A Passion Play (Part 1)

Hail son of kings, make the ever-dying sign
Cross your fingers in the sky for those about to be
There am I waiting along the sand
Cast your sweet spell upon the land and sea

Magus Perde, take your hand from off the chain
Lose a wish to still the rain, the storm about to be
Here am I, voyager into life
Tough are the soles that tread the knife's edge

Break the circle, stretch the line, call upon the devil
Bring the gods, the gods' own fire
In the conflict revel

The passengers upon the ferry crossing, waiting to be born
Renew the pledge of life's long song rise to the reveille horn
Animals queueing at the gate that stands upon the shore
Breathe the ever-burning fire that guards the ever-door

Man, son of man, by the flame of ever-life
Yours to breathe and breath the pain of living, living be
Here am I, roll the stone away
From the dark into ever-day
