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
