lyrics

You are the force that drives me
And binds me in spirit to the earth
A totem of the ancestral sum
That courses like a river through time
You're the forest path that guides my stumbling feet
To a place of equilibrium
And from my flesh I lay a foundation
And set a torch in the tower of my vigil

A light shines through the dark
Divides me from myself
Elutriates my blood
A transfusion for the soul

The silence after the storm
Provides me clarity of thought
The sky clears at the far horizon
And shines with a rejuvenating light
And the broken land lies still behind me
Nothing stirs in that ravaged wilderness
I am born afresh, I am reincarnated
I shed the serpent skin of my past

A light shines through the dark
Divides me from myself
Elutriates my blood
A transfusion for the soul

You rose like a tsunami
From an ocean amniotic
To flood the shore for miles in waves of light
You came to beat the night
To eradicate the shadows
And to rinse the poison from the blood in my veins
All flesh is a flowing stream
In the currents of a mighty river
Arterial to the propagating heart
Back when the darkness reigned
I never thought I would see the light of day
I never thought I would feel its warmth again
Again
