3:16Bitter night descending, Spirit voices bending Round the peaks that frame the glistening sky Autumn wind is pressing, flesh to flesh undressing Scars that bind the pain in twisting time Mystic climb --- climb! In the stars gleams your light Freedom’s star dreams of Light Mothers lost and mourning, shallow waters warning Shattered souls bewail the dawning light Images of moonlight, sacred scenes of starlight Visions that transcend this mortal life Ancient life ---Life! O star that shines upon my native home! Transcend the chains that bind Immortal Time! Receive this depth of soul and light the gemstone That gleams through mountain snows in Africa! Africa beam your fire! Spirit’s home, chaste desire! Vastness is transcended, earth and heaven blended Rapturous embrace primordial grace Bitter chill descending, Nature unrelenting Mystic senses stall neath flesh and blood Satan’s flood --- drown! O star that shines upon my native home! Transcend the chains that bind Immortal Time! Receive this depth of soul and light the gemstone That gleams through mountain snows in Virginia! Oh! In the stars gleams your light Freedom’s star dreams of Light! Dawn’s embrace caressing, flesh to flesh undressing Naked spirits dance on spears of fire Floods of blood are racing, destiny is chasing Visions that transcend this mortal life Ancient life --- Life!
