All through the night
I'll be awake and I'll be with you
All through the night
This precious time when time is new
Oh, all through the night today
Knowing that we feel the same without saying
We have no past, we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends, there is no end
All through the night
Stray cat is crying so stray cat sings back
All through the night
They have forgotten what binding they lack
Oh under those white street lamps
There is a little chance they may see
We have no past, we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends, there is no end
Oh the sleep in your eyes is enough
Let me be there, let me stay there awhile
We have no past, we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end
I'll be awake and I'll be with you
All through the night
This precious time when time is new
Oh, all through the night today
Knowing that we feel the same without saying
We have no past, we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends, there is no end
All through the night
Stray cat is crying so stray cat sings back
All through the night
They have forgotten what binding they lack
Oh under those white street lamps
There is a little chance they may see
We have no past, we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends, there is no end
Oh the sleep in your eyes is enough
Let me be there, let me stay there awhile
We have no past, we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end

Our eternal home is without time or punishment. But once we start the darkness of material existence, "the meter[s]" of both time and karmic debt click. We age, and we fear death. And just as a meter measures the amount of a bill, so does our karmic debt accrue through multiple lifetimes. Until it ends--until we transcend material existence, and time, and karma; until ego consciousness reunites with the divine, and the fallen world reunites with the pleroma, there is no end.
Our twin stray cat, Sophia, whose disastrous departure from the pleroma brought material existence into being, answers our plaintive cries. She sends the Christos to reside deep in our consciousness, hidden from the rulers of this world. The "white street lamps," the bhoditsavas, the pneumatics, have awakened their inner Christs. They've delayed their return to the pleroma to shine their light to show us the road home. There is a little chance we might see.
