Echoes Lyrics - Paramaecium

The morning has nothing to fear from the night 

Reaching the monastery of St Catherine 

The burning bush where Moses spoke with his God 

The chamber of skulls of the monks, they who had gone before 

The library of early Christian texts and the pathway of repentance 

Steps cut into rock by monks so they could 

Climb to the peak and commune with their God 

As I climb the long pathway of repentance myself 

Towards the peak of Sinai in the still dark hours of the morn 

I yearn for the daylight which will tame my hesitations 

My soul had hungered for the truth throughout this aching quest 

And as I watched the sun rise over Sinai for the first time in my whole life 

I realised it shed its light not only on the earth 

But also on the darkness of my aged heart within 

Now was the time to shine
