Birds like airplanes like crosses in the sky Give me strength and weakness at the same time The trees a loft for the first realm of heaven A grid of sixes beneath the mighty sevens He was the firstborn of every creature And the last of all the great teachers Thirst for his word, cleansed by his blood Rise out of the ashes like a lotus in the mud Glorification means being ready to die To submit to the rainbow throne on high

Marooned Sky
Birds like airplanes like crosses in the sky Give me strength and weakness at the same time The trees a loft for the first realm of heaven A grid of sixes beneath the mighty sevens He was the firstborn of every creature And the last of all the great teachers Thirst for his word, cleansed by his blood Rise out of the ashes like a lotus in the mud Glorification means being ready to die To submit to the rainbow throne on high
