Here I stand at the Eastern gate, pockets full of gold
Bones and skin hold a fragile form with which spirit molds
Mountains trees, *the earth herself, everything must die
This broken body stretched between the earth and the sky
Love can never die, Love can never die
Here I stand at the Northern gate taken by the wind
Blowing my mind to emptiness, to where it all begins
Swept along on a river of tears right through my breaking heart
Flowing forever through the Western gate I’m merging with the stars
Love can never die, Love can never die
Oh girl I could take you there though, nothing but love is spared
Be true to your heart be true to love, know that I’m there
between us a light it streams its spreading beyond the sky
The tears they fall but love it seems,
Love can never die ...
Hear I stand at the Southern gate my heart bursts into flames
Burning all I thought was mine, all I have named
Ashes to ashes dust to dust, the spirit remains
There is no center all is Love, through countless inner plains
Love can never die ...
Take all the pain take all the worry,
all we believe, all of the money
Light a big fire, oh it starts from within.
That burning inside, that’s where it begins
The holes in your heart, that drive you insane.
All of the tears just fuel for the flames
Let it burn everything you thought you could know,
leaving behind a naked soul
Glowing and radiant you light up the world,
just as you are your light unfurled
Love can never die ...
...Light up your Love lay it in the darkness.
Light up your Love lay it all around.
