8. A Jewel Traced Through Coal (5:16)
Through moors and mists of deception
The uninitiated are conjoined
Illusive bliss feeds obsession
A feeble orientation is provoked
Inflammatory bonds will be broken
Being the shepherd no more
Yearning for that ever glowing token
In ongoing lore
Images appear before my eyes
At any given time
Burdened bearing all their lies
Leaping laughter and secret smiles
Inflammatory bonds will be broken
Being the shepherd no more
Yearning for that ever glowing token
In ongoing lore
The treasure lies not in regression
But in reaching the levels of becoming
That harboured within us for centuries
Centuries of long lost knowing
Spirit and matter defined
Spirit and matter refined
The upper planes accessed
Insight and co-alliance addressed
Spirit and matter defined
Spirit and matter refined
The uninitiated are conjoined
Illusive bliss feeds obsession
A feeble orientation is provoked
Inflammatory bonds will be broken
Being the shepherd no more
Yearning for that ever glowing token
In ongoing lore
Images appear before my eyes
At any given time
Burdened bearing all their lies
Leaping laughter and secret smiles
Inflammatory bonds will be broken
Being the shepherd no more
Yearning for that ever glowing token
In ongoing lore
The treasure lies not in regression
But in reaching the levels of becoming
That harboured within us for centuries
Centuries of long lost knowing
Spirit and matter defined
Spirit and matter refined
The upper planes accessed
Insight and co-alliance addressed
Spirit and matter defined
Spirit and matter refined
