lyrics

Apocatastasis

In the light of a dying sun it is time to march the princess home:
tall she stands over foolish kings doomed to welter in gloam.

Using the apostate tyrant as his tool:
crowning the impostor drowning in his drool.

When the mystical rose of the east stands in fullest bloom
and a peacock wails in the garden of the saints;
When the emperor’s new clothes are revealed he shall meet his doom,
as the memory of ancient sages faints.

Now the heavenly fountains of life shall wash away the pain
and a fair wind will blow from the Island of the Blessed.
And as sister and brothers bounded now we all shall be
and the falcon’s hatchlings will leave their golden nest.

In the heart of a hateful man there’s a chamber blank and bare.
In the heart of a loving man there’s a fountain sweet and fair.
