"Gods And Monsters" lyrics

Johnny Flynn & Robert Macfarlane Lyrics

"Gods And Monsters"

I thought I'd have to do battle
With gods and monsters
I thought I had to seek prophets
On distant horizons: questions I never have answers
for questions that never have answers

See the lights on the other side
And I'm burning up
The river flows fast and wide
As I cross over

I thought the story had endings
But the path proved hard to find
I thought love had a summit
With a view of all humankind
But the rocks of love come tumbling over me
Questions that never have answers

See the lights on the other side
And I'm burning up
The river flows fast and wide
As I cross over

Journeying far from your orbit
Sent past the end of the earth
Just to feel the place that has called me summoned me
Is right there in your arms, the birth the death
Heaven and hell have a fury unleashed
Questions that never have answers

See the lights on the other side
And I'm burning up
The river flows fast and wide
As I cross over

The story without end
I heard at the end of all time (the beginning)
Closing my eyes with our children in mind
The beginning of love is sublime

And the story without ending
I can see all the way to the distant shore
The story without ending is I love you
I love you
I love you

See the lights on the other side
And I'm burning up
The river flows fast and wide
As I cross over
