k2 (prog rock) - cloak of antiquity lyrics
[chapter 5: cloak of antiquity]
as the clouds depart, i reach the deepest valley
and cross through the gates, reflected in my eyes
cast upon the earth, the sun so unrelenting
to the north, a passage for souls to pray
time falls away, before the beginning
with hands so high and a cup of wine
as the years loose their cloak upon the past
to the north, a passage for souls to stay
sunk without substance, in a grand upheaval
subtle change, subtle ways
thrust deep within the earth, from ages past
abandon the dark, a purpose just to feel
a need just to be, to alter an endless path
voices from the earth, incense and sacred rites
to the north, a passage for souls to pray
oppressing and immense, towers wait for the sun
they follow across the sky, shadows in the open die
deep the image burns, carved with weathered ancient hands
to the north, a passage for souls to stay
