letra de the marriage of heaven & hell medley - ashtar

i have always found
that angels have
the vanity to speak of themselves
as the only wise
this they do
with a confident insolence
sprouting from systematic reasoning

thus swedenborg boasts
that what he writes is new
though it is only the contents or
index of already published books

a man carried a monkey about
for a shew and because he was a little
wiser than the monkey
grew vain

and conceived himself
as much wiser than seven men
it is so with swedenborg
he shews the folly of churches and
exposes hypocrites, till he imagines
that all are religious and himself
the single one on earth that ever broke a net

now hear a plain fact
swedenborg has not written one new truth
now hear another
he has written all the old falsehoods
and now hear the reason
he conversed with angels who are all religious
and conversed not with devils who all hate religion
for he was incapable through his conceited notions

thus swedenborgs writings
are a recapitulation of all superficial opinions
and an -n-lysis of the more sublime
but no further
have now another plain fact

any man of mechanical talents may
from the writings of paracelsus or jacob behmen
produce ten thousand volumes of equal value with swedenborg’s
and from those of dante or shakespear
an infinite number
but when he has done this
let him not say that he knows better than his master
for he only holds a candle in sunshine
in the sunshine
in the sunshine
in the sunshine

the eternal female groan’d! it was heard over all the earth:

albion’s coast is sick silent; the american meadows faint!
shadows of prophecy shiver along by the lakes and the rivers and mutter across the ocean: france, rend down thy dungeon;
golden spain, burst the barriers of old rome;
cast thy keys, o rome, into the deep down falling, even to eternity down falling
and weep!
in her trembling hands she took the new born terror howling;
on those infinite mountains of light, now barr’d out by the atlantic sea, the new born fire stood before the starry king!
flag’d with grey brow’d snows and thunderous visages, the jealous wings wav’d over the deep
the speary hand burned aloft, unbuckled was the shield; forth went the hand of jealousy among the flaming hair, and hurl’d the new born wonder thro’ the starry night

the fire, the fire, is falling!

look up! look up! o citizen of london, enlarge thy countenance: o jew, leave counting gold! return to thy oil and wine. o african! black african! (go, winged thought widen his forehead.)
the fiery limbs, the flaming hair, shot like the sinking sun into the western sea
wak’d from his eternal sleep, the h–ry element roaring fled away:
down rush’d, beating his wings in vain, the jealous king; his grey brow’d councellors, thunderous warriors, curled veterans, among helms, and shields, and chariots horses, elephants: banners, castles, slings and rocks
falling, rushing, ruining! buried in the ruins, on urthona’s dens;
all night beneath the ruins, then, their sullen flames faded, emerge round the gloomy king
with thunder and fire: leading his starry hosts thro’ the waste wilderness, he promulgates his ten commands, glancing his beamy eyelids over the deep in dark dismay
where the son of fire in his eastern cloud, while the morning plumes her golden breast
spurning the clouds written with curses, stamps the stony law to dust, loosing the eternal horses from the dens of night
crying: empire is no more! and now the lion & wolf shall cease

[outro]
the fire!
(i have always found)
the fire, the fire, is falling!
(i have always found, that angels have…)
the fire
(i have always found, that angels have…)
the fire, the fire, is falling!
(i have always found, that angels have…)
the fire, the fire, is falling!
(i have always found, that angels have…)
the fire, the fire, is falling!
(i have always found, that angels have…)
the fire, the fire, is falling!
(i have always found, that angels have…)
the fire, the fire, is falling!
(i have always found, that angels have…)
