Forty-Nine Days (by Utopian Tunes)

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] First the clear white light

Bright as a thousand suns undone

Do not run from the radiant glare

That is the mind itself returning home

Hold the vision steady now

Fifty breaths inside the womb of sound

Hear the hum of the root note drone

The sitar weaves the thread of knowing

[Pre-Chorus] Floating through the twilight gate

Forty-nine days to find the way

[Chorus] Travel light upon the field of rain

Let the shadows pass and pass again

(Nothing to hold)

(Nothing to claim)

The mirror knows the name

[Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] Red and blue the peaceful forms appear

Side by side the fierce ones loom

Every terror is a face you wore

Every silence a temple in the gloom

Turn away from slow dim light

That longing pulls the falling tide

Recognize the gate of birth

And choose the path that opens wide

[Pre-Chorus] Floating through the twillight gate

Forty-nine days to find the way

[Chorus] Travel light upon the field of rain

Let the shadows pass and pass again

(Nothing to hold)

(Nothing to claim)

The mirror knows the name

[Bridge] Ah... open the heart

Ah... open the heart

[Final Chorus] Travel light upon the field of rain

Let the shadows pass and pass again

(Nothing to hold)

(Nothing to claim)

The mirror knows the name

[Outro] The mirror knows the mirror Mm

Mm
