Four Quarters

Lyrics

Lay the symbol on the ground Speak the words without the sound Eyes closed tight against the dark The past will always leave its mark

A pentacle, the sun and the moon A hopeful hymn sung out of tune

Four quarters Each a change that will not hold Four quarters The past a debt, a future sold To be the fool and let it go On into the evermore Four quarters, falling down

The symbol drawn upside down The words seem clear all around Eyes now open to the dark Light that now provides the spark

A pentacle, the sun and the moon A hymn sung now to attune

Four quarters Each a change that will not hold Four quarters The past a debt, a future sold To be the fool and let it go On into the evermore Four quarters, falling down

Holding on and letting go As if to manifest control The deck is always stacked But neither against nor for It’s never win or lose Just the card we choose

Four quarters Each a change that will not hold Four quarters The past a debt, a future sold To be the fool and let it go On into the evermore Four quarters, falling down

Four quarters, falling down Four quarters, falling down On into the evermore Four quarters, falling down
