When We Go

Lately I find, when I try to sleep I can't shut off my mind
And sometimes voices call to me clearly at night
Sands of time run faster now, pouring over me
So much so I cannot breathe

'Cause nothing is too much to conceive
Nothing is too much to conceive
Nothing is too much to conceive

When we go, will there be nothing to know?
When we go
And nothing to say?
Nothing to lose?
Nothing to gain?
Nothing to choose?
And nothing to know?
When we go
When we go

Fix your gaze on what comes before
That final breath, that final door
The rescued lives, lover's mesh, the souls wearing their faded flesh
Watching hands that wave and pass you by
Counting down the days until you die
All your dreams and planned escapes withered from the day to day
It's doubtful we'll be looking back
Ahead or up or down
What's lost cannot be found, there's nothing you'll see underground
Once lost you won't be found in peasant rags or royal crown
One cross placed in the ground marks a place for mournful sounds

Of course I could be wrong
If I prayed, I'd pray I am
But to which spirit?
Who would hear if I can only say Amen?

So let's pretend
The light will guide us through that darkest night
And we'll know
When we go
When we go
When we go
When we go
When we go
When we go
When we go
When we go
