Erlik-Khan

Over the bridge,
Thin as a horse hair,
Guide me, Erlik-khan,
Over bottomless lakes,
Black as midnight
Lead me, Erlik-khan.

Beyond life, beyond death,
Beyond reason
Guide me, Erlik-khan.
To the worlds
Of unseen and unspoken
Lead me, Erlik-khan.

Fill my drum with your breath,
Fill my brain
With your endless wisdom,
Tear my eyes out of sockets
And teach me true vision.

Fill my words with your might
Fill my lungs with scents of decay
Cut my flesh
With your crescent shaped axe
And make me one
With hidden worlds.

Beyond life, beyond death,
Beyond reason
Guide me, Erlik-khan.
To the worlds
Of unseen and unspoken
Lead me, Erlik-khan.
