Story Behind the Song
This song is about a something that exists only to not exist at all. The things that are important to it have left it and it wanders to find it's place in the scheme of things.
Lyrics
THE THING THAT NEVER WAS
Born of all the anger and born of all the hate
Child of all the nothing it was never born to take
And it was not an angel,
And it was not from hell,
But it was never ever was
And it would never be
Wakened by the nightmare’s call
Surrounded by the distance closing fast
Among the trees it waits
For something, someone, nothing, no one
And the rain from the stars
Would always caress it.
But deep inside the hate would grow,
Would bloom, would rise, would flower
And the moon will rise
And the sun will fall
And the thing cannot be there
For it never was
Through the mist it rides
Building hatred’s wall
Taking pain from their pleasure
That it never was, ever was.
Exposed in a shadow’s glare
A tremor in a wind that never blew
A whisper in a cloud of storms across a clear blue sky
But the hate always burns
From somewhere within it
And the tears that never fall
Will soak the ground it never walked on.
And the moon will rise
And the sun will fall
And the thing cannot be there
For it never was
When the worlds collide
And the fate’s desire
It becomes another nothing
Like it never was, Ever was
And the moon will rise
And the sun will fall
And the thing cannot be there for it never was
Through the spider’s web
Into pools of wine
Staring back at the reflections that it never was.
