Canto IX: The Truth of Eternity

Now I finally see the truth and I know
Why I am where I am
All that I believed in life determined
Why I am where I am

What your mind believes the soul will follow
I thought... therefore I am
All that I believed in life determined
Why I am where I am

I see the truth
I found the truth
I'm just where I imagined I would be
I finally see the truth!

Hey, can anyone alive still hear me
I miss the earth, I miss my life, I miss my family
Now an emptiness and pain overwhelms me
If anyone out there can hear, won't you save me

Where, oh where, have I been?
What have I seen?
The infinite is now my home
Where I wander endlessly alone

If anyone is listening now
I'll tell you the story how
I traveled forth and back through all eternity
If I told you where I've been
And I told you what I've seen
The places and things that fill the heavens

A million miles I've traveled
Through a universe unraveled
To find the truth about eternity

All I imagined is all I received
Just what I figured and what I believed
Now and forever adrift in the light
Or should I journey to realms out of sight?

Here every place that the mind can invent
Realms for the wicked in constant torment
Realms for believers and martyrs and saints
Those who had lived under crushing constraints

A million miles I've traveled
And the universe unraveled
To find the truth about eternity

In the Mysterium I met the Divine
All alone changing water to wine
Since the first seven days He's been fast at rest
All alone save the twelve who passed the test

Well now I've told you where I've been
And I told you what I've seen
The places and things that fill the heavens

A million miles I've traveled
Through a universe unraveled
To find the truth about eternity
Oh, a million miles I've traveled
And the universe unraveled
To find the truth about eternity

I can see the light
Just beyond the mist
Calling out to me

As I soar in flight
A voice I can't resist
Calling out to me

I can feel the light
Pouring over me
Raining down on me

In the Realm of Light
For all eternity
Forever I will be!
