Em       Am
Here we stand
C                    G
Thorns and leaves of memory
Em                 Am
Clouds of life's illusion
C               G
Pass across the sky
Em           Am
And here to fall
C                   G
Down to the essence of ourselves
Em            Am
Desert of the second dawn
C                    G     Em
Deep in the night of dreams

C            G
Burn away in reverie            CHORUS x2
Am           Em
Sink again into that pain
C                   G
Visions born of the evergreen
Am             Em
Rise again, oh rise again

Em        Am
Here we weave
C                G
Dark threads of destiny
Em            Am
Clouds of disillusion
C             G
Weep into the soul
Em        Am
And if we see
C                  G 
Through all life's mystery
Em                      Am
Come to the clearing of ourselves
C                     G    Em
The dark house of the world

C                    G
Burn away in reverie            CHORUS x2
Am                Em
Sink again into that pain
C                            G
Visions born of the evergreen
Am                   Em   Am / Em
Rise again, oh rise again

Em                   G
White stones of light
C                         G
Bright bows of the angel's fire
C                           G
To take this burden cruel
C                       G
And thread it into wings

C                    G
Burn away in reverie           CHORUS x 5
Am                Em
Sink again into that pain
C                            G
Visions born of the evergreen
Am                   Em
Rise again, oh rise again
