lyrics

I beheld a multitude of which I also was a constituent
standing in countless queues
we’d no idea why but I surmised we had all died
at that moment someone approached and handed me this
“self explanatory” memo:

1:The monsters lose their malice
2: The thunder becomes harmonious
3: The three-headed dog barks thrice
4: Odic lamps are lighted at the corners of the circle
5: Now is the time for manifestations and enchantment.
6: Awakening of the DIAPHANE
7: Lo and behold all your fantastic impossible things
8: The banishment of fear, as well.
9: Shall be revealed when you have understood the rest
10: And the light issues forth from the darkness

And that was it. “Self-Explanatory” proclaimed the title.
They took it for granted we’ll all understand it
but I didn’t. So they said
‘oh, this will help’
Get a load of this – the “Supplementary Memo”:

“ALL AGES HAVE PASSED, AND ALL THINGS,
YET THEY ARE STILL TO COME”.
And as if that wasn’t good enough:
“THE UNIVERSE IS JUST ONE PARTICLE
COMPRISING OUR LIVING SHAPE SHIFTER
WHO’S AS HANDSOME OF A CRITTER
AS YOU’D EVER DREAM.”

Like unto a scintillating radiant sea-serpent of the air
of ever-changing shape and colours
giving rise to time and space.
