Sacred Treasure

Once a youthful spirit of an enigmatic place
Weathered by the storm of time upon this weary face
Swam the oceans flowing to a purpose pure and strong
Angular perceptions are now back where they belong

Ominous reflections now are staring back at me
(staring back at me)
Shrouded in the mystery of everything i see
(everything i see)
Reaching back to images that tell me what is real
(what is real)
Helping me to overcome this heaviness i feel

Listen now; to the sound of a sacred treasure
Time can't hear; hear the silent mind
In our life; we may never know (never know)

Set my foot upon the soil of centuries of kings
Felt the magic of their land and reveled in such things
Stood upon the mountains of the highest mortal thrones
Took a breath of ages past from all i've ever known

Listen now; to the sound of a sacred treasure
Time can't hear; hear the silent mind
In our life; we may never know (never know)

All we show and struggle to let it all go
And just understand
Earth and sky will always remind us how
It slips through our hands

Through my eyes i've seen the brazen sky and grand design
Through my ears i've heard the sounds of dissonance and rhyme
Stood upon the mountains of the highest mortal throne
Took a breath of ages past from all i've ever known

Listen now; to the sound of a sacred treasure
Time can't hear; hear the silent mind
In our life; we may never… know
We may never… never know
