Lyrics to De Selby (Part 1)
At last, when all of the world is asleep
You take in the blackness of air
The likes of a darkness so deep
That God at the start couldn’t bear
And sit unseen, with only the inner upheld
Your reflection can't offer a word
To the bliss of not knowin' yourself
With all mirrorin' gone from the world
Still the mind, rejectin' this new empty space
Fills it with somethin' or someone
No closer could I be to God
Or why he would do what he's done
Bhfuilis soranna sorcha
Ach tagais 'nós na hoíche
Trína chéile; le chéile
Bhfuilis soranna sorcha
Claochlaithe is claochlú an ealaín
Is ealaín dubh í
Bhfuilis soranna sorcha
Ach tagais 'nós na hoíche
Trína chéilе; le chéile
Bhfuilis soranna sorcha
Claochlaithe is claochlú an еalaín
Is ealaín dubh í
You take in the blackness of air
The likes of a darkness so deep
That God at the start couldn’t bear
And sit unseen, with only the inner upheld
Your reflection can't offer a word
To the bliss of not knowin' yourself
With all mirrorin' gone from the world
Still the mind, rejectin' this new empty space
Fills it with somethin' or someone
No closer could I be to God
Or why he would do what he's done
Bhfuilis soranna sorcha
Ach tagais 'nós na hoíche
Trína chéile; le chéile
Bhfuilis soranna sorcha
Claochlaithe is claochlú an ealaín
Is ealaín dubh í
Bhfuilis soranna sorcha
Ach tagais 'nós na hoíche
Trína chéilе; le chéile
Bhfuilis soranna sorcha
Claochlaithe is claochlú an еalaín
Is ealaín dubh í
