lyrics

* The Emerald Tablet
then the djinn spoke, then he spoke
my father is the sun, my mother the moon
born from the wind’s womb, suckled by earth
time is no time, child of the sky
wonders and powers are my gift

then the djinn spoke, then he spoke
without any falsehood, certain and true
i am the brightness, glory of all
earth become fire, fire become earth
wonders and powers are my gift

then the djinn spoke, then he spoke
my father is the sun, mother the moon
i am the light of lights, gentle and wise
this on my honour, darkness will flee
wonders and powers are my gift
