EARTH AND PILLARS LYRICS

1. Pillars

A watcher of Thy spaces make me,
A listener at Thy stone,
Give to me vision and then wake me
Upon Thy mountains alone.

Thy rivers' courses let me follow
Where they leap the crags in their flight
Where at dusk in caverns hollow
They croon to music of the night.

Send me far into Thy barren land
Where the snow clouds the wild wind drives,
Where the ancient firs as guardians stand
To protect Thy reign that silent here lies.

White pilgrims climb slowly one by one,
No moon to brighten (where) Thy footstep goes
Blindly trust the summons, 'till the journey is done
Up the pathway that no one knows…

Is there a light to gaze?
Is there a voice to guide?
For the silence is not ours
For we long for endless music and warming ancient fires.

2. Myth

Up high, 'tween ever-growing silver clouds
Thy mountains peaks aim to the sky
Of snow eternal Thou made a shroud
There, where Thy hidden portals rise

To wide open highlands rest
Where grass and marshes grow lush
Fertile whispers of old in Thy chest
Purity that gush eternally

The vastness of Thy centuries past
In stones, vales and mountains forever lasts
The face of immortal living statues we gaze
Longing for stories they will not tell
As they stray in a timeless haze
In their silence hides their farewell

Alone Thou wanderest through space,
Profound One with the hidden face,
Thou art Poverty's great rose,
The eternal metamorphose
Of gold into the light of the Stars.

3. Solemnity

Destiny, the doom of time
For the passing is crystal
Yet the stone here lies.
Thy sight, no eyes
Feel the spirit beyond its shine
Burn like a fire that never dies.

For the solemn to Thy yell down bows
As Thy voice through the aether flows
For the silence of the ages Thou withstand
As the sound of Thy chant here descends.

All things are long passed away and far
A light is shining but a distant star
From which it still comes to me
Has been dead a thousand years
Beneath the sky's vast dome, I long to prey
Of all the stars there must be far away
A single star which still exists, apart
Alone has endured
All space commands
'Tween white pillars
In the high heavens stands.

4. Penn

Thou art the mystic homeless One;
Into the world Thou never came,
Too mighty Thou, too great to name;
Voice of the storms, Song of the wild wind sings,
Thou Harp shatters those who play Thy strings!

Feral melody, come forth from the stars
Cherish me in eternity's silent waves
Through blazing marble altars
Ascend to a world beyond
Where the pillars rise again, from Thy mind engraved
In the temples resounds Thy voice sublime
Everything turns to Thee before time.
