EOh, the village of the hill
Sitting Asilently at will
Like some F#mprophecy forgoAtten by an Eage
EWith no guns before its gate
The Amysterious estate
Lies F#mwaiting for its Ahistory's dawning Epage
With the Araging A/G#of the F#msea before its hEeight
And the Astrength of A/G#those whom F#msee beyond their EsightE  A  F#m  A  E  
EOh, the smithies anvil rings
And the Asymphony it sings
No F#mvoice nor poet's Apen can put to Etune
EAnd electric lines of force
Ring Aaround the humble lives
Of the F#msouls that hear the Amaster saying Esoon
With the Aclouds that A/G#gather F#mnear disturb the Enight
Striking fAlashes A/G#of a F#mdifference, fleeing EfriEghtE  A  F#m  A  E  
ENo slight of tongue nor hand
Can so Aboldly there withstand
AWhen the F#mspirit of it's Atruth shall speak the tEime
EAnd no ignorance of life
Can be Aheld within the sight
Of the F#mbuttresses of Aageless binds of tEime
The Acommunion A/G#of the fF#morces take deligEht
                  AA#G                    F#m    E      E    E    A     F#m     A  E  
With the fear that no   tongues may read nor write
EWhite Light
EOh the village of the hill
Sitting Asilently still
With the F#mstrength of ages Apast they're still at Ehand
EReckons not to look behind
But to Alook within and find
And to F#mhear of those Aenlightened by the Elamb
With the Apowers A/G#of the F#mwind both fierce and Elight
And the Awaters A/G#of the F#mstorm went through the Enight

F#m

A/G#

Oh, the village of the hill

Sitting silently at will

F#m A E

Like some prophecy forgotten by an age

With no guns before its gate

The mysterious estate

F#m A E

Lies waiting for its history's dawning page

A A/G# F#m E

With the raging of the sea before its height

A A/G# F#m E E A F#m A E

And the strength of those whom see beyond their sight

Oh, the smithies anvil rings

And the symphony it sings

F#m A E

No voice nor poet's pen can put to tune

And electric lines of force

Ring around the humble lives

F#m A E

Of the souls that hear the master saying soon

A A/G# F#m E

With the clouds that gather near disturb the night

A A/G# F#m E E E A F#m A E

Striking flashes of a difference, fleeing fright

No slight of tongue nor hand

Can so boldly there withstand

A F#m A E

When the spirit of it's truth shall speak the time

And no ignorance of life

Can be held within the sight

F#m A E

Of the buttresses of ageless binds of time

A A/G# F#m E

The communion of the forces take delight

A F#m E E E A F#m A E

A#G

With the fear that no tongues may read nor write

White Light

Oh the village of the hill

Sitting silently still

F#m A E

With the strength of ages past they're still at hand

Reckons not to look behind

But to look within and find

F#m A E

And to hear of those enlightened by the lamb

A A/G# F#m E

With the powers of the wind both fierce and light

A A/G# F#m E

And the waters of the storm went through the night
