that came to the Magician
and the Magician opened his hands
the light poured from them
Then, he came to the Priestess
and they drank from the Moon
as they watched the white dove descend
upon the Empress and her womb
And out sprung forth
the horns of the ram
ready to lead us
to lead us by the hand
He saw the Herder on the hill
as he leaned on the bull
gently waving his staff
shedding light on the Fool
Then, the Fool fell in Love with himself
and out came the snakes from darkness like the books you read on the shelf.
Steer that Chariot
one horse white, one black
utilize your Strength
never looking back
look into the light
as you hold onto your Staff
because a turn from the Wheel of Fortune
is up ahead on your path.
Now the lady of Justice
holds a sword in her right hand
scales in the left
and balance they might
your just the Hanged Man
and to sacrifice is your strife
and change is the birth from the strife
so the fire and the water are going to
give Temperance to the Fool's life
Now the Devil sits on his half cube of knowledge
holding onto the chains around his neck
loosely resting...
just in case he wants to free himself from all of that
The Fool comes to the cities that we've all built
startled by God, as the sky is suddenly lit
he sees the Tower built by the man
and he sees it struck down by the nature of it's sin
but, he knows that they'll just build it up again
As the crystals flow from the waters
she stands naked under the stars
while the dogs bay at the Moon
between the pillars
Tomorrow, the children of our new ideas
will be dancing under the Sun
yes, they'll be basking in it
But, when Gabriel blows the horns of Judgement
he better come running for it
because, all he really has in this World
is the One that made it.
