In the mind of God 
The dead sleeping lie 
And the little cogs though unmoving 
Hover over the turning wheel 
All life's a farce 
The broken bird is draped over the paths 
And paths and paths and paths 
And those who say this world is not 
The bloody gleaming paradise of blood and jewel 
Lie 
Opal and pearl bloodsocket castings 
Ruby jasmine jasper and onyx 
Chalcedonthrone and ambergriscrown 
Golden green leafwork 
Scrolled with the farstars 
Pitted with the moonworlds 
Mother alldewey 
Arrayed with the twinkling lights 
The wovengold spungilded blinking godeyes 
The spearshafts of heaven 
The souldwelling rockhomes 
Are... 
Dormition and Dominion 
Dormition and Dominion 
The Mother is dead 
The Mother awakens 
Dormition 
She sleeps 
Dominion 
He rules 
She sleeps and rules 
In her starry bodied glory 
The Mother sleeps 
The Mother loves 
Dormition and Dominion 
I wait 
...Are the holders of the world and its dreams 
I say there is no death 
No death 
We have lived before and shall live again 
And again 
We have slept before and shall sleep again 
We have danced through the shallow pools 
And shall rejoice once again 
To those who say there is no hope 
I say liars 
Liars 
Liars you are 
Over the starry dancing stars 
There is a land 
Under the sweatribbed brow 
There is a land 
And this is the globed world of the Pantocrator 
Finally I have understood 
I have understood 
I have understood 
Though when I slip sleeping and silently 
From this ribbed room of sighs 
You shall not find the history of His personal visit 
Sewn into my linings perhaps 
Nevertheless I have understood 
Where the logician watches god hinge all on a die 
Nevertheless I have understood! 

That all this is the breathbetween moment 
Our eyeslids open and close 
Between is the land 
Between the time I first was accepted 
In between Your brightboned body 
Between then and there and the time You wept: 
"Goodbye my love goodbye to you" 
There there was the land 
In the pearls of our heart 
There is the immaculate heavenly loveland 
In the middle of the forest Acton is slain by his own hounds 
In the middle of the forestEustace meets the crisscross Stag 
There is the land he has reached paradise 
There is no death 
There is no death 
There as the stag turns and smiled loved 
There he was takencaught by the prey 
All the flowers are blossoming 
And all the world calls to you: 
"Dormition" - so you sleep 
"Dominion" - so you rule 
Dormition - oh You sleep, Mother 
Dominion - Father, You rule
