In the mind of god

The dead sleeping lie
Am7 Dm7 F
And the little cogs though unmoving
Am7 Dm7 F Am7
Hover over the turning wheel
Dm7 F
All life's a farce
Am7 C F Dm7
The broken bird is draped over the paths and paths
Am7 C F Dm7
And paths and paths
Am7 C F Dm7
And those who say this world is not
Am7 C F Dm7
The bloody gleaming paradise of blood and jewel
Am7
Lie

Pitted ~~~with the moonworlds
C F Dm7
Mother alldewey
Am7 C F Dm7 Am7
Arrayed with the twinkling lights
C F Dm7 Am7
The wovengold spungilded ~~~~blinking godeyes
C F Dm7
The spearshafts of heaven
Am7 C F Dm7
The souldwelling rockhomes

Spoken:
Dormition and Dominion
Dormition and Dominion
The Mother is dead
The Mother awakens
Dormition
She sleeps
Dominion
He rules
She sleeps and rules
In her starry bodied glory
The Mother sleeps
The Mother loves

I say there is no death
No death

Over the starry dancing stars

Under the sweatribbed brow

There is a land
C F Dm7 Am7
And this is the globed world of ~~~~the Pantocrator

Died in lines and died in singular
Am7 C
Finally I have understood
F Dm7
I have understood
Am7 C
I have understood
F Dm7 Am7 C
Though when I slip sleeping and silently
F Dm7
From this ribbed room of sighs
Am7 C F Dm7 Am7
You shall not find the history of His personal visit
C F
Sewn into my linings perhaps
Dm7 Am7
Nevertheless I have understood
C F Dm7
Where the logician watches god hinge all on a die
Am7 C
Nevertheless I have understood!
F Dm7 Am7
That all this is the breathbetween moment
C F
Our eyeslids open and close
Dm7
Between is the land
Am7 C F
Between the time I first was accepted

In between Your brightboned body

Between then and there and the time you, you wept:

"Goodbye my love goodbye to you"
Dm7 Am7
Goodybye, oh goodbye
C
There was the land
F Dm7
In the pearls of our heart
Am7 C F
There is the immaculate heavenly loveland
Dm7 Am7 C F
In the middle of the forest Acton is slain by his own hounds
Dm7 Am7 C
In the middle of the forest Eustace meets the crisscross Stag
F Dm7 Am7
There is the land he has reached paradise
C
There is no death
F
There is no death
Dm7 Am7 C
There as the stag turns and smiled loved
F Dm7 Am7
There he was takencaught by the prey
C
All the flowers are blossoming
