Joy, beautiful spark of Divinity,
Daughter of Elysium,
We enter, drunk with fire,
Heavenly one, thy sanctuary!
Thy magic binds again
What custom strictly divided;
All shall become brothers,
Where thy gentle wing abides.

Through tightened block
Cleat the sail
Hike broadly your head
Past the rail
In the furious waves
That beckon hail
Tame the ocean
By line and hand
Deep into the mist
Far away from land

A world made of change
of life lived in waves
cyclical self destruction
each crest heralds graves
searching for a sublime lie
for something that saves
an escape from the grip
of the great facade
for the son so loved the world
that he killed his only god

Blazed into the sky, the brilliance of day
Darkness cowered and clouds cast away
Amber voices beamed down on me
Angels sing and choir pray
And in my veins, drums beat
Around me the wind rose,
And I felt it rise in my lungs
I turned my face into the blinding light




I saw daybreak
And from out of the night
Came searing forth the brilliant sun
In blazing rays angels sang
Crying how bright
All was brought into the day
Trapped in amber light
Burn and rave, rising sun
An indomitable, eternal will
Above all rises one
Upon emerald meadows
And shimmering crystal seas
Golden fire rains down
Upon the cold winter’s breeze
The taste of honey at last
