Spectral Lore - The Spiral Fountain lyrics

A breath, formed into the atmosphere Rained down into the oceans Was led into a little stream That fed a spiral fountain From there, drops of ocean blood Fell down into the ground And mixed with the earth Forming patterns, from chaos born A child, full of wonder, arose Destined to walk the gardens of Eden Uncertainty, its parting present Potency its destiny A manifest of cosmic will The child wandered, hunted, killed and Quenched its thirst from the marbled stone And it rejoiced; but as time passed on Discovered there was nothing else to see To hunt, to kill, to drink In despair, the Man turned to his Mother The sight reflected on the water And returned with a vision of Self Transparent, he saw a multitude Of I's, each with the same spiral inside "You, Fountain, who has given me birth You, who grew me into a Man, powerful and sane Save me now from wither, madness and solitude" The Stone laid unmoved, in silence The Stream continued to flow, in perpetual motion The Man understood; yet his soul did not rest But was filled with the Fire of Defiance He stepped into the crooked stone To ascend into the spiral staircase Leading up, into the heavens high Where the Breath of the Father was once uttered At the staircase's end, way above the Earth Nothing laid, but the blackness of space And the one primordial molecule, carrying the Word "No eternity was ever promised to you, Child To travel beyond the Stars, into the marvels of macrocosm You must first conquer the smallest, inner void To reach the point where universes intersect My Word is forgotten, with every division, every new birth Learn me, renew me, reach into the end of my telos."
