Theory: chromatic breakdown

Interpretation: hymn to Isis, holder of the words of the power of life

 

Draped in vaulted midnight, a child glowing moonlight

No limit to her sight, gazing far and wide

Across cursed lands, swamped in disease

Where decay stands, health shall cease

Across cursed lands, her vision spans

Discovering lies, discovering greed

Disturbed by almost everything seen until

 

Fauns strike their song, and a thousand revels begin

Lifting the feet of those who the celebration attend

May I please the Goddess now, with rosewater, perfume and oils

May I please the Goddess now, her regalia of silk, jade and pearl

 

Raucous Bacchus in harmony with satyric Pan

Obliterated by mirth and company of this merry band

May I please the Goddess now, sacrifice wine and food for a feast

May I please the Goddess now, Her Queendom Come, Her Will be done

As below so above

 

(chorus)

 

Suffering leads to art, that surrounds her with forms barring strife

Sound guiding motion releases the power of life

May I please the Goddess now, the horn of plenty laden with fruit

May I please the Goddess now, praise Her Grace and Her nightingale voice

In Her presence rejoice
