All is cold hard beauty, pain is never done And we remain clothed in space Forming from space Space we come and return And I saw within the mystery of god In the midst of the southern breezes A wondrously beautiful image It had a human form and it's countenance was of such beauty That I could have more easily gazed at the sun Than in that face For a broad golden ring circled it's head In this ring above the face there appeared a second countenance Like that of an elderly man It's chin and beard resting on the crown of her first face And on both sides of the figure a wing grew out of the shoulders The wings rose above the face and were joined there Then at the top part of the wing on the curve appeared an eagle's head Its eyes were like fire and in them the brilliance of angels streamed forth from the mirror On the part of the left wing's curve there was soothed a human head Which shone like the gleaming of the stars Both faces were turned towards the east And from the shoulders of the figure a wing extended to its knees The figure was wrapped in a garment that shone like the sun Its hands carried the lamb which shone like a brilliant day The figure's feet trod upon a monster of black A serpent had fastened its teeth into it And its body was wound around the wound Its tail extended to the left It said "I am the highest in fiery power I have kindled every spark of life I am it, nothing that is deadly I decided on all reality With my wings I fly above this little world With wisdom have I put the universe in order I am the fiery life of essence I am a flame beyond the beauty even of the meadows It is I who gleam in the waters It is I that burn in the sun It is I that burn in the moon It is I that burn in the stars With every breeze as with invisible life that contains everything It is I that awaken every thing to life The air lives by turning green and being in bloom And the waters flow as if they were alive The sun lives in it's light and the moon is enkindled After it's disappearance once again by the light Of the sun so that the moon is again revived The stars too give the light with their beaming I have established pillars that bear the entire globe In the same way too the body envelopes the soul And maintains it so that the soul will never blow away" And all is cold hard beauty, pain is never done Never done
[00:02.92]All is cold hard beauty, [00:09.14]pain is never done [00:32.63]And we remain clothed in space [00:43.97]Forming from space [00:53.57]Space we come and return [01:01.30]And I saw within the mystery of god [01:16.23]In the midst of the southern breezes [01:23.05]A wondrously beautiful image [01:32.32]It had a human form [01:38.02]and it's countenance was of such beauty [01:45.06]That I could have more easily gazed at the sun [01:55.38]Than in that face [02:00.65]For a broad golden ring circled it's head [02:08.04]In this ring above the face there [02:13.87]appeared a second countenance [02:22.93]Like that of an elderly man [02:30.61]It's chin and beard resting on the crown [02:40.55]of her first face [02:45.58]And on both sides of the figure a wing [02:53.19]grew out of the shoulders [03:01.47]The wings rose above the face [03:10.28]and were joined there [03:15.70]Then at the top part of the wing [03:21.89]on the curve appeared an eagle's head [03:30.38]Its eyes were like fire and in them the brilliance of angels [03:38.13]streamed forth from the mirror [03:46.02]On the part of the left wing's curve [03:52.99]there was soothed a human head [04:00.51]Which shone like the gleaming of the stars [04:08.46]Both faces were turned towards the east [04:16.04]And from the shoulders of the figure [04:21.85]a wing extended to its knees [04:31.29]The figure was wrapped in a garment [04:34.28]that shone like the sun [04:45.33]Its hands carried the lamb [04:52.76]which shone like a brilliant day [05:00.28]The figure's feet trod upon a monster of black [05:06.63]A serpent had fastened its teeth into it [05:15.04]And its body was wound around the wound [05:22.81]Its tail extended to the left [05:28.91]It said "I am the highest in fiery power [05:36.78]I have kindled every spark of life [05:45.60]I am it, nothing that is deadly [05:51.82]I decided on all reality [06:00.43]With my wings I fly above this little world [06:15.12]With wisdom have I put the universe in order [06:21.78]I am the fiery life of essence [06:29.79]I am a flame beyond the beauty even of the meadows [06:45.29]It is I who gleam in the waters [06:52.53]It is I that burn in the sun [07:00.83]It is I that burn in the moon [07:07.69]It is I that burn in the stars [07:15.58]With every breeze as with invisible life [07:22.74]that contains everything [07:29.83]It is I that awaken every thing to life [07:37.77]The air lives by turning green and being in bloom [07:59.67]And the waters flow as if they were alive [08:05.57]The sun lives in it's light [08:08.70]and the moon is enkindled [08:14.32]After it's disappearance once again by the light [08:20.28]Of the sun so that the moon is again revived [08:29.58]The stars too give the light with their beaming [08:35.46]I have established pillars that bear the entire globe [08:45.15]In the same way too the body envelopes the soul [08:51.06]And maintains it so that the soul will never blow away" [09:00.58]And all is cold hard beauty, [09:07.06]pain is never done [09:25.16]Never done [09:36.51]
