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.

The Conductor

Before you’re allowed to find our Circle

I must warn you about the perils

You may hurt yourself and be lost

So, I’ll be your guide and lead you

I’ll join my light to yours

Then you may find your way for Eastern Path

The Chaplain

You’re not welcome in here

But I salute the endeavor

I'm your soul’s counsellor

But I can’t help you here, now

So, I’ll join my light to yours

And pray for it to help you along the Path

Reach for the protection

You can find within your faith and go ahead

The Matre

When the end of life is near

You shall not be in fear

You’ve found a Mother in me

Who prays for your wellbeing

Let me join my light to yours

And give you all the bliss of Golden West

I’ll be waiting here for you

When it comes the time for your soul to rest

The Pilgrim

I have to find what lies beneath my scars

Catching their lights along the Path

One I'm no more

Oh, crowd from my past

Keep me forwards and lead my steps

The Conductor

Oh, Master! This neophyte is travelling the four winds of the visible world under my protection and with the blessing of the Chaplain and the Great Matre. Now, he faces the Northern Portal to meet the Umbral Guardian. When he, at last, gets to you, please allow him to join our Inner Circle

Great is his value, I do declare, because he has given his own life to risk under the proofs of the Four Principles. With the Light of each of us, he must proceed to trials laid ahead

The Guardian

Dark North is where you stand now

My Lair at Deathly Meadows

I am the Sword Bearer

The Ritual’s Blind Protector

I can’t now grant my protection

But you can find some within yourself

Then I’ll join my light to yours

And hope your weakness may become your strength

The Master

I'm glad you’ve found the East

Where you can join our Circle

Your journey ends in here

But you shall not be in fear

Let me join my Light to yours

And send you to the Crypts of Eastern Sands

Listen to the Spells of Black

And take heed of the words of the White Maid

The Pilgrim

I have to find what lies beneath my scars

Catching their lights along the Path

One I'm no more

Oh, crowd from my past

Dark Night of Soul is growing fast

The snow-white Dove

The words of Death

Keep me forwards and lead my steps

The snow-white Dove

The words of Death

Keep me forwards and lead my steps

The Vestal Colombes

Beware the Envy, beware the Intolerance

Beware the Inconstancy, beware the Lies

Beware the Vanity and all addiction

That Man has built to destroy the Light
