Within Fire and Crystal

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
 I
 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
 ...and the stars fell down
