Sufjan Stevens – The Ascension

Sufjan Stevens – The Ascension Lyrics

Artist: Sufjan Stevens
Song: The Ascension

When I am dead and the light leaves my breast
Nothing to be told, nothing to confess
Let the record show what I couldn’t quite confess
For by living for myself I was living for unrest

Then the evidence came back
In a chariot of vindication
Something to behold
Glorious in its path

But the prophecy fell back as it gave to me an invitation
Show them what is right
Show them what is blessed
But now it strikes me far too late again

That I was asking far too much of everyone around me
And now it strikes me far too late again
That I should answer for myself as the Ascension falls upon me
So I should be sad of a life that ? its mess

For once your life was sold it can never be possessed
You were selfishlly as a continent
You were finally at your best
For your favourite, for yourself

Your selfishness was blessed
Then Cordelia came back
In a ?hallucination
Something to rejoice

Glorious in its ?
But the prophecy was a pantomime as it gave to me a recusation
Show them what is right
Show them what is best

But now it strikes me far too late again
That I was asking far too much of everyone around me
And now it strikes me far too late again
That I should answer for myself as the Ascension falls upon me

And now it frightens me, a foot against my chest
To think I was asking for a reason explaning my everything ?
And now it frightens me, the dreams that I possessed
To think I was acting like a believer, when I was just angry and depressed

And to everything there is no meaning
A season of pain and hopelessness
I shouldn’t have looked for revelation
I should have resigned myself to this

I thought I could change the world around me
I thought I could change the world for best
I thought I was called in convocation
I thought I was sanctified and blessed

But now it strikes me to know the truth at last
That everything comes from consummation
And everything comes with consequence
[That I did it all with ?

While you killed it all with for ? holiness
What now? What now?
What now?
What now?

What now?
What now? What now?
