The Sacrament of Blood and Ash |
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 |
