Reykjavik (When It Rains, It Pours; Part 2)

lyrics

In the beginning, she rose naked from the chaos,
Sea from sky divided - she dances on the waves...

With eyes shut tight she conjures silent cadence,
Flailing limbs cleave paths in the nothingness.
Beads of sweat, cast into the sky,
Constellations chart the pattern of her steps.
Thorn from rose; consort brought to life, with a kiss,
and the heavens beating in his chest.
In Unio, waves crash all around,
Eye of the storm - the north wind fans the flames.

Thus sparked the advent of the coming age of man.
Perfect and holy offspring of Elysian.

Two by two; primordial architects,
Bound by fire to create the world in her image.
Satisfied, she laid her bones upon the earth,
Mountains spraying mothers milk their sustenance, reward.
One begat the next; the torches passed, their charges set,
To populate the earth with beasts of their own design.
All lay beneath the watchful eye, the guiding light,
Basking in the glow of soul, spirit, fury, fire,
Just like the perfect blueprint, the best-laid plans are easily torn - rent asunder.

The avarice of gods and man will turn the purest heart black!
Because enough is never enough...
