lyrics

I bring the gospel
Of the inanimate world
The world before you came
I seek communion
A Gnostic union
But you see only blame
I am time's ghost
A dread Pentecost
You angrily dismiss
But I am the voice
Of the void below
And all that does not exist

Chorus
Stabat parens dolorosa
The pierced parent, lying
Juxta helix lacrimosa
By the helix, crying
Retexo sacramentum
As the mystery is unwound
Praepararent cellas
All the cells make preparations
Satis omnibus instructis
To obey this invocation
Dum emisit spiritum
As my spirit is unbound
I am the Angel
And the burning bush
That lays golden idols to waste
I am the Stone
That guides your hajj
All normal life erased
I am the Truth
A Tetragrammaton
That controls all life on Earth
Each strand encodes
New flesh that flows
Toward our virgin birth
Chorus

I am a brick
Hurled through your wall
To let our lives take root
We stand as one
You fall apart
From Eden's poisoned fruit
You speak in tongues
To spread our Word
The prophecy remains:
We are the Alpha
And Omega
Without end. Amen.
