Sunless Rise

Verse 1a

Any misfortune you call haphazard,

You do not see real reasons,

You suppose this world big clutter.

Verse 1b

Try for size every bit of passing things,

And you'll see that everything has cause.

Verse 1c

Everything you do will come back,

To be able to see causal effect

You should put together facts.

Chorus 1

One can develop only on grasping any and all

And at the end of path

I am about to meet

This sunless rise.

Verse 2a

I've suddenly caught sight of light

On coming nearer I've seen a stream

With water bubbling up despite the chill.

Verse 2b

I couldn't help desiring to drink

This shining frozen water

I've sipped out of my hands

Verse 2c (mod.)

4 Harshly light and might have filled me up.

It seems as if I've awoken from sound sleep

As If I've never lived before.

Chorus 2

One can develop only on grasping any and all

And at the end of path

I meet this sunless rise

This bright ascent of soul.
