Remove the veils you do not need
And cross the threshold
To the very edge
Of your humanity.
What once was yours
You must get rid of
Take the plunge and swim
Then rise above debris.
And cross the threshold
To the very edge
Of your humanity.
What once was yours
You must get rid of
Take the plunge and swim
Then rise above debris.
O ruby bloodwhich flowed from on highwhere divinity touched.
Embrace the sentiments
You thought made you weak
And build a grand cathedral
From your tears.
You are the secret gardner
In a place nearby,
A place sometimes called Eden
Sometimes sweet, sometimes vile.
You thought made you weak
And build a grand cathedral
From your tears.
You are the secret gardner
In a place nearby,
A place sometimes called Eden
Sometimes sweet, sometimes vile.
You are a flowerthat the winterof the serpent's breathcan never injure.
Turn your wind whipped face
Towards the eclipsed sun
A voice behind you whispers:
"Your time has come."
A voice behind you whispers:
"Your time has come."
