Lyrics
The Golden Way
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
