Serafim

I have seen the temples and the altars Built to terrify and to astound Towering like mountains up to heaven Or hiding out of reach below the ground I have seen unfortunates at daybreak Slain atop the gleaming pyramid I saw mothers hand away their newborns Do behold, don't shy away, I did Kadesh, father you almighty The outer spheres of firmament are thine The tragedy of men lies on my shoulders Their vanity and holiness are mine I have seen old crones and teenage women Drowned and stoned and burning at their stakes Or rising through the atmosphere of prayer At quiet country funeral wakes Kadesh, father you almighty The outer spheres of firmament are thine The tragedy of men lies on my shoulders Their vanity and holiness are mine Kadesh, father you almighty The outer spheres of firmament are thine The tragedy of men lies on my shoulders Their vanity and holiness are mine I have seen this blue-bad royal corpses Frozen still on horseback in the snow I have seen civilians and warriors Beneath the fallen walls of Jericho I have seen the cities of the old world Crumble to their core and grind to dust Some were slowly swallowed by the sand waves Others fell by devastating gusts
