The Solid Black Beyond - Therion

'Cause I don’t know what to say

Where are you — the new tomorrow

Deep in the maze of yesterday?

My starless night may never come to fruit

I will not kneel or plead forgiveness

You turn away, gone from my heart

So — why God, should you pity me my lord

As I’m bound for darkness

You’re not risen from your grave

The solid black beyond

To go where light cannot

Nazarene, that shall be my fate

I am your father and you are my beloved son

Why do you seek the other one?

The crucified one?

He’s not you

Receive my power;

I ask nothing in return

My lord — I will open up the gate

I’m the one and only now who can save us

I come in my father’s name for peace
