Jorjato - We Stand Before A Veiled Design

Lyrics : Old tongues once named the edge of night, where sight grows thin and fails the light. Beyond the reach of breath and bone, vast workings turn, unknown, alone. The stars were thought as distant fire, yet move in ways no mind acquires. Their silent paths, their hidden art, outpace the language of the heart. We stand before a veiled design, and call it sky, and call it time. But what it is, we cannot claim— only circle round its name. No hand has traced what lies beyond the closing breath, the severed bond. What leaves the frame is never seen, yet something lingers in between. The dark does not remain as void, but folds itself, alive, employed. In patterns vast, in depths concealed, where nothing known is ever sealed. Understanding breaks in waves, on shores no thought was meant to brave. Each answer thins before it stays, and turns to doubt in quiet ways. We stand before a veiled design, and call it sky, and call it time. But what it is, we cannot claim— only circle round its name. So all that lives is held within a fragile reach of sense and skin. While far beyond what thought can bind, immense designs outgrow the mind. And death remains a silent door, not end, not start—something far more. A turning no one can perceive, yet something all must one day leave. We stand before a veiled design, and call it sky, and call it time. But what it is, we cannot claim— only circle round its name.
