Universe (3) Lyrics
see me look unveiled when i walk out of the canyon
and see me start to climb at the end of day
but whose there to see me walk out?
theres no beacon, no sun to block out
no bird ablaze
a close dark voice says,
"do you really think there's anybody out there?"
uh hm... uh uh....
so what?
no one sees me
what do i care now the black night has seized me
on a mountains mane
i climb to my claim
and i am aimless, alone, and unraveling
and above barren wastelands stare at me
they know my name
"what do you want?"
and i know i'll be in the air
and that my trail passes lion's lairs
and i see summets buried in more air
buried in space
safe, now there's no end in sight
how many times have i learned this before
how many times have i made up this song before?
how many times have i died up here before?
and ohhhh
how hidden tomorrow morning is
what heavy fog
what wide shadows
universe i know you
and see me start to climb at the end of day
theres no beacon, no sun to block out
no bird ablaze
a close dark voice says,
"do you really think there's anybody out there?"
no one sees me
what do i care now the black night has seized me
on a mountains mane
i climb to my claim
and above barren wastelands stare at me
they know my name
and that my trail passes lion's lairs
and i see summets buried in more air
buried in space
how many times have i made up this song before?
how many times have i died up here before?
how hidden tomorrow morning is
what heavy fog
what wide shadows

Isn't the line at the end "and ohhhh how hidden tomorrow morning is" ...
It makes a lot more sense.
The narrator describes his solitary sisyphean struggle against an uncaring environment and uncertain future, but remains self assured.
do you, really, think, there's any-bo-dy out there? mmmmmmm hmmmmmm (mmm mmmm mmmmm)
that is so beautiful, I wish it happened more than once
