Theia
(Mackenzie / Cavanagh / Craig / Harwood / Kenny-Smith / Walker)

The silver cord, a glowing thread
Binds us to the higher divine
A bridge immortal and unspoken
Helping us to truth-align

Theia
Theia
Theia…

Theia, a force of destiny
Fate intertwined with that of earth
A ticking clock of new reality
A spiritual rebirth
And when Theia it did impact, the silver cord did snap as well
Leaving the soul to sail on a journey beyond that which we dwell

Theia
Theia
Theia…

Meet our maker
Dance with Theia

So perhaps our Theia's collision was not just a cosmic death, but also a means of fusion and the day we took our first breath
Towards a higher, truer ego in the vast and honeyed sky
Leaving behind our mortal coil
Silver cord now torn, the spirit flies

Theia
Theia
Theia…

Meet our maker
Dance with Theia
Meet our maker
Dance with Theia
Meet our maker
Dance with Theia
Meet our maker
Destroy Theia


The Silver Cord
(Walker / Mackenzie / Cavanagh / Craig / Harwood / Kenny-Smith)

The apostle of conscious dying whispers to me
“Keep on trying
Stay tethered to the cosmic sacrum
Safe within the Bardo playground
You’ll cry tears that fall up to the sky
While wrathful gods chant your name
You’ll never scream
You have no breath
No refuge in between your death”

Power made by Ptah
Beautiful child of love
The gods ascribe praises to him
Maker of things celestial and of things terrestrial
He illumineth Egypt
Traverser of the celestial heights in peace

From the womb I materialise
Terrified
Uncircumcised
My mothers love; Hypericum
Awake for the caesarean
Like a dog on a freeway
I commit my life to end it my way
I am deaf
I am a mute
I am blind
And I have broken through

I’m just a vessel
I’m just a poor boy travelling with my bodies
Bodies
Body imagery

I am free
I am marooned and tied to my bodies

Set
(Mackenzie / Kenny-Smith / Cavanagh / Craig / Harwood / Walker)

Snout of a jackal and a tail of a snake
Slithers and slinks through the desert, awake
Gorges on moonbeams and bathes in quantum foam
Unchallenged in the infinite unknown

Tornado bore down and lifted him high
Throwing Set around with a windy cry
His bones did shatter and his flesh did rend
But still, the god did not bend

Osirus of Geb, of Nut and dead, dutifully did what he was beset

Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set…

Governs sandstorms with but a gesture
Squeezing day into night with supernatural pressure
God of duality and king of the fight
Right eye the sun and left the moon's light

His followers screamed
His enemies cheered
As they watched their golden god disappear
Be unto your storm with a final breath
Set, it’s time to meet your death

Osiris of earth, of sky, and birth
Cut the cord
Kill the king and reset

Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set…

The god of death and rebirth too
Out with the old and in with the new
Ashes to gashes
The past of new life is made
Brightened up the shadows
Light up the shade
Horus gave Set the downstairs snip, snip
Poked out his eyes and ripped it to pieces
Eighty years of conflict
Crocodile-dog-birth
Lucifer inverted
Slender usurper
Piece of work
Struggling stranglehold akin to poison and going for broke
An eye for a sun
And an eye for the moon
Love letter death threats written in the tomb

The seed is set
Cow-horn-headdress
The seed is set
Hieroglyphic

Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set…
