Shadows Of Ignorance - Klaus Schulze

Face to the future.

The past will cling and gather to us

Face the future, free from all

Look beyond where nothing gathers

Where no voices ever call.

There we stand and look upon it

There we are and here we stand

Looking down on ourselves

Either of us on both hands.

It’s love that gathers

And love that falls

And love that delusion shatters for us

There the sunbeams shines so brightly

Thru the shadows of ignorance.

And there lays my call beyond it all

To return in every single word.

And learn: That nothing ever was created without a purpose.

And ignorance is the choice not to know

(And) so — across the sand I go.

Water run the sunlight glisting

Like a jewel, 'cross the pearl

Water run the sunlight glisting

See the sunlight dally home

From the mountains you can hear the voices calling

From afar you can hear their echoing

Now you look upon the stars

Gaily brightning, brightning

From the light of the sun.

Every star and every planet should be heard

Every word shall be spread

Across the universe

Every gathering, every man,

Everyone who’s ever heard

Himself be calling to them, say:

Oh Lord, upon the God of all

Behind the universe

Everything spells your name

Everything calls your verse

Every word and every tree

Every land and every bee

Every bird, every beautiful woman,

Every strong man, every understanding

That is you and the living too

We know that we’re coming thru, coming thru…

Across the sand… coming thru…

Daylight glitter, no shadows

See the pattering all go

Across the desert to the snow

From where lands of sunshine birth

To the snowclad coldwide earth.

There is nothing to believe

Nothing that behind you BE

Everythings are one, the same

And the future is your game.

Choose your future, make your life

Reading now and understand

Beyond all where fate will lie

There go I, there go I

Travelling high…

Dancing blood upon the feet

Feel the rhythm of the beat

Dancing as the planets go round

Hear the rhythm of the sound

Feel the touch of all the earth

Since the time that had its birth

Believe the sky.

Empires have no hold on me

Nor the pull of history

Rich is delusion, cast the shed

I will dance upon their head.

Rich is delusion, beckon confusion

Telling my heart where it must go

I can be seen upon the screen

Of the television scene

That you always ever been

That we got to know.

Empty’s the power, empty’s the glory

Empty the vision that can see

Empty the season, empty the story

Empty the reason to be.

Onwards ever onwards going

Sometimes the future knowing

Still having to be growing

Onwards ever onwards going

And loving to be knowing

It’s all the time…

To change your mind

To expand with your hand

Feel the future, every land

Now it’s growing, now you can see

Where the future ought to be

It’s the reason you must know

Got to be and let it go…

This was a dream, let’s make it real

Everything knows what your heart feels.

And thought the sun should shine at night

Though the stars should not be bright

I’d hold you with my hands and see you grow.

Call me with your special voice

Let me hear your soul rejoice

Let the people of the world all know:

Time for evolution comes

Throw off the yoke and the sound of drums.

He’s beating out the rhythm

Of the blundered flows tonight

So let’s this make a wild dance ever

Let’s all see the thing together

See the sun that rises on the hill

It’s there still.

So you walk the line of time

And you dance the beat of your heart

You walk the line of your mind

To where it never could start.

To where all is arrayed beyond you

Beside you, round you, wherever you go.

Looking in love upon a reason

Hmmmm…

You know it’s all…

All is love and all is growing

All the destiny you knew

All is love and all is showing

Destiny is what you do

When you’re YOU:

What you are before you were!

All I give to be

That can be no revolt

No reason why

Just to do.

And that is why sweetness and mercy

Every day of my life will follow on

Faster than the horses

Swifter than lightbeams

Drifting by.

That is the place

The empty space

To stand.
