lyrics

A dark Ohm is rising.

Cimmerian shadows bending light.
Putting away stars.

I have seen the Witcher
tempting Nox before dawn.

Conjuring tricks
while the world sleeps.

I make a prayer for the dead.
The Kaddish. Old Aramaic.

I watch the light flicker
as I invoke the Sutras.
Supplications for the deceased.

The Onesiphorus. The Janazah.

I seek the Magus beyond the wall -
find them hidden at the stones
waiting for the star.

They say Poseidon
is on the waves - the great field -
to shake the sun.
