promises of the golden dawn - the long afternoon lyrics
stuck in a corner with the book of the law and a
bottle of ether and a question or two about the
right path to follow. it’s like pure jet propulsion
here comes total immersion in the ancient system
the ceremony seems to set the silver sky to smiling
ten potent reasons to believe the light is always shining
a candle in the circle
a shadow in the mirror
a ring of rays and petals
a glass to see it clearer
a deck of cards and portents
a ripple thereupon
a page of silken cyphers
unlock the golden dawn
the middle pillar in the small temple garden is so
blindingly brilliant bathed in words of yeats and machen
stuck in the shadows with the book of the law
do what thou wilt shall be the stick in thy craw
ten potent reasons to believe the light is always shining
the ceremony seems to set the silver sky to smiling
black veils and ruby roses
beyond the outer order
adepts and secret chiefs
and streams of secret splendour
a ritual of reasons
in dreams to carry on
following promises
into the golden dawn
beyond their condemnation
beyond initiation
into the exhalation
that removes the filters from
the light that shines too brightly
