A letra:
He's
fighting the forces of darkness limitation
Falsehood and mortality
which bar him
The way back into the higher world
While his
whole being is bewildered
He does not know no law of action
Taking
refuge inside himself and he's saying
I need someone to show me
Illumine
my consciousness
Remove the dark from in me
And give me that
which I have lost
As all had seemed lost a light from
Heaven
Breaking
A flash inward illumination
Enriched his
life more than any words can tell
He stood there, life renewed
fresh as rain
Scales were falling from his eyes again
The bolts
of his prison opening he's saying
I found someone who showed me
Illumined
my consciousness
Removed the dark from in me
And given me that
which I have lost
You people don't have time to listen to
him
You're too busy fighting revolutions
That keep you back
down in the lower world
Your mirrors of understanding they
need
Cleansing
Polish away the dust of desire
Before pure
light will reflect in them
You need someone to show you
Illumine
your consciousness
Remove the dark from in you
And give you
that which you have lost.
