Chimes

Oh, the chimes are sounding
And they echo off the canyon walls
Well this is wild and holy
These are ancient songs that fill my body
Oh the light is astounding
It's golden lash is sweetly ultra
Well this is my joy smiling
These are my spoils for simply breathing
Still with all my faults
I draw my breath from an ancient earth
Oh the light is astounding
Like a sulfur cloud amongst the stately pines
Well I could hold my gauges steady
And in a thousand years we barely think the same
Still with all my faults
I draw my breath from an ancient earth
All, for what it's worth
I draw my breath from an ancient earth
All, for what it's worth
I draw my breath from an ancient earth
