Linda Perhacs - Songs Of The Planets lyrics

And as I awoke I heard multiple tones In a resonant hum Made of layers of drones I saw all of the planets They were spinning as one They were moving and breathing As if they were one Like a hum Like a prayer Filling all the universe The most beautiful tones I have ever heard They were spinning in a beauty of unity And I heard this full prayer Filling all the universe We are one with the one With the sun We are one with the one With the sun We are one with the one With the sun We are one with the one Who is the sun who is one? With the one who is the one We are one with the one With the sun We are one with the one With the sun We are one with the one With the sun We are one with the one Who is the sun who is one? With the one who is the one [Male Spoken Voice] Peace is an essential principle in nature Not merely a quality to be acquired It belongs to the innate essence in all things And like love is a cohesive principle Behind all movement there is rest Behind all sound there is stillness So that behind the motion and the music of the spheres, there is peace You too, if you would achieve, must find that peace No man can plead that he does not know these things Messenger after messenger has come and spread the truth abroad It is you who have locked up such truth in temple, church and mosque And taken refuge in the courts of law Self denial is unknown And is displaced by denial of the self Still you laugh contemptuously when told that love shall save the world Or purity, or truth, or law, or sacrifice You have hardened your hearts Yet he still comes The embodiment of love, of purity and of truth, of law and sacrifice To teach you once again the ancient truth Less war, and even greater war should take his place as teacher of the angels of men Be of the same mind One with another For there is but one life Which is the very essence of you all It is love that will open the doors What will your answer be? Men of earth? [Linda] What will your answer be? What will your answer be men of earth? What will your answer be? What will your answer be men of earth?
