Quintessence

High upon this hill
Lives a king and daughter
Can you hear their songs
Echo across the water?

They sing of times long past
When the world was quiet
Simplicity and beauty
Reigned over the realms

There was time to savor
There was time to spare
There was understanding
Among the people everywhere

That God was our creator
But without nature we're no more
Than seeds of promise and potential
Floating rootless as before
Through the vast and empty spaces
Trapped in somewhere in between

Conscious thought and dreaming
Projecting and perceiving
Reality's a construct
Agreed upon by all
It's time to reawaken and hear the spirit call

Deep inside this forest
Lies a fairy kingdom
Can you hear the bells
Carried on the breeze?
They feel somewhat familiar
Like memories from childhood

A faint and distant calling
Your senses are enthralled
Your heart is filled with longing
Grace permeates the air

Now the chiming starts subsiding
Until it's barely even there
Where it's gone you cannot follow
You are forced to look within
There you find a crystal chamber
Now the journey can begin

There's a pyramid in Egypt
You have travelled there before
See it now in your mind's eye
And walk toward the door

Enter with your body
Enter with your soul
The world has been divided
Through you it is made whole

That God was our creator
Without nature we're no more
Than seeds of promise and potential
Floating rootless as before
Through the vast and empty spaces
Trapped in somewhere in between

Conscious thought and dreaming
Projecting and perceiving
Reality's a construct
Agreed upon by all
It's time to reawaken and hear the spirit call
