Alghazanth - With Black Aureoles

We fell and were dressed in skin

as beasts to roam this labyrinth

the voice of the Cosmic Mind

still echoes in the depths inside



Behold these carnal forms

against a background of gold

with black aureoles



Spirit and matter, the balance and the battle

polarity - the basis of all living and dead

the dragon and the serpent, the higher and the lower

polarity - the basis of all written and said



By a modern means to an ancient end

to pour reason on the minds once bent

the "I" is nought without the "AM"

awareness, light the wick in man



Full of the hunger to absorb more

and to shine it all forth

with black aureoles



Spirit and matter, the balance and the battle

polarity - the basis of all living and dead

the dragon and the serpent, the higher and the lower

polarity - the basis of all written and said



The warmth on our backs

is the same on your chest

and the cold beneath our feet

is the one on your flesh
