Riddle Of Eternity Lyrics - Spiritual Wasteland - Veni Domine

I stand and watch the sea 

The storm is watching me 

I know the end is near 

Yet I don't feel the fear 

I see the face of an ancient king 

I stand and close my eyes 

As the world hears my sighs 

My friends, now enemies 

My case is clear to see 

The storm that came this day was no surprise 

The book of life revealed before my eyes 

Alone I stand when all is gone 

Riddle of eternity 

Alone I stand, it's the sign of the times 

Alone I stand when all is gone 

Riddle of eternity 

I stand and hear what's said 

I see one shake his head 

He's not wearing a crown 

So I watch him drown 

His fall, a thorn in my side, I cry 

What would you do 

If your eyes grew darkened 

For what you had chosen to see 

If you knew what would happen 

Wich sights would you chose 

Or just say it can't happen to me 

Is it that we live in a dream 

'Cause the real world is too frightening to see 

Is the price too high to pay today 

So we'll wait 'till tomorrow 

To see if we can barter us free 

So we sleep like a child 

So we sleep like a child 

So we sleep
