Song: I Stand At the Gates - Radha Krishna Temple in Utah

The world is shouting outside the stone
But I’m the master on this throne
I watch the clouds begin to gray
But I decide what’s here to stay

The screen is glowing with a bitter light
Feeding the fire and the restless night
They speak of shadows and the Great Divide
Trying to find a way to get inside
But if I open up the heavy door
I’ll lose the ground that I’m standing for
I see the anger, and I see the blame
But I won’t let them whisper my name

I am the ruler of this city, the keeper of the keys
I won’t let the madness bring me to my knees
I stand at the gates where the wild winds blow
And I choose the seeds that I’m going to grow
Peace is the law and the light is my shield
To the noise of the world, I will never yield

When judgment clouds and the memory fades
We lose our way in the dark arcades
The intellect falls when the heart is blind
Leaving the wreckage of a broken mind
So I’ll be the sentry on the highest wall
Watching the tides as they rise and fall
I’ll keep the waters of my spirit clear
Keeping the joy that I hold so dear

One breath for clarity, one for the soul
Reclaiming the power, taking control
The pollution stops at the edge of the gate
I am the master of my own state

The walls are strong, the heart is free
I am the ruler of my city
I am the ruler…
Of my city.
