Anathema - Internal Landscapes lyrics

"And I felt myself going i was in a great
Deal of pain, it was
A very frightening experience
But I began to
Slip i just sort of, feel myself going
And I remember
Trying to hold on "I’ll be ok, I’ll be ok"
And it got to the point where I just
Couldn't and everything began to
Just become very
Quiet and I can remember with
Every ounce of strength I had I
Wanted to say 'goodbye' to my
Wife, it was important to me and I did
I remember just turning
My head, looking at her and saying
'I'm gonna die, goodbye Joan', and I did
It was then that I experienced
Experienced what we call a near death
Experience for me there was
Nothing near about it, it was there it was
A total immersion in light
Brightness, warmth, peace
Security i did not have
An out-of-body experience
I did not see my body or anyone about
Me i just immediately went
Into this beautiful
Bright light it's difficult to describe
Matter of fact it’s
Impossible to describe verbally it
Cannot be expressed
It’s something which becomes you
And you become it
I could say that I was peace, I was love
I was the brightness and it was part of me"

Goodbye my friend love will never end

And I feel like you and I breathe all truth

Love is the lifebreath of all I see
Love is the truelight inside of me

And I know you somehow
As I hold you in my heart

In my heart

There's a fire in the sky

And I know it's you

(Senses following me)

There's a light that's so bright
And I know it's you

And I dream like you and I believe in truth

For I was always there
And I will always be there

"And it’s just so beautiful it
Was eternity it’s like I
Was always there and I will always be there
That my existence on earth was just
A very brief instant i
Could say that I was peace, I was love
I was the brightness and it was part of me"
