Sister Cybele

[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
