To the teeth of the silver lion The lamb has willingly bared its throat A husk of mud shall turn into dust Cast off shall be the profane robe In the fiery belly of the iron lion The corpse of the lamb will burn Until the remains of this offering Float out from the bellowing urn A pool of blood Becomes a crimson sea And thus a smouldering seed Grows into a flaming tree The age-old lie of shielding feather wings Overthrown by the reality of forked tongues And a torch lit between the horns The image in the obsidian mirror Shows a newly-risen luminous man Standing within a circle of warm ash With his foot upon the skull of the lamb Like a depthless ocean is the awakened soul Yet not an infinity abyss of darkness But one embracing a single sun A pool of blood Becomes a crimson sea And thus a smouldering seed Grows into a flaming tree
