[Verse 1]
I stayed awake last night until it ended
So I could see the ocean opening

In black and deepest crimson of a dim and trembling glow
I walked out on the cold sand towards the wind

[?] never know the feeling of this moment
That reaches everything that can be known

If Charlemagne went off the range and burned his own command
A shadow on the heart of Christendom

[Chorus]
I left my doubts
When I found out

Left it exposed
How deep it goes

[Verse 2]
The water's warmer than I thought it would be
It drew back and my heels sunk in a bit

An ancient birddog suddenly to pierce the shining skin
As sparrows grew to overtake the stars

[Chorus]
What dear[?] rings true
Will wait for you
And if it’s lies
Distrust your eyes

[Chorus]
What here[?] rings true
Will wait for you
And if it's lies
Distrust your eyes
