...And Oceans
As in Gardens, So in Tombs
1. As in Gardens, So in Tombs
The connection between
the seen and the unseen
The bond of the scared
and the ordinary
To vibrate as one, to resonate
as hundred an ten
As strings where time and place
does not matter
Blow your whistle,
controller of the multiverse
As in chants, so in pillars
Reconnect us to the above
Reveal your starry skies
Plant your flowers,
generator of preservation
As in gardens, so in tombs
Becoming one with that pulse
As I drown in your binaural beats
The sum of the vowels,
The subtraction of consonants
Opening of doors to the beyond
Show us the future
Reveal the past
The connection between
The visible and the hidden
The link between
spirit and nature
To vibrate as one to resonate
as hundred and ten
As layers where time and place
does not matter
Blow your whistle,
controller of the multiverse
As in chants, so in pillars
Reconnect us to the above
Reveal your starry skies
Plant your flowers,
Generator of preservation
As in gardens, so in tombs
Becoming one with that pulse
As I drown in your binaural beats
2. The Collector and His Construct
Into steep stairs leading above
the pawn is moved
wearing his reverence as an adornment,
forged from manuscripts
Adorned in flowers
the apostle gives birth to the skies
For the obedient,
golden pillars as pediments will rise
Into deep waters flowing below
the venturer is thrown
Wearing his insurgency as a weight,
cast in heresy
Iconoclastic, the zealot is drowned
Orgiastic, the libertine is scorned
Adored in flowers
the apostle gives birth to the skies
For the obedient,
golden pillars as pediments will rise
There in shrines, under signs
by dogma paralyze
In between golden walls
of the collector and His construct
Minds grow stems to the sky
under the promise of eternal fire
In abundance in golden halls
of the collector and His construct
Upheave the philanthropist,
the believer dressed in gold
contributor to the greater good,
cleansed in honey and milk
Cast down the recipient,
the apostate that umbra dressed
Malefactor to the greater good,
by the ankle, weighed down
Iconoclastic, the zealot is drowned
Orgiastic, the libertine is scorned
Adored in flowers
the apostle gives birth to the skies
For the obedient,
golden pillars as pediments will rise
There in shrines, under signs
by dogma paralyze
In between golden walls
of the collector and His construct
Minds grow stems to the sky
under the promise of eternal fire
In abundance in golden halls
of the collector and His construct
3. Within Fire and Crystal
Carried by clouds and stars,
Through tongues of fire
towards the crystal walls
Surrounded by the splendid
and the marvelous
"Within dwellings of fire and crystal,
I saw the ends of the earth
whereon immortality rests,
and the portals were open
And I saw how the stars
of the skies come forth,
and I counted the portals
out of which they proceed,
Wrote down all their outlets;
of each individual star by itself,
according to their number, their names,
their connexions, their positions,
their times and their months,"
An invitation to approach the One
In front of thousand times thousand
Upon a pillar of sun
I,
Observer of orbs
Watcher of the spheres
Revelator of all the secrets
The Head of Days and
Sons of Man
And the stars came falling down
Painted the sky with silver stripes
In a brief moment of clarity
The stars revealed themselves
as seraphs
...and the stars fell down...
4. Carried on Lead Wings
Sanctity, elevated, winged
Dealer of life and death
Transcendent manifestation of strength
Coercion in absolute silence stands
Godhead, winged nymph of Styx
Divider of life and death
Force, strength and emulations old
Golden feathers turned to lead
Demigod, source of strength and skill
Sold as tools of harm to the next one above
Primary enforcer, an extension of his will
Reason lost for the sole purpose of the decanter to refill
Heroine, in silence you stand
The only one strong enough to bind in eternal rock and unbreakable chains
Your eagle to inflict vexation and unbearable pains
Impiety, lowered, unwinged
Beheaded, abandoned in debris
Demigod, source of envy and zeal
Sold as tools of jealousy tot he next one above
Secondary enforcer, another extension of his will
Reason lost for the sole purpose of their cups to refill
Sanctity, once more elevated, winged
Lead feathers turned golden
Cast in stone upon high stairs
In awe of the many
Lift her up to influence the vastness of numbers
5. Likt törnen genom kött
Ur led är tiden bland kvistar, klädd i siden
I förgörelse evigt lovord sjunga
Där i mörker finna naturens glömda tunga
Och där bland skuggorna, när löven viskar var sång
Att i evighet stiga ner
Av eviga stämmor bli en del
Vid sidan av tiden under törnen, i tjäle föruriden
Var i skarseld pä själar förevigt tugga
I ljuslöst hav, i ändlös skugga
I skuggspelens glömda, dunklaste vrå
I djupa vatten där vatten där stillhet rår
I skuggspelens glömda, dunklaste vrå
I djupa vatten där ingen på oss rår
Och där bland skuggorna, när löven viskar var sång
Att i evighet stiga ner
Av eviga stämmor bli en del
Där var törnen växer vilt
Att bland skuggor i höstens vävnad bekläs
6. Cloud Heads
The monumental thinker without skin or flesh
The boundless author without bones nor breath
Enthrall
The giant head speaks
Prostrate
The colossal mouth orates
Justify
The wordless tongue spoke
Construct
As the Herculean lungs breathe
Minds within the clouds
The inner voices purify
Heads within the skies
That cleanse you from inside
Consciousness absorbed into magnetic current and then that new day
After seasons of poison infliction
By the turnstile in dismay
Whispers in smoke
Faces in the wind
Enthrall
The giant head speaks
Prostrate
The colossal mouth orates
Justify
The wordless tongue spoke
Construct
The fearful eyes guard
The monumental thinker without skin or flesh
The boundless author without bones nor breath
Minds within the clouds
The inner voices purify
Heads within the skies
That cleanse you from inside
Consciousness absorbed into magnetic current and then that new day
After seasons of poison infliction
By the turnstile in dismay
..and then that new day...
Whispers in the smoke
Faces in the wind
7. Wine into Water
Pacing backwards towards the shores
Time reversing as we grow scales
Drain the deepest of seas
Turn deserts into mountains
Crawling back into the caves
Where the past is the future
And yet once again we'll harvest the grapes
Turn them into wine and turn it right back into water
In dim lights where we reach for diffuse shapes
Is where we find our coming past selves
Counter-intelligent ways to absolution
Symbiotic relations unsanctioned impure
Regression is also a form of evolution
Tabula rasa, where we start born anew
With the intention to create life
We actually more likely destroyed
Counter-intelligent ways to absolution
Symbiotic relations unsanctioned, impure
Regression is also a form of evolution
Tabula rasa, where we start born anew
8. Inverse Magnification Matrix
Within the framework, it appears like a spectre
Formula from the great deep outside known bounds
Enhance your floating objects right before our eyes
Reveal our axis as one of the myriads
Bring forth your circular, symmetrical gods
As rays of light begin to shear
Bent like sun rays through the looking glass
Beyond falling skies into the deepest, darkest depths where light rays are scattered by the gravitational well
Magnify
What's hidden behind the veil
Rectify
What's concealed beneath the cloak
Bring forth your circular, symmetrical gods
As rays of light begin to shear
Bent like sun rays through the looking glass
Giant cosmic lens, reveal what lies beyond where light rays are scattered by the gravitational well
Outside the framework within deeper, darker depths
The inverse magnification matrix
There among secrets beyond our grasp
Where axes are revealed as parts of the myriads
9. The Earth Canvas
Faces, shapes
Carved in stone
Patterns, forms
Lines were drawn
Trenches, chasms
The earth canvas
Beacons, lanterns
The hidden standards
What's seen in the blue and green can also be found in the red
The sharpened triangular apex
The placement of the horizon
From clay the first to arise
To soar high up in vapor
In feathers to return as the guardian facing west
From sand the last to arise
To soar high up in dust
In ornaments to return as the guardian from the 4th
Faces, shapes
Carved in stone
Patterns, forms
Lines were drawn
What's seen in the blue and green can also be found in the red
The sharpened triangular apex
The placement of the horizon
Pictures from thoughts and dreams transforming parts of the landscape
Derived from oceans and streams
Foretelling the future by revealing the past
10. Ambivalent God
Pale constructor
The towers you had raised
Spires to the skies
Vaults for adoration
Wordless communicator
Speaking without tongue
Dialogues with the stars
Whisperings in silence
Circular constrictor
Trapped in your recurrence of times
Captured on this constant journey
Gates to doors behind doors
Faceless conductor
No face behind your mask
Expression dressed in shadows
Unadorned this vessel to steer
Seamless forgiver
Your compassion knows no bounds
Stripped of earthly possessions
Abundance traded for absolution
Skinless forbidder
Prostration caused by fear of harm
Free will bent to your legislation
No aptitude for flames
Pale constructor
Wordless communicator
Circular constrictor
Faceless conductor
Pale constructor
Wordless communicator
Seamless forgiver
Skinless forbidder
