Sister Cybele

Oliver Magnum

[Daugherty, Humphrey, Kurtz, Mueller, Worthen]



Time has slipped away

Your life is stolen

I see you wrestle with your dreams



Heavens stand open

And scatter their riches

My hands need but gather their wealth



Love's arms beckon

With their naked delight

And Eden's promise of ecstasy



Scars are remembered

Of old transgressions

As in some hateful dream



Sister cybele the time that you spent



And halls of worthless women

You shalt desire

Respire the deadliest fume



At last to lie within

Your hidden virtues

The vilest worms crawl vampires gloom



Sister cybele the time that you spent

Saving your secrets reserving your sense



There should be a science of discontent, hard times

and oppression to develop a psychic muscle

Sister of many remembered by few



Sister cybele the time that you spent

Saving your secrets reserving your sense
