Feet to hip Nave to breast Throat to brain And skin arrange

Now we're one soul

Through my great arteries To every blade of grass A universe, A path (Hearing) A primal energy A creation is born on sympathetic chords

(Healing) Adam's murmur A Sanskrit alphabet Unholy apple tree The Seven flowers

Feet to hip Nave to breast Throat to brain And skin arrange

A hole inside my chest I tap my heart to test A harmony within A merciful creation

(Healing) Adam's murmur A Sanskrit alphabet Unholy apple tree The Seven flowers

Feet to hip Nave to breast Throat to brain And skin arrange

Feet to hip Nave to breast Throat to brain And skin arranged

Now we're one soul

My Interpretation

"A creation is born on sympathetic chords [cords]"

"Sympathetic" here, I believe, is referring to the sympathetic nervous system, part of the autonomic nervous system.

"Chords" (or cords) is perhaps playing on both a musical reference (relating musical chords to life and feeling), and to all of the "cords" of nerve tissue running down from the brain, through the spine, and out to various organs.
