Lyrics
Short instrumental intro with humming vocals
(Verse 1)
In Antioch's shadow, where candles burned low,
Cyprian learned what the demons can't know.
He conjured the darkness, he whispered the spell,
But the love of Justina broke heaven and hell.
He saw in her freedom, a truth pure and stark,
That a heart cannot be won by the magic of dark.
(Chorus)
Sih-PREE-an, Triz-meh-JIS-tus, Ah-brah-mah-LEEN, Peh-troh-BAH-no, John Dee!
Mica-olz-od a-spi-an! (Teach us to be free and magical again!)
(Verse 2)
Old Trismegistus, with emerald hand,
Wrote "As above, so below" on the sand.
The cosmos a mirror, the soul a vast sea,
Reflecting the infinite mystery.
In the dance of the planets, in the turn of the leaf,
He found the one law, the end of all grief.
(Chorus)
Sih-PREE-an, Triz-meh-JIS-tus, Ah-brah-mah-LEEN, Peh-troh-BAH-no, John Dee!
Mica-olz-od a-spi-an! (Teach us to be free and magical again!)
(Verse 3)
Abramelin walked by the Nile's holy tide,
And spoke of an angel that dwells deep inside.
Not a demon to command, not a god to appease,
But a guardian spirit to bring us to ease.
And Pietro saw wonders in nature's own heart,
No god, angel, demon, just a world set apart.
While John Dee with scryer and charted design,
Drew empires on oceans with a celestial sign.
(Bridge)
So where are the mages, where has the magic gone?
This world feels so hollow, the wonder withdrawn.
We traded the starlight for cold, sterile glare,
And the whispers of spirits for the noise in the air.
We build concrete mountains that scrape at the sky,
And serve hidden powers that enslave and deny.
(Chorus - with building intensity)
Sih-PREE-an, Triz-meh-JIS-tus, Ah-brah-mah-LEEN, Peh-troh-BAH-no, John Dee!
Mica-olz-od a-spi-an! (Teach us to be free and magical again!)
(Outro)
Teach us to be free...( Teach us to be free)
Teach us to be magical again...( Teach us to be magical again)
Call their names on the wind...Call their names in the air
And begin...(the great work)
Sih-PREE-an, Triz-meh-JIS-tus, Ah-brah-mah-LEEN, Peh-troh-BAH-no, John Dee!
Mica-olz-od a-spi-an! (Teach us to be free and magical again!)
Call their names on the wind...Call their names in the air
And begin...the great work (the great work)
Call their names on the wind...Call their names in the air
And begin...the great work (the great work)
