THE CRUCIBLE

I
The ripples you make in the waters of time,
they intermingle and combine with mine.
Together they form an irresistible tide,
that carries us along on our Valkyrie ride.

Chorus:
However long it takes to learn,
the cold will numb and the fire will burn,
but in the end we'll all return
to the Power
behind the crucible.

II
Each one a diamond-in-the-rough.
Each a stone to be polished and cut.
The Jeweler forms us
with a sure and steady hand,
as we travel in this cosmic caravan.

III
God help the materialist,
whose delusion is his bliss.
Nothing he was taught could prepare him for this:
HE'S NOT ALONE...
in the crucible.

Chorus:
However long it takes to learn,
the cold will numb and the fire will burn,
but in the end we'll all return
to the Power
behind the crucible.

IV
So shake your rattle!
Throw the I-Ching!
Trust in your doctrines...
dance...and sing;
then perhaps your offering
may be accepted
by the Power
behind the crucible.
