Lyrics
O My Brother!
Take thou the step of the spirit...
A lover is he who is chill in hell fire;
A knower is he who is dry in the sea.
O My Brother!
Take thou the step of the spirit…
…thou shalt see with thine own eyes…
…and shalt know of thine own knowledge…
O My Brother!
Take thou the step of the spirit…
Within every blade of grass are enshrined…
…the mysteries of an inscrutable Wisdom…
O My Brother!
Take thou the step of the spirit…
Write all that We have revealed unto thee…
…with the ink of light upon the tablet of thy spirit.
O My Brother!
