Lyrics

In the mind of God The dead sleeping lie And the little cogs, though unmoving Hover over the turning wheel All life is a farce The broken bird is draped over the parts and parts And parts And parts And parts And those who say this world is not The bloody gleaming paradise of blood and jewel Lie Opal and pearl Blood socket castings Ruby, jasmine, jasper and onyx Chalcedon throne and ambergris crown Golden green leafwork scrolled With the far stars pitted With the moonworlds mother all dewy Arrayed with the twinkling lights The woven gold spun gilded Blinking god eyes The spear shafts of heaven The soul dwelling rock holes Are the holders of this world and its dreams I say there is no death, no death We have lived before and shall live again, and again We have slept before and shall sleep again We've danced through the hollow pools And shall rejoice once again To those who say there is no hope I say: liars Liars, liars, liars you are Over the starry dancing stars There is a land Under the sweat-ribbed brow There is a land And this is the globed world of the Pantokrator And finally I've understood I have understood I'm stood Though when I slip sleeping and silently From this brick room of sighs You will not find the history of his personal Visits sewn into my linings, perhaps Nevertheless I understood All this is the break between moment Our eyelids open and close Between is the land Between the time I first was accepted In between your bright bone body Between then and there And the time you, you wept Goodbye my love, goodbye to you, goodbye There in the middle of the forest Actaeon is slain by his own powers In the middle of the forest Eustace meets the criss-crossed stag And there he's taken, caught by the prey All the flowers are blossoming All this world calls to you Domitian, you sleep Domitian, you sleep Dominion, oh, you rule Domitian, oh, you sleep, mother Dominion, father, you rule So this empire is nothing Before me the green fields They stretched out The broken body of a cat glows there The shimmering flies form This empire is nothing J said I guess it is not real This empire is not real I cannot hang words on the silence Everywhere is God's golden light S said You've appeared to me for a reason And I say to herWho do you say I am? Like one better before This empire is nothing Consider the lilies of the field Consider the carnage and massacre Consider the love and embraces Consider the hanging red skies Consider the love of your enemy Consider the hatred of your friend There, oh there, there is the land All the muses shall combine And all the daughters are no longer brought low They are erased In bright fire, God-given, they rejoice And those who deny this world Is the song of the unbroken one Lie This is indeed paradise Come, I shall show you where The stars give birth and sleep And all around you is the blue-green Breath of heavens Do not fear Around you the vast expanse of stars Do not fear This is the great ocean On which the endless waves crash down God is not dead There is no death, I say Come, let me show you where dreams go to When they die Hurry now The sun is descending The shadows wait to play
