Lyrics:

[English]

Carried by clouds and stars

Through tongues of fire

Towards the crystal walls

Surrounded by the splendid

And the marvelous

"Within dwellings of fire and crystal

I saw the ends of the earth

Whereon immortality rests

And the portals were open

And I saw how the stars

Of the skies come forth

And I counted the portals

Out of which they proceed

Wrote down all their outlets

Of each individual star by itself

According to their number, their names

Their connexions, their positions

Their times and their months,"

An invitation to approach the One

In front of thousand times thousand

Upon a pillar of sun

Observer of orbs

Watcher of the spheres

Revelator of all the secrets

The Head of Days and

Sons of Man

The Head of Days and

Sons of Man

And the stars came falling down

Painted the sky with silver stripes

In a brief moment of clarity

The stars revealed themselves

As seraphs

...and the stars fell down

...
