The Chariot from ARCANA by Circe Link & Christian Nesmith

THE CHARIOT

Wheels run and wheels roll
turn round, every road
forward, you’re passing by

Worlds away a strange parade
but there you’ll finally see

Wheels spin and wheels race
speed, sound, to any place
forward, to find some grace

Left of last you bend the path
to where you need to be

Rise with the sun in your eyes
Look for the truth
If you seek you shall find
Leave all the old ways behind
In your chariot

Wheels blast and wheels bite
run fast to find the light
forward, the highway calls

Straight your fait no need to wait
for now you finally see

Rise with the sun in your eyes
Look for the truth
If you seek you shall find
Leave all the old ways behind
In your chariot

Ride, ride on the wind
let it embrace you
over the green blues
here in your soul
compass and rose
northern and star true
guiding your way though

Ride, ride through the fire
leave it behind you
ashes and old rules
bury the rest
let it be blessed
now you are shining
weaving and winding
singing and smiling


New places and faces
a clever escapist
of people’s and steeples
and metaphysic creatures
whose words can speak wisdoms
dispelling the sadness
if you try to listen
to music and madness

as seasons are burning
and lovers are urning
in silver shine starlight
sky clad in the night bright
for every song is singing
and every one is bringing
a truth to the pleasure
a turn of the weather

Are you running from the one in
side your armor do no harm or
can you come out and see the sky
and when you finally see
where you are meant to be
you’ll be surprised
that you’ve arrived
you’ll be surprised
that you’ve arrived

go chariot
and in a bluest the sky banners waving high
go where you must
and with a sunny smile you wave and travel by
go any way
but if the chariot is hard for you to steer
go every day
it’s in the trying and
takes all the love that you have

The prodigal son
you have now become
with open wings you fly

The winter winds cold
a story of old
but now the new sun shines

The dreaming days gone
and so all along
the treasure always inside

In every place you have the cake
And eat it too
all awaiting your return
You name the game you spoil for fame


and rightly so
all you’ve gathered all you know
Of wins and fails who rode the rails
they long to hear
all are waiting

Wheels burn and wheels break
one learns from what we make
forward, to take the reins

Flesh and bone a single stone
a golden throne
you’re not alone
but where you need to be

Rise with the sun in your eyes
Look for the truth
If you seek you shall find
Leave all the old ways behind
In your chariot

Ride ride on the wind
let it embrace you
now that you’ve come through
one day the road
in ribbons of gold
will lead you back sweetly
then you will see me
where I’ve been waiting
to welcome you home
