lyrics

When you speak my conscience awakes
A movement divine
Bearing witness to the heart of Man
That ceaseless form
The ever-hungry throat

Steadfast as a mighty oak
Unchanged as a pine
And grounded as a root in soil
Yet gentle as a breeze
And outstretched as the sea

Naught but wisdom from your lips
Convicting my flaws
Such is the duty of those
Who forego us all
Moving mountains as we crawl

Sever our pride
And all earthly rights
If we cannot be beacons of light
Dispelling all doubt
With sheer hope and trust
That we will not halt
At the sight of mere temptation
Or define away right and wrong
Sever our pride
And all earthly rights
If we cannot be beacons of light

The other…essayed to drown the other music by the violence of its voice, but…taken by the other and woven into its own solemn pattern.” ... more
