Anathema - Presence lyrics
[Anathema - Presence lyrics]
"One has to come to terms
With one's own mortality you know
You can't really help people who
Are having problems with
Mortality if you've got problems of your own
So you have to begin to sort things out
And I thought I had sorted things out until I
Saw this little excerpt from
This book which said
As far as I can remember:
'Life is not the opposite of death
Death is the opposite of birth
Life is eternal'
And I thought that it's the most
Profound words I'd ever heard
About that issue and it really
Put me in peace
I felt this wonderful stillness
And I thought 'That's
It!' what else is there to say?
Life is eternal, so the opposite of life
Is not death, but life is eternal
It has no opposite so, what happens there is
I suppose one just remains in
A state of pure consciousness
Stillness, silence, you know, what
We're looking for now, we're searching
For it, or we have been searching for it
And now we have come closer to it
And it's knowing that it's already there
There's
Nothing to look for, nothing to seek
It's there
And it's going to be there all the time
Forevermore"
Only you can heal your life
Only you can heal inside
"Life is eternal"
With one's own mortality you know
You can't really help people who
Are having problems with
Mortality if you've got problems of your own
So you have to begin to sort things out
And I thought I had sorted things out until I
Saw this little excerpt from
This book which said
As far as I can remember:
'Life is not the opposite of death
Death is the opposite of birth
Life is eternal'
And I thought that it's the most
Profound words I'd ever heard
About that issue and it really
Put me in peace
I felt this wonderful stillness
And I thought 'That's
It!' what else is there to say?
Life is eternal, so the opposite of life
Is not death, but life is eternal
It has no opposite so, what happens there is

We're looking for now, we're searching
For it, or we have been searching for it
And now we have come closer to it

And it's going to be there all the time

Only you can heal your life
Only you can heal inside
"Life is eternal"
