Give me release
Witness me
I am outside
Give me peace

Heaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to believe
That I'd get caught up
When the rage in me subsides

Passion chokes the flower
'Til she cries no more
Possessing all the beauty
Hungry still for more

Heaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to believe
That I'd get caught up
When the rage in me subsides

In this white wave
I am sinking
In this silence
In this white wave
In this silence
I believe

I can't help this longing
Comfort me
I can't hold it all in
If you won't let me

Heaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to believe
That I'd get caught up
When the rage in me subsides

In this white wave
I am sinking
In this silence
In this white wave
In this silence
I believe

I have seen you
In this white wave
You are silent
You are breathing
In this white wave
I am free

They are best known for their worldwide hit "Silence". The band is known to feature female guest vocalists on their albums since their 1994 album Semantic Spaces.

Don't understand the occasional grief leveled at this. Beautiful vibe, instrumental balance and journey through genres. Don't overthink it.

Magnificent.  Her music has been with me during some of the most intense times of my life.  Thanks Sarah.  And thanks to RP.

I don't really care for choral music. But when I was a kid in NYC in the 60's we sang in a church choir. Every year, EVERY episcopal choir in the greater New York area would sing together one day together in the Cathedral in upper Manhattan. The decay time from the last note in that vast space seemed to take forever. Even for an atheist like me, it was a wonderment. Every little brat in our choir was awe struck.

This record blew my mind when it first came out. I was a traveling sales rep and posting 30k plus miles a year, I swear I did not take this CD out of my player for like 2 months...I have no idea how many listens...150-200 in a row? I never tire of it!

While I don't agree I love your humor and brevity.

Could Sarah ever be a wrong choice?

Sounds like: "Enigma gets an even better singer."

There are quite a few versions of this amazing track out there, some much harder and darker than this mix.  Great stuff.  9.

Bumped this from a 7 up to a 9. It’s such an exquisite piece of music! Beautiful mix & arrangement.

I’ve loved it from the first listen many years ago.

Never heard of Delerium before RP.  What an amazing gift!! TY, Willuam, (Rebecca), et. al. Feeling SO MUCH gratitude for you — as well as for my RP world family!! ❤️❤️

Don't bother.  Gifs are the bane of this site (well, for me at least).

Good song, but that whole Gregorian chant thing really didn't age well.

That comment could be the punchline to a comic panel from The New Yorker.  I'm not sure how many 1,200-year-old singing styles have aged well.
