Lyrics

Chapter 24

[Verse 1]

All movement is accomplished in six stages

And the seventh brings return

For seven is the number of the young light

It forms when darkness is increased by one

[Chorus]

Change returns success

Going and coming without error

Action brings good fortune

Sunset

[Verse 2]

The time is with the month of winter solstice

When the change is due to come

Thunder in the other course of heaven

Things cannot be destroyed once and for all

[Chorus]

Change returns success

Going and coming without error

Action brings good fortune

Sunset, sunrise

[Verse 1]

All movement is accomplished in six stages

And the seventh brings return

For seven is the number of the young light

It forms when darkness is increased by one

[Chorus]

Change returns success

Going and coming without error

Action brings good fortune

Sunset, sunrise, sunrise

Sunset, sunrise

Sunrise
