Threshold of Light

{slow swell of majestic pipe organ} {warm analog

synthesizers

building slowly} {distant, clean electric guitar with shimmering reverb} I stood upon

the edge of time

Where glass and gold

together shine

The water still, the air so bright

Bathed in a quiet,

holy light {soft, warm fingerpicked acoustic guitar enters} And every breath

felt like a prayer

A weightless joy

within the air (ahhhh)

{subtle bass pedal and soft percussion enter}

Standing on the shore

of Heaven

It was glorious

and beautiful

Standing on the shore

of Heaven

Underneath a sky

of gold

{full dynamic swell, crashing cymbals,

soaring electric

lead} No shadow fell,

no sorrow stayed

The old world's dust

began to fade

I saw the gates,

I saw the stone

An endless grace

I'd never known

Standing on the shore

of Heaven

It was glorious

and beautiful

Standing on the shore

of Heaven

Underneath a sky

of gold

{huge anthemic peak, driving drums,

soaring high harmonies}

Glorious,

glorious

Beautiful

beyond my sight (glorious) Beautiful,

beautiful

Standing in

the infinite light {intimate breakdown,

piano and voice only}

It was glorious

and beautiful... (glorious...) {piano notes fade slowly} {synthesizer pad hums into silence}

{distant

church

bell tolls once}
