OUT OF THE DARKNESS CAME THE LIGHT

Lyrics

(Verse 1) Before the first breath There was the womb Before the morning There was the moon Nine months hidden Before we knew the sky Life began in darkness Before we opened our eyes The seed breaks open Far beneath the ground The deepest transformation Begins without a sound So why do we fear What came before the flame Why do we praise the daylight And give the night the blame (Pre-Chorus) Alpha and Omega Beginning and return Every opposite is teaching Every polarity must turn (Chorus) Out of the darkness came the light Not as enemies But as one Night gives meaning to the morning Shadow teaches what becomes Out of the darkness came the light Above and below combine Do not worship darkness Do not worship light Become conscious enough To carry both inside (Verse 2) They taught us black means evil They taught us white means pure As if the universe was simple As if certainty was sure But fire can keep you living Or turn a home to ash Water can preserve you Or pull you under fast Energy knows no morality It moves according to the hand Power becomes what consciousness Is able to understand The current is not guilty The system is not blame What matters is the awareness Of the one who holds the flame (Chorus) Out of the darkness came the light Not as enemies But as one Night gives meaning to the morning Shadow teaches what becomes Out of the darkness came the light Above and below combine Do not worship darkness Do not worship light Become conscious enough To carry both inside (Verse 3) The Tree of Life is rising Toward the higher mind The Tree of Knowledge opens Where the hidden structures hide One moves into clarity One enters what we fear Neither path is whole When the other disappears One reveals the higher pattern One reveals the buried wound One ascends toward greater vision One descends beneath the ground A bird with only one wing Will never leave the earth The whole begins appearing When both directions meet in birth (Bridge) As Above So Below As Within So Without Heaven and underworld Are closer than we thought Masculine and feminine Expansion and decline Creation and destruction Moving through the same design There is no mountain Without the valley near There is no courage Without something once called fear (Verse 4) They called the ancient powers demons And fear became the law But darkness is not evil Just because we never saw Your anger Your desire Your sorrow Your need Your contradictions Your mortality Everything beneath belief Black magic is not evil White magic is not good They are different currents Often misunderstood The danger is not darkness The danger is not light The danger is unconscious power Without wisdom, depth or sight (Pre-Chorus) What is buried keeps on moving What is denied still shapes the way The unconscious does not vanish Just because we turn away (Breakdown) Descend Do not disappear Ascend Do not escape Feel what lives beneath you Without giving it your fate Look higher Without rejecting earth Look deeper Without forgetting worth Integration is the altar Awareness is the blade And every false division Eventually must fade (Verse 5) The planets turn above us While their rhythms move within The outer world has echoes In the architecture of our skin The magician does not worship The magician learns to see The currents moving through the cosmos And the currents moving through me The macrocosm mirrors The microcosm below And what remains unconscious Can become the thing we know (Final Chorus) Out of the darkness came the light Out of descent comes sight Out of shadow comes awareness Out of knowledge comes new life Out of the darkness came the light The two were never truly torn Walk the Tree of Knowledge Walk the Tree of Life Stand where heaven meets the underworld Where death and birth unite Become conscious enough To hold the whole And still remain awake (Outro) No more war between the opposites No more fear of what lies deep Go down Go up Return Integrate The deepest power Does not come from choosing sides It comes from standing in the centre Conscious Whole Alive Out of the darkness Came the light.
