lyrics

There was once an emptiness, that bore from the limitless darkness of its womb, all that would ever be.

For a moment, for an eternity,
A solitary glimmer interrupted Chaos.

From this minuscule ember, burned the passions
of the unimagined eons—

And soon, from the loins of this primeval night, time blossomed, unfolding across the reaches of the chasm.

With time, all that is known
by man and all that he does not know, reached the precipice of being—

And here, the fires of millenia
forged the lustrous aether, under the brown fog of the first dawn.

The dusts of time and matter tumbled forth, as the tumultuous waves of yet unborn seas—

And at last, from the nebulous storm, light emanated, more luminously, than from the most massive stars.

With the birth of light, came the first sound—
A sigh, like Jovian thunder, that roared across the cosmos.

I am told, that the sound can still be, heard by a practiced ear. It is the voice of god,
speaking of all that shall ever be.

In the desert, I first heard this story.
It was night, and I watched flames
leaping from a fire-pit,
as I listened.
