1. THE VANISHING LAKE

SILVER MOON LIGHTS THE VANISHING LAKE
AND THE MOUNTAINS BREATHE WHITE MIST
AND VILLAGES ARE DEEP IN SLUMBER
PEACEFULLY DREAM-KISSED
LIKE SEEDS WITHIN THE HAND OF GOD
WE'RE HELD WITH LOVING CARE
AS THE MOMENT OF SURRENDER WHISPERS ON THE MIDNIGHT AIR

OH, OH, I AM VANISHING WITHIN
AND IN MY DISAPPEARING LIES THE PLACE WHERE I BEGIN

THE SHADOWS IN THE MOONLIGHT ARE THE SHADOWS OF MY SOUL
THE PURE WHITE LIGHT OF BEING BURNS A PATH TO PAY EACH TOLL
SEE, THE SWALLOW HOLES LIE EMPTY
LIKE THE CRATERS OF THE MOON
BUT THE SPRING OF LIFE WILL SING AGAIN
AND DANCE ME TO ITS TUNE

OH, OH, I AM VANISHING WITHIN
AND IN MY DISAPPEARING LIES THE PLACE WHERE I BEGIN

AND I LOVE THE LAKE WITHIN ME, AND I LOVE THE EMPTY EARTH
AND I LOVE THE WHIRLING POOL OF JOY
THAT BUBBLES ME WITH MIRTH
AND I LOVE THE SILVER MOONTIME WITH ITS SILENT EBB AND FLOW
IN THE WATERS OF ETERNITY, WE ARE THE AFTERGLOW
IN THE WATERS OF ETERNITY, WE ARE THE AFTERGLOW

OH, OH I AM VANISHING WITHIN
AND IN MY DISAPPEARING IS THE PLACE WHERE I BEGIN
