Lyrics
Gloria Descends
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.
Half moon bay looking up at the stars
Hanging on a plank at the edge of the sea
Praying that shark doesn't read me as seal
Shiva laughs in the curl of a wave, a wave
Drag a breaker to carry me home
Shift my weight to anticipate
Permutate into a body of light
As overhead the stars pulsate, pulsate
Out here in the oceans surf
We're particle to waves
Out here in the oceans surf
We dream...
Glory descends
Glory embraces you
Her Glory descends
Glory through my guards
No alone when you know there is only one, is one, is one
Here I is one and one is we
Here I is starlight's devotee
Here I is dream
Glory descends
Glory embraces you
Her Glory descends
Walks right through my guards
No alone when you know there is only one, is one, is one
I know I know nothing
I know I know nothing
I know I know nothing
I know I know nothing
I know I know nothing
Gloria descends…
Glory descends
All is Gloria
No alone when you know there is only one is one is one.
