Transfiguration Lyrics

As the salmon swim upstream
Reddened with decay
To die there in their birthplace
So will I change
As the stream becomes inert
And the wildflowers fade
As the forest turns to desert
So will I change

When the devil appeared
I locked him in a box
Sure if it opened that he would eat me up
How I feared
At what my fate would be
I couldn't see locked in that box
That love held the key
Strands disentwine and realign
An egg divides
Cells multiply
So I'm told that I was born of halves
And I then so remained
Halves reunite a single slave
The mind a lorn enclave both hateful and attrite
The body turned a grave of muddy appetite

If the truth is an open mind
Love is an open heart
Love cannot be unkind
Love is blind
The mind is a death camp apart
From love so divine
Love in its own time
Love has it's own designs

The mingling of two souls in transformation
Encoded in this chain
Through all transfiguration
An essence must remain
All is changelessly in change
Come out
The winter's over
Come out into the day
Come out
The winter's over
No season ever stays
All is changelessly in change

If the truth is an open mind
Love is an open heart
Love cannot be unkind
Love is blind
The mind is a death camp apart
From love so divine
Love in its own time
Love has it's own designs
Love is changelessly in change
Love is change
Change
