Here we stand
Thorns and leaves of memory
Clouds of life s illusion
Pass 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 CHORUS x2
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 CHORUS x2
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 CHORUS x 5
Sink again into that pain
Visions born of the evergreen
Rise again, oh rise again
