Shards of the Sphere Lyrics

Residing amongst eternity
Experiencing the gravity of time
And the grave nature of limitations

Surrounded on all sides
By the eternally recurring
Spring of knowledge
Yet unable to drink

(Sharing Tantalus' fate, lacking cognizance
Of Plato's object of perfection)

To charm the sphere
Is to control perfection

To possess the sphere
Crystal glowing with white heat
An elusive dream
Like those that slip
Through the fingers of the mind

Entranceways of possibility
Take on a warm effulgence
Through shards of the sphere
Containing a duality of tactile sensations

The ghosts of occurrence
Rattle their chains
And emit mocking tones
But the light of our shards
Illuminates their form...

Translates their speech
And weaves their silvery words
Into grails of knowledge

Forming the fashioned cups
From which we may sip
And collect the droplets of wisdom
That radiate outward
From the fissures within

Incandescent -
The sapient spring

To charm the sphere
Is to alter reality

Entranceways of possibility
Extend dimensions
Relinquish their opaque nature
To our shards of the sphere
