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
