lyrics

herefore i proclaim it thus
love me
hate me
know me
sail me
come but as ever doth reign
in the knowing of me
come but as ever doth reign
in the knowing of me

whosoever maketh me a mockery
know thus hence
fell
in cells of thee i speak and count all arbiters
belling forth the wave of suns
thou hast searched for parts of me in the stars of the heavens
and seeth me as ships and beings of other intents
thou hast taken me and my name and called upon it thus
torn it down to mere shreds of life
hereforth i resurrect mine own self in thy name
and save

love me hate me
know me sail me

willst soon the timing come
willst the moon reflect thy sun
surely falls the sweet at thy feet
and furnish joy in allst i hath created?

tis me that leads thee
tis me that halts thee
tis me that breathes thee through the end of all beginnings
thou callst many names in my name
yet relinquish the mercy of me

how canst thee find protection amidst nought but me?
verily i say unto thee
that savages and beasts are me empting thee to rise
forgotten are my cities yet i hath come to remember
to recall the streets of golden lilies that i hath created for thee
see the man on the hilltop?
waving assured as time fells him?
see the woman with the hair of my bride?
come to wed him thus?

in centres of this earth hath i proclaimed a city
a dome of power thou mortal minds canst not behold
whilst thee worries and frets of dragons and snakes
know that i reside thee
in the centre of this land
hollow caverns
dark brothers
mere reflections of my light

i hold a torch for thee that eternal burns
ne'er blinking nor retrieving
any word of mine
liberate thy seed of me
show me henceforth that thou hast risen
walk in my light and turn as e'er to see my enemies
thy foes are friends of me
how they come to urge thee
move

love me hate me

come but as ever doth reign
in the knowing of me
come but as ever doth reign
in the knowing of me
tis me that leads me
tis me that halts thee
tis me that breathes thee through the end of all beginnings
tis me that leads me
tis me that halts thee
tis me that breathes thee through the end of all beginnings
love me
hate me
know me
sail me
love me
hate me
know me
sail me

love me
