The Seer
Swans Lyrics

I see it all
I possess a clear understanding and perception of every aspect and detail.

I see the seer's message written in letters of fire
I have the ability to comprehend the prophetic message given by the visionary through a written expression of flames, symbolizing the clarity and urgency of the message.

I see the future's enemies covered in blood
I have witnessed the defeat of those who will oppose and threaten the future in a gruesome and violent manner.

I see the secrets of the age deep in their graves
I have revealed the concealed knowledge and hidden truths of the era that are inevitably hidden within the graves of those who have passed away.

I see the prophets flying through the mist
I have witnessed the prophetic messengers soaring through the hazy unknown, carrying forward insight and understanding.

I see the lightning tearing holes
I have observed the destructive and powerful nature of lightning as it punctures through solid objects and creates open space.

I see the figures in the distance waiting
I have caught sight of figures who are shown to be waiting in the distant area.

I see the lord of the ages with his deadly kiss
I have perceived the master of the times and the era, with his dangerous and lethal gesture of intimacy.

I see the coming of the end, I see the falling of the world
I have foreseen the arrival of the apocalypse and the demise of the planet as it collapses.

I see the cenotaph, I see the mile high flame
I have envisioned the tomb created in honour of a person whose remains are elsewhere, as well as the excessively high column of flames.

I see the world in one blade of grass
I have comprehended the vast and complex world contained within a single strand of grass.

I see the future, I see the past
I have perceived both the upcoming events and the historical occurrences of the past.

I see the world, I see it turning
I have perceived the earth, as well as the movements that make it rotate around its axis.

I see the cities, I see the mountains touch the sky
I have viewed the metropolis areas in addition to the towering mountain ranges that appear to be reaching up towards the heavens.

I see the oceans, I see the mountains in your eyes
I have observed both the vast bodies of water as well as the mountainous landscapes of the world within the eyes of another individual.

I see the churches, I see the rivers meet the sea
I have noticed the places of worship, as well as the convergence of waterways as they flow into the ocean.

I see the churches, I see them standing
I have observed the houses of worship, standing tall and unchanged.

I see the churches, their spires soft white
I have witnessed the delicate towers of churches, colored in a gentle white hue.

I see the churches, their halls hollow
I have noticed the vacant expanse of space within the halls of the church.

I see the children, I see the mothers in the rain
I have observed the children as well as the mothers, accompanying them as they walk under the rain.

I see you, I see you jumping
I have perceived you as you jump with excitement or joy.

I see you, I see you weeping
I have noticed you as you cry or shed tears in sadness, distress, or agony.

I see you, I see you waiting by the roadside
I have seen you passively standing by the street, waiting and hoping for something or someone.

I see you, I see you praying by the roadside
I have observed you practicing your religious beliefs as you kneel in prayer by the edge of the road.

I see you, I see your eyes
I have perceived you, as well as the expressions and emotions conveyed through your eyes.

I see the future, I see the past
I have perceived both the upcoming events and the historical occurrences of the past.

I see the world, I see it turning
I have perceived the earth, as well as the movements that make it rotate around its axis.
