Lyrics for Four Crossed Wands (Spell 181)

[Chorus I:] I'm the Knight of Wands- Yodh is in the name I'm swift and violent: TRANSIENT! The fiery part of Fire- I'm a lightning flash Between the symbol, And the natal force. [Chorus II:] She's the Queen of Wands- H漏 is in the name She's fermenting, yet TRANSMITTING! The watery part of Fire- She's quick to receive Between the surface, And the process of (pro) creation. Kan! King! 51st Hexagram A warrior in complete armor With wand in the left hand and torch in the right. (181) Su! Queen! 17th Hexagram Her crown is topped with a winged sphere, And rayed with flames. (181) [Chorus III:] He's the Prince of Wands- Vau is in the name He's manifesting, but TRANSCENDING! The airy part of Fire- He's the "Dying God!" Between the virtue, And the Leader of his caste. Y庐 King! Y庐 King! 42nd Hexagram A shrouded warrior in full-scale armour- On his chest, he bears the sigil "TO MEGA QHRION." [Chorus IA:] FOUR CROSSED WANDS! 沤 Queen! 沤 Queen! 27th Hexagram Her crown is surged with a disque of the Sun And once again, rayed with fire. [Repeat Chorus IA] "They observe no regular rule in the ordering of their hearts." [Repeat Chorus IA] [Chorus IV:] She's the Princess of Wands- H漏 is in the name She's crystallizing, yet TRANSPOSING! The earthy part of Fire- She's absorbing Between the Silence, And the 10th of May.
