Shadows Of Ignorance

[Instrumental (0:00-8:20)]

Face to the future

The past will cling and gather to us
Face the future, free from all
Look beyond where nothing gathers
Where no voices ever call

There we stand and look upon it
There we are and here we stand
Looking down on ourselves
Either of us on both hands

It′s love that gathers
And love that falls
And love that delusion shatters for us
There the sunbeams shine so brightly
Through the shadows of ignorance

And there lays my call beyond it all
To return in every single word

And learn:
That nothing ever was created without a purpose
And ignorance is the choice not to know
And so - across the sands I go

Water run the sunlight glist'ning
Like a jewel, 'cross the pearl
Water run the sunlight glist'ning
See the sunlight dally home
From the mountains you can hear the voices calling
From afar you can hear their echoing
And now you look upon the stars
Gaily brightning, brightning
From the light of the sun

Every star and every planet should be heard
Every word shall be spread
Across the universe
Every gathering, every man
Everyone who′s ever heard
Himself be calling to them, say:
Oh Lord, upon the God of all
Behind the universe
Everything spells your name
Everything calls your verse

Every word and every tree
Every land and every bee
Every bird, every beautiful woman
Every strong man, every understanding
That is you and the living too
We know that we're coming through
Ooh-ooh, coming through
Ooh-ooh, coming through
Across the sand, coming through
Across the sand...

Daylight glitter, no shadows
Daylight glitter, no shadows
See the pattering feet all go
Across the desert to the snow
From where lands of sunshine birth
To the snow-clad cold wide earth

There is nothing to believe
Nothing that behind you be
Everythings are one, the same
And the future is your game
Choose your future, make your life
Reading now and understand
Beyond all where fate will lie
There go I, there go I
Travelling high...

Dancing blood upon the feet
Feel the rhythm of the beat
Dancing as the planets go round
Hear the rhythm of the sound
Feel the touch of all the earth
Since the time that had its birth
Believe the sky

Empires have no hold on me
Nor the pull of history
Rich is delusion, cast the shed
I will dance upon their head
Rich is delusion, beckon confusion
Telling my heart where it must go
I can be seen upon the screen
Of the television scene
That you always ever been
That we got to know

Empty the power, empty the glory
Empty the vision that can see
Empty the season, empty the story
Empty the reason to be

Onwards ever onwards going
Onwards ever onwards going
Onwards ever onwards going
Sometimes the future knowing
Still having to be growing
Onwards ever onwards going
And loving to be knowing
It′s all the time
It′s all the time
It′s all the time
To change your mind
To expand with your hand
Feel the future, every land
Now it's growing, now you can see
Where the future ought to be
It′s the reason you must know
Got to be and let it go...
Got to be and let it go...
Got to be and let it go...
Got to be and let it go...
Got to be and let it go...

This was a dream, let's make it real
Everything knows what your heart feels

And though the sun should shine at night
Though the stars should not be bright
I′d hold you with my hands and see you grow

Call me with your special voice
Let me hear your soul rejoice
Let the people of the world all know:
Time for evolution comes
Throw off the yoke and the sound of drums

He's beating out the rhythm
Of the blundered flows tonight
So let′s this make a wild dance ever
Let's all see the thing together
See the sun that rises on the hill
It's there still

[Instrumental (18:00-19:20]

So you walk the line of time
And you dance the beat of your heart
You walk the line of your mind
To where it never could start
To where all is arrayed beyond you
Beside you, round you, wherever you go
Looking in love upon no reason
Hmmmm...
You know it′s all...
All...
All...
All...
All is love and all is growing
All the destiny you knew
All is love and all is showing
Destiny is what you do
When you′re you
What you are before you were!

[Vocoder (20:45-22:40)]

That can be no revolt
No reason why
Just to do

And that is why
Sweetness and mercy
Every day
Of my life
Will follow on
Faster than the horses
Swifter than light beams
Drifting by

That is the place
The empty space
To stand
