I Saw a Dying Child in Your Arms - Mourning Beloveth

I saw a dying child in your arms

Like a vapour exhaled by the earth doomed to arrive nowhere

For in the darkness we must fall back on our own woven seed

And you would think I would go meet those primal beasts

For I had such things to attend

Strange witchcraft, with their drums and their dancing

We could not understand because we did not remember

The mind can do everything because of what is in it…

All of the past and all of the future truth

Stripped of its cloak of time for the devil can bee too much a devil to be seen

But most of us fall between fool and devil not able to see the heavenly earth

So it’s a standing place where we must endure all the sights and sounds

And the smell of rotting flesh

No longing for the gallows between butcher and divine

The empires of the future are the empires of the mind

With no memories of coffins

Or the graves today

From envious uprisings

The squalor of life

With blood through the ages

As the world goes on and on

There will never be enough
