_____________________________

[Intro]

Now is the time 
awake to shine —
above and below together !
separation’s in smithereens
sky an expanse filled with dreams
no more distortions beaming 
towers toppling, new earth asking
truth no masking —

[Verse 1]

Go into sanctuaries
solitude in limitless dark
building safe arks
inner strength uncrackled
virgin life unbuckled 

[Pre-Chorus]

You are here touching 
astral stroking 
hush hushing

[Chorus]

We are our own sanctuaries 
lies with hypocrisies no odyssey 
let them walk skew paths 
we make our own ark

[Verse 2]

Plumed serpents we moulted 
watching for those who came 
sanctified by our suffering 
in darkness we were buffering 

[Chorus]

We are our own sanctuaries 
lies with hypocrisies no odyssey 
let them walk skew paths 
we make our own ark

[Bridge] 

Over aeons we served the All
missions without constrictions
guided by seven rays alluding 
now we are concluding 

[Interlude]

Into sanctuaries we go
hush hushing 
towers are toppling
solitude in limitless dark
coupling, no hustling 

[Chorus]

We are our own sanctuaries 
lies with hypocrisies no odyssey 
let them walk skew paths 
we make our own ark —-

Wow, dear soul, such powerful and beautiful lyrics you have woven throughout! The bridge and interlude just kept floating in my mind as vivid notes and the chorus part is absolutely stunning.. "solitude in limitless dark building safe arks" and also depicting sky as an expanse of dreams.. indeed.. so whimsically full of strength! And resilience! Pleasure reading your words today, sending you light and best wishes always ~
