When all the worlds are lost in snow
I have to move this meaning through
Disperse the force so far engendered
All near the steam and summer view
And then... remain
Where steeples crash in fire and thunder
Where sheets of steel obscure the land
Where word and sense are torn asunder
Here was the place I chose to stand
Just when I think I'm going under
I... remain
Well all the waves of spin are foaming
And fake muezzin steam and brew
Formed in the fire of all their belongings
This is the weight I took you through
Just when I think I'm going under
This is the way I thought it through
This is the way I took you under
I have to move this meaning through
Disperse the force so far engendered
All near the steam and summer view
And then... remain
Where sheets of steel obscure the land
Where word and sense are torn asunder
Here was the place I chose to stand
Just when I think I'm going under
I... remain
And fake muezzin steam and brew
Formed in the fire of all their belongings
This is the weight I took you through
Just when I think I'm going under
This is the way I thought it through
This is the way I took you under

I think maybe it's "and there... remain".
but I'm glad someone wrote this one up, I like it a lot. the swishy percussion is very strange, very interesting.
I'm not sure what he is getting at here, but I think I've felt it before
Yeah, with this album Eno tried to create a balance between music and lyrics. I'm not quite sure what this means myself, though but I think it's trying to describe redemption:
"Where steeples crash in fire and thunder, Where sheets of steel obscure the land, Where word and sense are torn asunder: Here was the place I chose to stand. Just when I think I'm going under, I... remain"
"This is the way I thought it through; This is the way I took it under... "
