BACK TO THE STORY OF EACH ALBUM

Temple of the Sun (The Story)

a sun with blue and orange swirls on a brown background

Today the heavens align
Two days we celebrate
This temple was built for you, and all that you do

01 Light Our Way
We look to you, for you show us the path
Guide us to inward peace, bring us the Earth so we may feast
We know nothing with you, we have nothing without you
You have given us the way, you have given us everything

02 The Celebrations Begin
Here we stand in your temple
We have gathered to show our love for you
We feel your warmth, we feel your love
We want to celebrate all that you do

03 Our Feet Entangled
Our feet move faster than our thoughts
We weave our own tapestry of motion
Our bodies are entangled, yet they do not touch

04 Circle of Warmth
We gather and hold each other close
Like you, we have created our loving warmth

05 Rest Well, We Look Forward To Your Return
Below the horizon you drop
You too, must rest
You will grace us with your radiance once again
But first, please rest

06 Moonlight Covers Our Temple
You leave, and your sister’s guidance remains
Her glow is warm tonight, she has much to show us
Her kindness wanes, her love not always felt
She has blessed us this night

07 She Hides Her Face
What secrets do you hold?
Why must you turn away from us?

08 Draped in Beauty and Wisdom
I bathe in her light
Her faint touch shrouds the known into unknown
I feel I know, yet I do not see with those eyes
The eyes of knowing guide me, I see all there is to see
All is knowable, one just has to look

09 Lead Us to the Light
Your warmth has reinvigorated us
You have guided us to lands unknown, to those who have left us
It is time for your sister to return

10 She Returns
The veil is lifted and all that can be seen is all that can be known
These plains are all that we will ever have
The unseen lands are taken away, revealed to not be our home
She keeps us here, this is the land we can’t leave

11 Our Loving Provider
You warm us
You warm the plants, and make them grow
You make the birds sing
You show us our path
We can see the beauty around us because of you
We can see the beauty you grow for us

12 Fruits of Loving Labour
What you have grown for us, we bring to you
You nourish us, feed us, make everything on our land grow
We feast thanks to you

13 This, We Give You
We stand apart and feel the vibrations inherent in all life
We feel you, but you are different
Are you our mother?
Are you doing this for us?
Do you even know of us?
Can you even see us?
Does our love mean anything to you?
We want you to feel our love
We want you to embrace our warmth
Please, know that we love you
Please, know that we appreciate you

14 See You Soon
Beneath the horizon you drop
Off to rest beyond the deep blue
Please understand how much love we hold
Everything we have, we have because of you
