The Great Work

Like the Wind, the Root, the Dream
-there's strength in the Unseen.
we're high and then we're low.
we're hidden -then exposed.

I'm gonna take it   nice          and                   s l o w.

Like an echo off the walls,
reverberate the call.
                      Distinctive as the Crow
perched upon the Archer's bow...

I'm gonna take it   nice           and                  s l o w.
gonna recognize the Soul.

On and up
toward the Absolute.
Better brace my self
for the naked Truth.
There's a pilgrim in my heart
dying to be set free.
There's a lover in your eyes
and I know it's desire I see.
They say there's truth in wine
so have another drink with me.

So many things to know,
many places you could go,
but how far will you run
with words that weigh a ton.

I'm gonna take it   nice             and                  s l o w.
gonna recognize the Soul.
