She said "Come to me and sit you down You'll always return as I promised you would When you're through playing games with the bad and the good Immerse your heart in the remains of the day On the golden way" She's telling me stories of surrender and joy Of warrior gods that the heavens deployed And love that spills out from the words on the page In this golden age Shoot an arrow to Shiva Through the blood of the sun The prayers of a lifetime will not go unsung On the golden way The shadows emerge from night into day And rally through lifetimes in anger and rage But love embraces all In the golden age And the knife enters deep But I'm longing to sing The fool's ready to take the place of the king It's the wildest of things Destroyed and glistening On silent wings On the golden way
