Benediction - Magnificat (Irenicon) lyrics

Follow the bleeder, undamned you decry

Consummate spirits ne'er follow the lie

Open your heart towards that your mind feels

Death is to conquer all that is surreal

Fortune's enlightenment, hopeful rays of light

Dramatic abundance, shattering the night

Grow biting conflict, halted to an end

The future is certain, the hope we defend

MAGNIFICAT

Up holding the righteous, onward march begun

Deftly remoulding a darkened vision

Strength within unity, mind linking mind

Enveloping beauty, the next humankind

The filth that we all have to climb through

The filth we have to take

Suffering it evermore

Irenicon the wake

"My soul doth magnify......

......my spirit has rejoiced

......remembrance of......mercy...

to his seed forever......"

Yet they lead us to the slaughter

Like they lead a horse to water

They can't force us to drink

But we do

MAGNIFICAT.....Throned

Persevere

So teach us to number our days that we may

Push hearts towards wisdom and fade out the grey

Interventions looming on our dawning world

Hope springs eternal, a hope now unfurled

Persevere.

For Julian.
