The Garden
[Music by Adam Cook; lyrics by R. Michael Cook]
“I insisted that he ought to appear in the temple I built for him; not knowing that he cares only for temples building and not at all for temples built.” – C.S. Lewis, Surprised by Joy
There’s faery in this garden
I cannot bear to hear him sing:
“Thee sculptors all pursuing,
Have embodied but their own;
Round their visions, form enduring,
Marble vestments thou hast thrown;”
There’s faery in my garden
I cannot bear to hear him sing:
“But thyself, in silence winding,
Thou hast kept eternally
Thee they found not, many finding-
I have found thee, wake for me.”
“Hear my voice come through the golden
Mist of memory and hope;
And with shadowy smile embolden
Me with primal death to cope.”
Unreal how freaking great this is! I had no idea Christian inspired metal could be so awesome! I challenge all my fellow black metal lovers to give this 1 man band some attention! His whole body of work is fantastic! VUKARI
