Song Lyrics

Look up through the night maybe you'll see a sign
Every constellation is a message in time
Messengers approaching in a voyaging shine
Harbingers a-travelling frozen in line
Reaching out a signal from the past unwinds
All these billion "Light years" have we all been blind
What we're looking for is what we could never find
Not everything we need to see is here in our minds but it gathers in me
'Cause it matters to me so it gathers

Knock on the sky and listen the sound
The echo it hides can never be found
Seeking is not always the way to find
Stepping forward leaves phantoms behind
If you think you're free there is no escape
Pretending to sleep you'll never awake
Money only makes seem misery better
Walk in the rain you'll only get wetter
Don't think what to act just act out the thought
The things we all need can never be bought

Dying to live or living to die
You will see more with no plank in your eye
Afraid of the dark, afraid of the light
Chasing two hares catch neither you might
What would we do if we knew we won't fail
Talk of the devil and you'll see his tail
Those who can't shine will try and confuse
But risking nothing is worse than to lose
and that matters to me

So look up through the night maybe you'll see a sign
'Cause every constellation is a message in time
Messengers approaching in a voyaging shine
Harbingers a-travelling frozen in line
Reaching out a signal as the past unwinds
All these billion "Light years" we've been waiting blind
What we're looking for is what we could never find
'Cause everything we need to see is here in our minds and it gathers in me

When the light's off you won't find the switch
You can stand pain but never an itch
To reach any goal you have to aim higher
In which we all burn time is the fire
Speed of time is one second per second
But speed of dark yet nobody has reckoned
Corruption's power and power corrupts
Only with true love jealousy erupts
though it flatters you grieve

Forgetting to laugh or laugh to forget
Inviting trouble will be quick to accept
No need to explain true friends never need it
Those who don't doubt you, would never believe it
If you surrender to the wind you won't ride it
Some lose their true self and some try and hide it
Promise only what you're sure you'll deliver
Burn your timbers and you'll drown in your river
It gathers you see

So look up through the night maybe you'll see a sign
'Cause every constellation is a message in time
Messengers approaching in a voyaging shine
Harbingers a-travelling frozen in line
Reaching out a signal as the past unwinds
All these billion "light years" we've been waiting blind
What we're looking for is what we could never find
Is everything we need to see right here in our minds does it matter you'll see

If you think you're wiser you're a fool to reveal it
When you have all you need you still never feel it
A glow illuminates but glare can obscure
Nothing is certain of that we are sure
Patience will only waste your time even more
There's nowhere left to fall when you've hit the floor
Endure what you must before ashes to dust
Weapons of war in peace may they rust
No mad-hatters do we need

War doesn't resolve who's right but who's left
Easiest to fool is always yourself
Don't look where you fell just find where you slipped
Can't use your compass if your sails are all ripped
To best predict your future best to create it
The only way makes sure you won't live to hate it
Knowledge isn't wisdom, that's where they all fall, 'Cause
Knowing you know nothing, is the smartest of all
Doesn't matter you see

So look up through the night maybe you'll see a sign
'Cause every constellation is a message in time
Messengers approaching in a voyaging shine
Harbingers a-travelling frozen in line
Reaching out a signal as the past unwinds
all these billion "light years" we've been waiting blind
What we're looking for is what we could never find
Not everything we need to see is here in our minds but it gathers in me

Yes it gathers it gathers, in me
'Cause it matters, yes it matters in me
It'll gather if it matters in you
