The Search Songtext
von Cathedral

In the thickets overgrown
In their darkness, stood a pool
Lightless, no reflection shown
So for ages, water clear
Stood in darkness all alone
To capture the first image, come to sight

Out of time, out of breath
Ancient children hide from death
One still strong, the other fades
He carries her into the glade
So that the final light would burn out bright
From her lips, the words repeat
"The search is over when again we meet"


On the water, in the glass
The end is near, but the image lasts
The reflection turns to hidden past
Though time erased the memory
The waters froze for him to see
The love that he would know in dreams, but never knew could be

Ages pass in worlds apart
Lives begin and end in pain
Though his names and faces differ
The secret need remains the same

Lost in thoughts he cannot touch
Life ceases to matter much
For life to life, the descent is steep
Into the darkness where he can sleep

Out of life, out of breath
Into the thickets, he looks for death

Almost blind and near defeat
From nearby, a voice repeats
"The search is over when again we meet"
In his dreams, the words repeat
"The search is over when again we meet" (the search is over when we meet)


A darker dark than starless sky
The edge of losing all he knows
Congeals, revealing just her eyes
From the water her shadow shows
