The Knot





The sky was grey and overcast,
the rain came weeping down
You were sitting by a fireplace that had long been cold
You were sitting there alone, steeped in your own despair
shrouded in your black mood like your cloak
this is how I found you when I came into the room
I knew you wouldn't let me help you,
because you never do
so I tried to help and not to let you know

but one day you will know what I have done

I was sitting in the empty room, before the empty grate,
I was thinking about the things that I had said and done
I knew that I had reached the end of all my roads
and blackness cloaked me over like a shroud
then you came into the room and you looked at me
I knew what you wanted, I knew you came to help
but I will not be helped by anyone

'twas only later that I knew what you had done

Tell me, why did you do that in the empty room?
Why did you decide you want to share my pain?
What made you so ready to drink of my despair?
Did you wish to render me your slave?
You are very much mistaken if you think that this will be
I will not be a toy that you can play with at your ease
I have served, I will not serve again

tell me what your reason is

In that bleak and empty room, I heard your silent cry
and I understood you could not bear the agony
I knew someone had to drink your despair with you
all I wanted was to set you free
I hope that you believe me, I hope you get me right
from that day forevermore your servant I became
I'll be with you until you banish me

and I don't know my reasons

My heart is black like the night
- I want to lead you to the light that you think you have lost
I do not need anyone's compassion
- That is why I am giving it to you
I hate you for making me see how weak I am
- You cannot help loving me now
And the journey is just beginning

and the journey will last forever
