THE UNKNOWN

(Words and tune byZan)


Here I am, see me in your crystal,

I wait for you on a snow-crowned hill

Where a lamp leans over a crossroads,

The snow is falling, the air is still,

And I wait for you...


Here I am, follow in my footprints
Around a bend on a rain-washed street,
Where dust and oil make rainbows in the gutters
And garbage gathers around your feet,
I wait for you...


And I am love, I am death,

I am news from over the sea,

I am joy, I am pain,

And you'll never be ready for me...


Here I am, listen for my heartbeat,
Behind a groyne on a sandy shore,
Where the gulls circle in their hundreds
And mix their cries with the ocean's roar,
And I wait for you...

Here I am, track me with your radar
Within the caverns far underground,
Where the lights flicker on the consoles
And terror drowns out the slightest sound,
I wait for you...

And I am war, I am peace,
I am all that's waiting to be,
I am hope, I am fear,
And you'll never, never,

Never be ready for me. Here I am, feel me close beside you,
Here in your bed when the night is still.
They are fools who worship me or fear me,
For I am Future. I have no will.
I just wait for you...
