Lyrics for 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
