Lionisis Songtext
von David Eugene Edwards

There is no place
Save here
In the Western set
Where even you o dazzling darkness cannot get
Upon the booth
Upanishad
Kohl black
Red Ochre
Eyes of God
Four fold alight
Upon the lashes
Fallen ashes of your kindred spirit
Stand heavy heart stone scarab
In reflection below the great floor
In the pallor of pall
Familiar spirits all
Clothed in purple
Covering cherub
Starry thrones
Seated stones


Unconquered one
In your shinning outshone
Dragon thou shalt
Rise hidden lion
In the sightless eye
Earth born Orion
At the hands of the moon
Philo Sophia
Here the dead come back
So soon
Snake stricken the muse
Striding solar calf Tammuz
Rung hanging bell of Shiva
Jangling lesser keys
All noble liars
A mountain of curses
Orphic the pool
The pool inside her
Oracle rise
And rightly divide
Lapping flames
Sing it′s verses
Starry thrones
Seated stones
Unconquered one
You of starry bone
You are your own
Unconquered sun
Self sown rose
Rose of Sharon
Dragon thou shalt
Rise hidden lion
In the sightless eyes
Earth born Orion
Dragon thou shalt
Rise hidden lion
In the sightless eyes
Earth born Orion
You of starry bone
You are your own
Unconquered sun
In your shinning outshone
