about

First reading – Vicissitudes of Civilization
The card "the Hierophant" is drawn.

A reading of Journey.
A Traveler wanders through the ruins of a bygone society, its survivors recounting the story of their demise, embittered by wars for power and obsessions for building ever higher, greater monuments. Such is the fate of civilization - unless we can heed the warnings of those who came before, uphold strong institutions to keep our darker instincts in check, and realize we are part of a cycle that goes beyond us, mere grains of sand on the tapestry of life.

lyrics

Rising from the sands
Through barren lands
I’ve crossed the ruins of the past
Of my ancestors’ homes that lie
Silent in the night

I sometimes get this feeling when I gaze at the stars
Their shining light resonates deep inside

(Ancestors:)
Come gaze at the stars, child, and bring us news from the world
Have you learned from what we’ve left behind?

Sunlight and scorching heat
Starlight and visions seen
Day and night converge in me
As sand and sky finally meet

Sandstorms unleashed their fury against
Towers brought down onto their knees
Nothing now but the memories carved
Into the stones… a grave of my own
(For time buries all!)

Deep inside I’ve known it all
Before my time is over I’ll be gone
Beyond the here and now of my existence
As a traveler on a quest to
Find my way across the land and
Life itself - a tapestry of Light and Being
United through the Starlight that shines
And binds it all together
Please guide me on my journey

(Ancestors:)
Gaze now upon these walls child
Stay a while and learn from the
Tale that is inscribed
So many times, we tore out the light
And bled it all, until we died
Bleached and dry
In this Empire of the Sands

Deep inside I’ve known it all
Before my time is over I’ll be gone
Beyond the here and now of my existence
As a traveler on a quest to
Find my way across the land and
Life itself - a tapestry of Light and Being
United through the Starlight that shines
And binds it all together
Please guide me on my journey

(Ancestors:)
Come gaze at the stars, child, and tell us what you see
Has our light made its way in your mind and in your heart?

I can’t fight back this calling to reach beyond what we see
In the end what we are is just a child,
A shard of Light and life

(Ancestors:)
Look up to the void of space
And seek the remnants of our race
Meditate upon our fate
So that you won’t make our mistakes

Journey on through sand and snow
Beyond the walls and caves of stone
Sing with friends, celebrate life
And let the starlight be your guide

Rising from the sands...
