Before and beyond the blue gates of death Oh only two birds soar through the sky Take two blackbirds crossformed in poppy fields And sprung in the springtime of Europe's fertile years When the rain was immaculate Not redrose invisible And where in the heart that beats in man And where in the soul that beats in this heart May we find pastures of the little shining man? Eagle, his hand in hand Eagle, his glass in hand Birch, she sits there scowling Another eagle darkens the stage (She tells me she loves me but he always beckons) They have reached the blue gates of death They are at the blue gates of death They shall go through the blue gates of death And on the rocks the moss is everywhere And the sky is blackblue And it is darkening Statues point to the sky Birth Earth And dawn And I believe Christ is the Son of God And I believe Christ is His son Her eyes are horizontal Like her secret There is no pain for me to feel "Do not touch this pain of mine" She says "it is darkened fear" And London Bridge Has fallen down My mother sits in the kitchen She's drinking Victoria gin And she's eating gingerbread men Two ciphers straddle the stage Reclaim, declaim and decant Their moves are pointless Their promises echo through the night We have all reached the blue gates of death We are at the opening of the blue gates of death And Christ's name is carved in stone But the time has soaked it away Where the rain runs to the sea It takes moisture from the world Where riverruns to the sea It drags ships in its courses And the blue turns to green Behind the roses Fields and pastures Madness is the norm And laughing is the wine Full garlands hang on the head of the porcupine god Everyone reaches the blue gates of death Everything opens No journey is without meaning Every road has its end And I shall die soon And you shall die soon And no luggage is carried On the opening to the gates of death Death is no ending It is the beginning I shall not take you with me But your face rests in my heart Your soul is part of my soul Your love is with me always I shall remember you In the darkness that's to come And flashing lights beckon Another womb, another life At the blue gates of death I loved you once I shall love you again Do not feel pain Nothing lasts in this world I loved you once I shall love you again I loved you once I love you again
