Golden Temple at Dusk

[Intro]
[soft distant chant]
Ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh (ohh)

[Verse 1]
Sand on my feet
Sun on the carved old names
Incense and heat
Gold on the water’s flame
I walk through gates
Lions of stone watch on
Breath like a prayer
Carried in ancient song

[Chorus]
In the golden temple at dusk
I rise
I rise
Every shadow kneels to the light
In your eyes
Your eyes
Holy river running through us
Burning sky above
In the golden temple at dusk
I remember love

[Verse 2]
Hands to the sky
Stars in the bright red haze
Echoes reply
Low in the hidden ways
I close my eyes
Hear every living tongue
Past and the now
Folded in every rung

[Chorus]
In the golden temple at dusk
I rise
I rise
Every shadow kneels to the light
In your eyes
Your eyes
Holy river running through us
Burning sky above
In the golden temple at dusk
I remember love

[Bridge]
Name upon name upon name
Spirits in circles
Flame after flame
Heart on the scale
I’m weightless
Free
Every step
You’re carrying me (ahh)

[Chorus]
In the golden temple at dusk
I rise
I rise
Every shadow kneels to the light
In your eyes
Your eyes
Holy river running through us
Burning sky above
In the golden temple at dusk
I remember love (ahh-ahh)
