The Golden Way

She said "Come to me and sit you down

You'll always return as I promised you would

When you're through playing games with the bad and the good

Immerse your heart in the remains of the day

On the golden way"





She's telling me stories of surrender and joy

Of warrior gods that the heavens deployed

And love that spills out from the words on the page

In this golden age



Shoot an arrow to Shiva

Through the blood of the sun

The prayers of a lifetime will not go unsung

On the golden way



The shadows emerge from night into day

And rally through lifetimes in anger and rage

But love embraces all

In the golden age



And the knife enters deep

But I'm longing to sing

The fool's ready to take the place of the king

It's the wildest of things



Destroyed and glistening

On silent wings



On the golden way
