Downstream the river The boat is moving on Passing fields of silence Long time gone. A paragon of beauty A sacred holy ground Gazing at in wonder Safe and sound. Eternal bliss is reaching in The valleys of the soul The spirits of your fondest dreams Are here. The purple patch of memories In ruby letters carved The archway of forgotten worlds Appear. The wind dies down in this eve In a wide land outward bound Cast the anchor Roam a while on sacred ground. Flow on time forever As if there was no yesterday Roam on sacred ground Right on your way. This land blooms forever In amenity The flare path of existence Mystery. The chalice of the purest wine The cryptic colonnade The spirits gone to glory Know the rhymes. Prevail them from oblivion They're relics of the past In a waking Dream of former times. The wind dies down in this eve In a wide land outward bound Cast the anchor Roam a while on sacred ground. Flow on time forever As if there was no yesterday Roam on sacred ground Right on your way. I can see the light In the priming of a day I can see the dawn From the crest to golden bay. I am all ablaze I was once lost now I'm found I'm not lonely here Roam a while on sacred ground. I have seen the light I was once lost now I'm found I have seen the dawn Roam a while on sacred ground.
