Even Song - Mother Of All Beings lyrics

rate me

(The self-begotten deity)

The steadfast Earth shuddered

roaring fires ran over heavens

in tears & howling embodied

a female form: Mother of all beings

Like a faint shadow she rose from the ground

trembling & pale like a new-born child

beneath her feet a vast, unprolific ground

above her head the indefinite space

For ages she wandered in the forsaken wilderness

searching for life-forms

She found nothing but a dire emptiness

a soul-shuddering Vacuum

Whirlwinds of sulphurous smoke

torrents of lava, vapour & clouds

terrible thunders tore the mantle of Earth

unquenchable fires consumed the ground

Her lamenting voice wept upon the void

but there were no one to hear her

She was alone in a world of inertia

divided by tears & sorrows

From the vast deluge of her tears

an unfathomable ocean rose

An ocean teemed with strange organism

and creatures bred in sorrow

Various forms of being crawled out from the sea

and mustard around the great Mother

And she rejoiced beholding her daughters & sons

and gave them the Earth & the Skies to conquer
