Who knows the earth

Who knows the earth 

With its calculated ways 

It's days of thunder lays 
Before one's time of death 
????????
Who knows the earth
That which this will take
The stand upon which we break 
For all the days of myrth
????????
Thunder, before me took 
This bolt, this heart mistook 
Lightning; before me took 
This death, this heart mistook 
???????
Great serpent of the sky
That brings heaven to earth
The dust above now underneath 
For which we surely die 
???????
Who knows the earth 
Thy day now come and gone
As all the grief forgone 
Who now shall save love's birth 
????????
Who knows the earth
Knows the day
Kneels upon altars pray 
Before one's time of death
