Kyrie Eleison: A Soulful Journey Through Life's Crossroads
Lyrics
Kyrie Eleison
Invocation for mercy and compassion (Greek for "Lord, have mercy")
Kyrie Eleison
Repetition of the invocation for mercy and compassion
Kyrie
Continuation of the invocation
The wind blows hard against this mountain side
Symbolic representation of challenges and adversity
Across the sea into my soul
Struggles penetrating deeply into one's inner being
It reaches into where I cannot hide
The inability to hide from or escape these struggles
Setting my feet upon the road
Acceptance and readiness to embark on a journey
My heart is old, it holds my memories
Experience, memories, and emotions held within
My body burns a gemlike flame
A passionate and enduring spirit
Somewhere between the soul and soft machine
The intersection between the spiritual and the mechanistic
Is where I find myself again
Rediscovery of self within this juxtaposition
Kyrie Eleison, down the road that I must travel
Persistent plea for guidance and support along life's path
Kyrie Eleison, through the darkness of the night
-Kyrie Eleison, where I'm going, will you follow?
-Kyrie Eleison, on a highway in the light
-When I was young I thought of growing old
Reflections on aging and contemplating life's purpose
Of what my life would mean to me
Pondering the significance of life's journey
Would I have followed down my chosen road
Considering past decisions and potential regrets
Or only wished what I could be?
The dichotomy between aspirations and reality
Kyrie Eleison, down the road that I must travel
Reiteration of the plea for guidance and companionship
Kyrie Eleison, through the darkness of the night
-Kyrie Eleison, where I'm going, will you follow?
-Kyrie Eleison, on a highway in the light
-Kyrie Eleison, down the road that I must travel
-Kyrie Eleison, through the darkness of the night
-Kyrie Eleison, where I'm going, will you follow?
-Kyrie Eleison, on a highway in the light
-Kyrie Eleison, down the road that I must travel
Continued insistence on the need for support along life's journey
Kyrie Eleison, through the darkness of the night
-Kyrie Eleison, where I'm going, will you follow?
-Kyrie Eleison, on a highway in the light
-Kyrie Eleison, down the road that I must travel
-Kyrie Eleison, through the darkness of the night
-Kyrie Eleison, where I'm going, will you follow?
-Kyrie Eleison, on a highway in the light
-Kyrie Eleison, down the road that I must travel
Final plea and questioning about the willingness of someone to accompany on this journey
Kyrie Eleison, through the darkness of the night
-Kyrie Eleison, where I'm going, will you follow?
