Who Am I (feat. Pete Pendragon & Vicky Grebezs)

Who am I?
I cannot say
You see my seasons, they change from day to day
Poet, priest, assassin thief
My magic suspends my disbelief

Who am I?
I'm just a pack of lies
I'm a tower of cards
I'm the yarn of a bard
I'm the jest of a fool
A glittering jewel
I'm just a candy-coated castle in the sky

But this little self is just a daydream of an angel
It's the shadow of a rainbow
It's the twinkling in the inkling of a blink
Of an all-seeing eye

Tear down your lying idols
And let your truth spring free
Stop searching and find, stop listening and hear, stop looking and simply see
Do what thou wilt
And no other thing
Wander alone in the crowd and sing
And fear not the taunts of the man and his masses
'Cause when disaster comes knocking, it's us fools who'll be laughing

Now Noah and his folks were the neighborhood joke
'Til the rain started falling and the levees broke
But too late, the profane saw the error of their ways
At the end of their tethers and the ancient of days
So don't get manic and panicked, when terror turns Titanic
Just don't stand and stare at the wave as it breaks
Do what thou wilt
Whatever it takes

Follow Lord fortune wherever he leads
And petition your demons to tend to your needs
Go crazy, go wild, get wasted, get wise
Wake up from your nightmares
Stop believing their lies
Get active, get radical, get real and get magical
Aspire to the heights and embrace all your lows
Give in to desire
Let the flood of lust flow

Let experience unjudged be your teacher supreme
In the mystical marriage of the king and his queen
For devotion delivered from lust of result
Destroys the delusions of the personal cult
And the seed of the apple, the snake gave the Dove
That was Shakti and Shiva, united in love

Now the fruit of the knowledge of good and ill was a necessary evil
But a bitter-sweet pill
But the fruit of the tree of eternal life is the salve to alleviate our mortal strength
See the kiss of the cobra both kills and cures
And the only defense is a heart that's pure
It's a drug to unhinge the temple's door
And the key to the kingdom where love is the law

The word of sin is restriction
So give in to a sacred addiction
Get drunk on the wine of the light divine
So bright that it bites and burns your mind blind

Divorced from mistaken identification
To all but to love and the grace of creation
Witness each breath with this passionate wonder
But once here and now in the blissful blue yonder
Honor the body as the bride of the king
And nurture the spark of desire within
Let reason and passion be your left and your right
No more divided than day is from night
Then unite by your art, your head and your heart
For emptiness ends where eternity starts

Let go and let rip
Take a ride, take a trip
Get to work, get to bed
Get a life, get a grip
Take leave of your senses
Your cunning pretences
Pick up your beds and tear down your defenses
And retrace the course of the spring to its source

And the time before mind, where God alone knows
In the garden of Eden
Where the tree of life grows
