When the rope of death strangles
And dark waters roar and foam
When fear and trembling hold me
And the slimy grip pulls down
I know you are there
When the pale starlight is fading
And sorrow fills my heart
When dewdrops fall so sweetly
On the green green grass at dawn
I know you are there
I know you are there
I know you are there
When black fish swim ponds of silver
Where jade water lilies grow
When devils dance around me
And the flames of madness grow
I know you are there
When the softly-calling bluebirds
Drift through the lazy clouds
When white owls circle screaming
And gravel fills my mouth
I know you are there
I know you are there
I know you are there
I know you are there
I know you are there
I know you are there
