Lyrics of 'The Play Of Life' by Sub Rosa

The Conductor
Before you’re allowed to find our Circle
I must warn you about the perils
You may hurt yourself and be lost
So, I’ll be your guide and lead you

I’ll join my light to yours
Then you may find your way for Eastern Path
The Chaplain
You’re not welcome in here
But I salute the endeavor
I'm your soul’s counsellor
But I can’t help you here, now

So, I’ll join my light to yours
And pray for it to help you along the Path

Reach for the protection
You can find within your faith and go ahead
The Matre
When the end of life is near
You shall not be in fear
You’ve found a Mother in me
Who prays for your wellbeing

Let me join my light to yours
And give you all the bliss of Golden West

I’ll be waiting here for you
When it comes the time for your soul to rest
The Pilgrim
I have to find what lies beneath my scars
Catching their lights along the Path
One I'm no more
Oh, crowd from my past
Keep me forwards and lead my steps

The Conductor
Oh, Master! This neophyte is travelling the four winds of the visible world under my protection and with the blessing of the Chaplain and the Great Matre. Now, he faces the Northern Portal to meet the Umbral Guardian. When he, at last, gets to you, please allow him to join our Inner Circle
Great is his value, I do declare, because he has given his own life to risk under the proofs of the Four Principles. With the Light of each of us, he must proceed to trials laid ahead

The Guardian
Dark North is where you stand now
My Lair at Deathly Meadows
I am the Sword Bearer
The Ritual’s Blind Protector

I can’t now grant my protection
But you can find some within yourself

Then I’ll join my light to yours
And hope your weakness may become your strength

The Master
I'm glad you’ve found the East
Where you can join our Circle
Your journey ends in here
But you shall not be in fear

Let me join my Light to yours
And send you to the Crypts of Eastern Sands

Listen to the Spells of Black
And take heed of the words of the White Maid

The Pilgrim
I have to find what lies beneath my scars
Catching their lights along the Path
One I'm no more
Oh, crowd from my past
Dark Night of Soul is growing fast
The snow-white Dove
The words of Death
Keep me forwards and lead my steps
The snow-white Dove
The words of Death
Keep me forwards and lead my steps

The Vestal Colombes
Beware the Envy, beware the Intolerance
Beware the Inconstancy, beware the Lies
Beware the Vanity and all addiction
That Man has built to destroy the Light
