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
