And after the ascension, I drifted endlessly through every fragment of space and time, coalescing with the cosmos, divine grace embracing every corner of my shadow, enraptured and enveloped by effervescent light, the holy thread of life unraveling before my weary eyes, my tethered soul released unto the echoed depths of memory, and each and every moment, a universe unto itself, the infinite and unconditional love of the goddess, forever flowing like galactic rivers, resurrecting the broken vessels of flesh and bone, our ghosts a glimpse of grace, an unfolding karma that carries our brittle light back unto the sky
Chorus 1
Cut and cauterized, the festered wounds are bleeding through
Barely blinking eyes still stare
A glimpse of paradise, battered, broken, buried, and betrayed
Be still, my heart
Yippee kai yay mother fucker!
Verse 2
So that we may shine, and burn before the blessed dawn, and with love, leap into the lunar fabric of creation, guided and gifted unto ourselves, the sacred roots of our souls forever nurtured and nourished, growing patiently, glowing like golden pillars of light, intertwined petals sprouted of the source, the stellar soil a-flood with seeds of skin and spirit, and every buried breath, born again of blood, a cherished drop of motion against the ever dancing decay, depthless faith and gratitude, abundant bosom to cradle my fear, able and willing to repair and replace me
Chorus 2
The burning blinding light, bursting through the black and blue
Behold the bleeding night in bloom
A casket wrought of sky, a splintered star, blistered scars
Forged upon the pyre, my pillar growing higher
Thank god, thank god, thank god
Yippee kai yay mother fucker!
