Pillars by Earth and Pillars Lyrics

A watcher of Thy spaces make me
A listener at Thy stone
Give to me vision and then wake me
Upon Thy mountains alone

Thy rivers’ courses let me follow
Where they leap the crags in their flight
Where at dusk in caverns hollow
They croon to music of the night

Send me far into Thy barren land
Where the snow clouds the wild wind drives
Where the ancient firs as guardians stand
To protect Thy reign that silent here lies

White pilgrims climb slowly one by one
No moon to brighten (where) Thy footstep goes
Blindly trust the summons, ‘till the journey is done
Up the pathway that no one knows…

Is there a light to gaze?
Is there a voice to guide?
For the silence is not ours
For we long for endless music and warming ancient fires
