Lyrics Sol - Irkallian Oracle

Sol

At the still point of the turning world
Neither flesh nor fleshless
Neither from nor towards
At the still point, there the dance is
But neither arrest nor movement
And do not call it fixity
Where past and future are gathered
Neither movement from nor towards
Neither ascent nor decline
Except for the point, the still point
There would be no dance, and there is only the dance
I can only say, there we have been
But I cannot say where
And I cannot say how long
For that is to place it in time
The inner freedom from the practical desire
The release from action and suffering
Release from the inner and the outer compulsion
Yet surrounded by a grace of sense
A light still and moving
Erhebung without motion
Concentration without elimination
Both a new world and the old made explicit
Understood in the completion of its partial ecstasy
The resolution of its partial horror
Yet the enchainment of past and future
Woven in the weakness of the changing body
Protects mankind from heaven and damnation
Which flesh cannot endure
