Time-Honored Customs

### Time-Honored Customs (Verse 1) He who changes time-honored customs and ways, Alters the hymns, the poetical praise. "God is unchanging," the Kalir we recite, But if he speaks other words, he dims the light. (Chorus) "Remove not the ancient landmark," they say, Set by our fathers, guiding our way. "Thou shalt not remove thy neighbor's mark," For in these traditions, we find our spark. (Verse 2) The poetical insertions, a sacred blend, Passed down through ages, from friend to friend. To change these words, to break this chain, Is to transgress, to bring disdain. (Chorus) "Remove not the ancient landmark," they say, Set by our fathers, guiding our way. "Thou shalt not remove thy neighbor's mark," For in these traditions, we find our spark. (Bridge) In every hymn, in every line, Lies the wisdom of ancient time. Respect the customs, honor the past, For in their keeping, our faith will last. (Chorus) "Remove not the ancient landmark," they say, Set by our fathers, guiding our way. "Thou shalt not remove thy neighbor's mark," For in these traditions, we find our spark. (Outro) He who changes the time-honored lore, Disrupts the peace, the ancient core. Hold fast to the customs, let them remain, For in their embrace, we break the chain.
