Here we stand Thorns and leaves of memory Clouds of life's illusion Pa** across the sky And here to fall Down to the essence of ourselves Desert of the second dawn Deep in the night of dreams Burn away in reverie Sink again into that pain Visions born of the evergreen Rise again, oh rise again Here we weave Dark threads of destiny Clouds of disillusion Weep into the soul And if we see Through all life's mystery Come to the clearing of ourselves The dark house of the world Burn away in reverie Sink again into that pain Visions born of the evergreen Rise again, oh rise again White stones of light Bright bows of the angel's fire To take this burden cruel And thread it into wings Burn away in reverie Sink again into that pain Visions born of the evergreen Rise again, oh rise again
