Panacea, cure all that ails me and fill my veins with life
Aqua vitae, draw clarity to my eyes
And post colour through my mind
The sheen of glass, glistening with the beads of sweat
That flow like sand through the hourglass
While burning coals from the fire unkempt dance
A waltz in the throat, dry river flow
All facets of life feel the glow

Ten long years of folly, trials, and tears
And now my opus has arrived
One mere step into this orphaned land
And you become its child
When the shadows fold their hands
And drag impurities away
Then the unity of opposites reveals
I am presented with the torch
And lunar consciousness prevails

Fusing spirit with the matter of the earth
The desert moans and my legend’s writ in sand
But every grain weaves tales and histories of man
The earth speaks and its voice is of one tongue
And the falcon’s marriage with wind is one of love
Lure of gold, when the aether melts away
Triumph of gold, as the sun hides in shame
Lure of gold, when the aether melts away
Triumph of gold, as the stars blush with pride
