Father of the World Lyrics

Father of the world

Well, be that as it may

Kissed the soul with darkness

That it captures all the day

Mother of the heart

Lover of the harkening

Light the earth with mystery

Both terrible and frightening

Well I raise my glass

To all that's before me

As it all flies past

In terrible glory

But the sweetest taste

As it graces my senses

Is the soft goodbye

You can hear in the ending

Brother at the heart

What are we to say

Give to us desire

And we'll sanctify anyway

Tighten up this wire

We walk into the flames

And fall head over heels

Into a love we can't explain

Well I raise my glass

To all that's before me

As it all flies past

In terrible glory

But the sweetest taste

As it graces my senses

Is the soft goodbye

You can hear in the ending

I raise

To all that's before me

Flies past

In terrible glory

The sweet

As it graces my senses

The song

Well I raise my glass

To all that's before me

As it all flies past

In terrible glory

But the sweetest taste

As it graces my senses

Is the soft goodbye

You can hear in the ending

Is the soft goodbye

You can hear in the ending

Is the soft goodbye
