Universal Hall

I sacrifice my power on the altar of your love

That it may be born again on another world

I sacrifice my power on the altar of your love

That it may be born again

In this library i could lose myself

Transports gateways on every shelf

Dark words bright words of ice and fire

As if an angel did descend and use the writer as a pen

For here are 'avalon of the heart'

'Flight into freedom'

Macdonald's 'lilith' and 'fantastes'

Lewis's 'perelandra'

I sacrifice my power on the altar of your love

That it may be born again on another world

I sacrifice my power on the altar of your love

That it may be born again

Come friend let us climb the winding flights of stairs

Through the narrow door into the chamber bare

A single candle burns as we seat ourselves

Words take form in our minds and repeat themselves :

"my beloved and i are one

My beloved and i are one

My beloved and i are one

My beloved and i are one"

I sacrifice my power on the altar of your love

That it may be born again on another world

I sacrifice my power on the altar of your love

That it may be born again

I sacrifice my power on the altar of your love

Out here on the tower the air is cold and clear

The stars and moon are bright above us

A night wind whispers in our ears

And it loves us

And though your body weary is

In this grand canyon state of mind

If high stream of dreams and truth be told

And our intentions be entwined

Then from these high flung tower walls

Let healing grace and blessings fall

Over all this cracked and broken land

From northern crag to southern down

From universal hall to camden town

From city square to village green

From parliament to housing scheme

From iona to the hill of dreams

I sacrifice my power on the altar of your love

That it may be born again
