gone
It’s the night time for which I long
When I look around
Both light and dark are always found

The Future is Au Revoir

I looked in to the future
And all I saw was darkness
How could this be the future?
T’wasn’t like me to see darkness
Then I realized
What was before my eyes
Was nothing
Because that’s what the future brings
If you look into the future
And all you feel is darkness
That’s okay
Because the future is nothing anyway
Don’t be afraid of the darkness
As soon as you realize
The darkness before your eyes
Is open possibility
From that moment on you’ll be free
When you look into the future
Just know the darkness, it won’t hurt you
Don’t be afraid of the darkness that you see
Know that where you stand
You stand beside me
I’m out in the darkness
Waiting for the sun to rise
With you in the darkness
When you see me there don’t be surprised
I’m here in the darkness
Waiting for the sun to rise
Out there in the darkness
When you see me there don’t be surprised
At all

May Our Chambers Be Full
by Emma Ruth Rundle & Thou
supported by 7 fans who also own “CHALANT”
I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately.
