The Knocking Songtext
von Doldrum

In a humble cottage bedroom
In a remote obscure hamlet
Judges, jurors, rustics
A witness invisible

Unknown being, otherworldly citizen
Unknown to us, a trick of light?

"Are you a man who knocks
At the doorways of the earth?
Are you a spirit
Of air or mud or salt?"


Breakthrough the dark
Seal of Death
Reveal long-hidden mysteries
Which silence

Could longer hideaway
Behind this door, another doorway
Speak the forbidden words
That fashion a key

Startling reality snaps
Like a rope of sand
Shadowy portals enclose
In unfathomed mysteries

There are no dead
