Intro Gm F
[Verso 1]
Gm Eb Bb5
At last, when all of the world is asleep
Gm
You take in the blackness of air
Eb
The likes of a darkness so deep
Gm
That God at the start couldn't bear
[Verso 2]
Eb Bb5
And sit unseen, with only the inner upheld
Gm
Your reflection can't offer a word

To the bliss of not knowin' yourself
Gm
With all mirrorin' gone from the world
[Verso 3]
Eb Bb5
Still the mind, rejectin' this new empty space
Gm
Fills it with somethin' or someone
Eb
No closer could I be to God
Gm
Or why he would do what he's done

Bhfuilis soranna sorcha
Ach tagais 'nos na hoiche

Trina cheile
Le cheile, claochlaithe

Bhfuilis soranna sorcha
Ach tagais 'nos na hoiche
