lyrics

It’s petrifying to think about how settling in our ways
Sets us up for cynicism almost every single day
How human history is just an homage to a culture
Of the rape and desecration of our Great Mother
I think of death all day, but that’s not too often

For if we persist to deny what the past has shown us
That every single action taken is meaningfully purposeless
Our wounds will never heal from the pain passed onto us.

Be brave young starling, for you’ve known this all along
Sing out singed corvid, your value lies in all others

Gather round Earthseed, sing your hearts unto me
Tell your sorrows and your fears and stories of ecstasy
Our world is not much more, than a collective dream
Multiplicited in seeing, but one soul underneath

Like moths and butterflies we float for a moment
In time seeking a light, a key, greedy for a glimmer of reality
That fluorescent black that stares back at you
From within your lover’s eye.

But trapped in a spider’s web by Daedalus’ design
Our reflections become dead ends as the horned one closes in.
When the thread runs out, you can only let go
And wander down that path into the unknown.
Where sirens sing till sunrise and Charon’s your best friend
Diana is respected by her betrothed husband,
Pan imbues us all with a magical spirit
Soul grafted into the flesh of all being.

Moonlight masquerades twilight creatures on a beach
As waves break, recede, break, repeat
A scene cast by the dauntless dune glass
Residing still, the Watchers on the hill, patiently
In retrospect, a memory of a wave yet to crash
Residing still, the Watchers on the hill.
Waiting knowing well that this too soon will pass
And that all is one love and love all one is.
