L'Âme Immortelle - The Immortal Part lyrics

When I meet the morning beam Or lay me down at night to dream, I hear my bones within me say Another night, another day Wanderers eastward, wanderers west, Know you why you cannot rest 'Tis that every mother's son Travails with a skeleton When shall this slough of sense be cast, This dust of thoughts be laid at last The man of flesh and soul be slain And the man of bone remain Lie down in the bed of dust; Bear the fruit that bear you must Bring the eternal seed to light And morn is all the same as night This tongue that talks, these lungs that shout These thews that hustle us about This brain that fills the skull with schemes And its humming hive of dreams, Rest you so from trouble sore, Fear the heat o' the son no more Nor the snowing winter wild Now you labour not with child These today are proud in power And lord it in their little hour The immortal bones obey control Of dying flesh and dying soul. Empty vessel, garment cast We that wore you long shall last Another night, another day So my bones within me say This long till eve and morn are gone: Slow the endless night comes on And late to fullness growns the birth That shall last as long as earth
