The Beyond from which we come Is hidden in dark moist mysteries of primeval mud And the silence between the stars, Dwells in the recesses of the soul, Beckons us into a wilderness, Reveals itself at its own bidding. From its vast complexity Arises simple ecstasy. We go forth in fear and faith, Knowing not what we will find - We sing our alleluias into the silent darkness, To the Beyond from which we come.
