lyrics

The splendor of the sun lights a lonely path
As a stranger walks once more as a child
Nothing he calls his own save his suffering
But the demons round his bed have all died

(Chorus)
O mother of the cosmos please protect him
O wind and moon and waters clear the way
For a calm upon the seas shall come
For a calm upon the seas shall come

Rufus Kane had quite his job for wandering
A voice inside his skull that never lied
Intransigent amid the sound and fury
And the awful forms that tried to steal inside

Chorus

The spectre and his stallions close behind him
The madness of the world is all around
But he knows blue nights and tranquil lighted waters
And pearls strung on silken silver threads

Chorus

Well eyes of old they can turn so kind and gentle
But people move like shadows through the night
And the drama of our loneliness continues
With the empty hearts and souls without sight

Chorus
