GNOSSIENNE No. 1 by Erik Satie, words by Joel Sattler

When I look down inside my soul

I see something older than old

Something that had existence long before the world

Was hard and cold

When I look deep inside my heart

I see glimmering in the dark

Something that was intrinsic from the very start

An inner spark

It’s not a sin the flame within is what you are

The mirror sight the hidden light is what you are 

I see a star shining inside of me

And I see all the things that I was meant to be 

Across the stars up to the endless sea

and fall around the sun throughout eternity

Beyond the night into the white infinity

The promise of eternal love you have the key 

Flying high in the sky

Can’t help wondering why

Laws of physics break down

they no longer apply

And everything I thought I knew was not the truth 

And everything I thought believed was misconceived

The soul is but a mere illusioning

Resulting from mirage and self-delusioning

The mind is but a misperceptioning

Resulting from a willful self-deceptioning 

When Trinity turns in to singularity 

then in despair you find your own divinity
