Lyrics
[VERSE 1]
[SPOKEN WORD]
To go in the dark
with a light
is to know the light.
To know the dark,
go dark.
Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too,
blooms and sings,
and is traveled by,
dark feet and dark wings.
[CHORUS 1]
Be still, and wait without hope.
For hope would be hope for the wrong thing; Have self-will, and wait without love.
For love would be love for the wrong thing; There is yet faith.
But the faith and the love and the hope,
are all in the waiting.
Wait without thought,
So the darkness shall be the light,
and the stillness the dancing....
[Guitar Solo]
[VERSE 2]
In order to arrive at what you do not know
You must go by a way which is the way of ignorance.
In order to possess what you do not possess You must go by the way of dispossession.
In order to arrive at what you are not
You must go through the way in which you are not.
[VERSE 3]
And what you do not know is the only thing you know.
And what you own is what you do not own.
And where you are is where you are not.
[Guitar Solo]
[VERSE 4]
Mystery and manifestation,
arise from the same source -
Darkness within darkness,
the way to all comprehension.
[CHORUS 2]
Be still, and wait without hope.
For hope would be hope for the wrong thing;
Have self-will, and wait without love.
For love would be love for the wrong thing;
There is yet faith.
But the faith and the love and the hope,
are all in the waiting.
Wait without thought,
So the darkness shall be the light,
and the stillness the dancing.
[VERSE 5]
And what you do not know is the only thing you know.
And what you own is what you do not own.
And where you are is where you are not.
[VERSE 6]
Black is the beginning of consciousness—
you cannot have light without darkness
or darkness without light.
[END]
