Holy Circle 03:39
God exhaled his life breath forming Whirlwinds, particles of dust swirling through the garden thus Quick as that wind passed dust settles There is my life, what it’s worth dust to dust, I am but earth, I sing to thee Behold this hourglass is man standing still, yet shifting sand and look my friends… it moves to its own end Life does not cease in the body it grows, it will not be contained expanding to a higher plane Forms, they lie in silence rotting like cloaks of flesh that once we wore and yours was one I so adored I fancied thee I’ll not forget your hair like serpents strewn your haunted eyes like winter moons unfolding me... I can no longer sleep. Here, within my holy circle, surrounded by a candle cage I’m summoning the mystic sage Come to me oh lord of knowing I beg of thee oh please reveal what lies beyond the cosmic veil, I beg of thee Will my love return to me and lie beneath my canopy I pray to thee, oh lift the veil that I might see. Peering through my magic crystal a deiform appears to me with love beyond mortality Draped in violets and thistles My teraphim of many eyes oh take from me my mortal guise that we might fly, onto the other side of life.

I plant the seed I wait in silent wonder To sun pay heed, he'll raise you from your slumber to stand alone, like me, there will be no other We'll bow our heads, in rain and wind and thunder But you unlike me, through wanting you were summoned here And you unlike me can live without tears I lock the door, and peek through curtained windows I wage a war and I shall will not surrender You have been warned, I chose this alienation I'm not deformed. I am the deformation A pantomime god I cloak myself in tattered robes I raise up my arms and peer through your immortal soul I stalk the mores, in deicidal anger I seek the form, in it's decrepit nature To raise him up and pierce his paraffin skin To deflagrate our nation's Teraphim In his deified state, he blinded every soul on earth Now he closes his eyes and moves towards his second birth He plants the seed. He watched in silent wonder To him pay heed, he'll raise us from our slumber To stand as one, like him, there will be no other We bow our heads, all sisters and all brothers But we unlike him, through wanting we were summoned here But we, just like him, can't live without tears

And on the day of my demise I'd wish not to lie beneath your mortal eyes for only sorrow can they bring I'd much prefer nature's great consistencies such as the sky, the earth, the wind, the trees for they do not cry, nor mourn, nor do they weep nor are they surprised. And when the solemn angel comes I will be ready to depart Deliver my spirit to the sun that I might shine down on all I've left behind for they too will come to join me in the sky I leave you this song so that it will remind when you look at the sky, you'll still feel my eyes Give back my body to the earth please give my poems to all humanity Give my possessions to my enemies For surely they only serve to tie you down To anchor your soul to this unholy ground And now as I pass I see how pointless it was to desire fuel for the fire. And on this darkest night of sleep it would mean more if you would realize though I'm beyond your mortal reach deep in your heart my soul is still alive and it will be there until the day you die then you'll ascend to join me in the sky and we will be one... We will be one.
