The Light Goes On Forever Lyrics

Shaman clambers up the world-dream tree looking for clues about what is to be chants and trances give his spirit wings flight wings still shackled to history the chain of events ain?t broken so easily let me rest in the place of light skull drum, skin stretched tight sends out ripples in the gathering night the deepest darkness breeds the brightest light music rising from the bones of saints from the pungent smell of sad, sweet poems and paintings let me rest in the place of light God waves a thought like you?d wave your hand and the light goes on forever through the seasons and through the seas the light goes on forever through the burning and the seeding through the joining and the parting the light goes on forever Gypsy searches through the cards for truth alchemist searches for eternal youth human reaching almost makes it but not quite and so strike out at what the wind blows by you live and it hurts you, you give up you die let me rest in the place of light Fugitives in the time before the dawn backed up to the wall with weapons drawn like mounted nomads, always ready for a fight this creature that thinks and so can fake its own being lightless mind?s eye not much good for seeing let me rest in the place of light God waves a thought like you?d wave your hand and the light goes on forever through the people and through the walls the light goes on forever through who obeys and who does not through who gets rich and who gets caught the light goes on forever Uptight lawyer on Damascus road becomes a nexus where the light explodes concentrated, overpowering sight two-way whirlpool churning up all time infinity stoops to touch the human mind let me rest in the place of light God waves a thought like you?d wave your hand and the light goes on forever through the buildings and through the hills the light goes on forever through the struggles and the games through the night?s empty door frame the light goes on forever
