To the critics and the cynics who don't understand the lyrics

To the atheists and the pessimists

Wanting company in their darkness

You may see me as a fool,yes, a charlatan, an egotist,

But I'd rather be this in your eyes

Than a coward in His



I began as Isis, the high priestess

My arms stretched to Sirius, me, the serpent Venus

Awaken the fetus, fertility to Jesus

Come and meet us (you are the seed in us)



Looking within I can see beyond my sight

The cities, the sky, the planets roll by

I awake and I die, yeah, I awake and I die, yeah

This is the rhythm of life



Next I was lightning, God energy fighting

To tell my widow surviving I was still alive in

Another place of life n' I struck him seven times

He finally looked to the sky

Shed a tear and joined me dying



Looking within I can see beyond my sight

The cities, the sky, the planets roll by

I awake and I die, yeah, I awake and I die, yeah

This is the rhythm of life

Rhythm of life, rhythm of life, this is the rhythm of life



Now I am me, in diffident lead, responsibility

Trying to face my fear, from the trailer park to here

Over mountains, through my death

From Harbinger to Amen

May my actions outweigh my words

May my lifetime be of worth



Looking within I can see beyond my sight

The cities, the sky, the planets roll by

I awake and I die, yeah, I awake and I die, yeah

This is the rhythm of life



All the word's a stage,

And all the men and women,

merely players

They have their exits,

And their entrances

And one man in his time,

Plays many parts.
