Em Am Here we stand C G Thorns and leaves of memory Em Am Clouds of life's illusion C G Pass across the sky Em Am And here to fall C G Down to the essence of ourselves Em Am Desert of the second dawn C G Em Deep in the night of dreams C G Burn away in reverie CHORUS x2 Am Em Sink again into that pain C G Visions born of the evergreen Am Em Rise again, oh rise again Em Am Here we weave C G Dark threads of destiny Em Am Clouds of disillusion C G Weep into the soul Em Am And if we see C G Through all life's mystery Em Am Come to the clearing of ourselves C G Em The dark house of the world C G Burn away in reverie CHORUS x2 Am Em Sink again into that pain C G Visions born of the evergreen Am Em Am / Em Rise again, oh rise again Em G White stones of light C G Bright bows of the angel's fire C G To take this burden cruel C G And thread it into wings C G Burn away in reverie CHORUS x 5 Am Em Sink again into that pain C G Visions born of the evergreen Am Em Rise again, oh rise again
