Holy Libations

Familiarity trickles down through the narrow corridors of faith In the pathways of Jerusalem I breathe Nature's grace, radiantly glowing cold, she pours the wine onto my flesh I bathe in the stream, I wash away the ash Throughout the vastness of time - Alone, alone Throughout the vastness I climb - Alone, alone Twice born - blood is spilled from the cups of ghosts Twice born - close the eyes to receive the host Precedence is given to the dreamer Precedence is given to the brave In catacombs I dance the dance of Death, I run away from fear In illo tempore, was that so, where do we go from here? We are naked in the darkness, we are one Yet there is solitary in the vast expanse of mind, the threshold to eternity We all find ourselves wandering through the pastures of Arcadian splendor Are we going to the time before time? Remember, remember Throughout the vastness of time - Alone Throughout the vastness I climb - Alone, alone Ever closing in on the shadows of the strange attractor A return to a paradise that we have lost
