[00:21.08]Sisters of the way-side bide their time in quiet peace,
[00:25.20]Await their place within the ring of calm;
[00:29.20]Still stand to turn in seconds of release,
[00:33.31]Await the call they know may never come.
[00:37.78]In times of lightness, no intruder dared upon
[00:41.21]To jeopardize the course, upset the run;
[00:45.20]And all was joy and hands were raised toward the sun
[00:49.35]As love in the halls of plenty overrun.
[01:19.03]Still in their bliss unchallenged mighty feast
[01:22.06]Unending dances shadowed on the day.
[01:26.32]Within their walls, their daunting formless keep,
[01:29.96]Preserved their joy and kept their doubts at bay.
[01:34.89]Faceless legions stood in readiness to weep,
[01:38.14]Just turn a coin, bring order to the fray;
[01:42.14]And everything is soon no sooner thought than deed
[01:46.48]But no one seemed to question in anyway.
[02:22.25]How keen the storied hunter's eye prevails upon the land
[02:26.60]To seek the unsuspecting and the weak;
[02:30.29]And powerless the fabled sat, too smug to lift a hand
[02:34.34]Toward the foe that threatened from the deep.
[02:38.28]Who cares to dry the cheeks of those who saddened stand
[02:42.54]Adrift upon a sea of futile speech?
[02:46.23]And to fall to fate and make the 'status plan
[04:34.68]Where was your word, where did you go?
[04:52.04]Where was your helping, where was your bow?
[05:37.39]Dull is the armour, cold is the day.
[05:54.92]Hard was the journey, dark was the way.
[06:32.17]I heard the word;
[06:34.81]I couldn't stay.
[06:37.77]Oh.I couldn't stand it another day, another day,
[06:57.68]Another day, another day.
[07:24.13]Touched by the timely coming,
[07:28.35]Roused from the keeper's sleep,
[07:32.80]Release the grip, throw down the key.
[07:41.20]Held now within the knowing,
[07:45.52]Rest now within the peace.
[07:49.82]Take of the fruit, but guard the seed.
[08:10.65]They had to stay!
[08:42.16]Held now within the knowing,
[08:46.38]Rest now within the beat.
[08:50.68]Take of the fruit, but guard the seed...
