De Profundis

The beauty and the savagery of Nature.

De Profundis (George Olsen 2005)

They say I'm rather nonchalant
When I wonder what's the fuss
Take a side, tow the line
Just be more like us

They say I sold my soul
And they wonder what was the price
Like Wilde's Dorian Gray
They try to guess my vice

Chorus
And I've been old for a long time now
Though it doesn't really show on my face
Except sometimes when I laugh or frown
At this pageant taking place..

They say I lack compassion
And that I stand to judge
As I gaze at the whims of fortune
And still don't say too much

On the role of Prince or Pauper
Or the Sinner and the Saint
Who's the Loser or the Winner
I should give voice to my complaint

Chorus repeat

But the secret is no secret
Just a sound whispered in my ear
The sound inside Infinity
Sometimes muffled, sometimes clear

And it hasn't always been easy
To listen to what I hear
For the Voice of Eternity
Is beyond Faith and Fear

Chorus repeat

And fade..
