Lyrics (unofficial)
[rev. Sept. 17, 2016]
No matter how far you go you keep coming back to love
Love that makes this living world go round somehow
The son of god who is himself love, all love
Oh god/star creates the art of sunset and dawn
[in a round]
Brilliance be thy hue
Symphony be thy sound
Glory be thy words
Which tell of forever in a day
Brilliance be thy hue
Symphony be thy sound
Glory be thy words
Which tell of forever in a day
Wander in the daze of cosmic knights, love everything
Dream deep, set love a place in your burning heart
Full of ardour and ardent spring we've awokened here
You tend the blossoming earth, the flowers grow so high
[in a round]
Brilliance be thy hue
Symphony be thy sound
Glory be thy words
Which tell of forever in a day
Brilliance be thy hue
Symphony be thy sound
Glory be thy words
Which tell of forever in a day
Brilliance be thy hue
Symphony be thy sound
Glory be thy words
Which tell of forever in a day
Brilliance be thy hue
Symphony be thy sound
Glory be thy words
Which tell of forever in a day
Move me and I win, I am a player in love's games
And I have created the mornings, dressed in radiance
I am found in the warm meadow, God's inside us
So I love and I dream and I dream and I dream and I dream of love
[in a round]
Brilliance be thy hue
Symphony be thy sound
Glory be thy words
Which tell of forever in a day
Brilliance be thy hue
Symphony be thy sound
Glory be thy words
Which tell of forever in a day

This was part of the David Kenworthy/Steve Kilbey installation "let me play so I can lose my way" at Sydney's 2012 Vivid Festival (May 25-June 11, 2012). Then it was one of the "Love in the digital age" artworks from the traveling installation "Unfinished Mystery; Life in the digital age" (2012-2013).
Here's the text in the sculpture:

of the cosmic knights so love
