The Pulse is an Altar

Family memory

Heartbeat as sacred space — the pulse is an altar we share.

Lyrics

Transcribed from the recording — close to the song, but not always word-perfect.

Trading the logic for a slow motion spin
Letting the silence finally begin
The maze in the head was a heavy old crowd
The weight of the silver is falling all down
Now the weight of the silver is falling all down
From the ledge of the mine to the pulse of the vein
Everything looks like a rose of the vein
Everything looks like a rhythm again
Oh the beat is an altar, the light is a door
We don't have to carry the shadows no more
Neon heart beating with the love so why
Turning the world to the fire inside
Turning it all to the fire
Turning it all to the fire
The neon is glowing in a nanocool glow
A river of kindness with nowhere to go
Catching the laser as it cuts through the grey
One simple beat is all we ever need
To plant the awareness in beautiful way
One simple beat is all we ever need
To plant the awareness and swallow the seed
Heart center open
Light is pulsing
Just this heart center open
Light is pulsing
Oh the beat is an altar, the light is a door
We don't have to carry the shadows no more
Neon heart beating with the love so why
Turning the world to the fire inside
Turning it all to the fire
Turning it all to the fire
Loving awareness
Moving the heart just is
Just love, yeah
