The voice of Raphael

  


Press play and let the emotional music wash over you as you read. Salute. 


(A lone voice whispers)


I'm a hidden mercenary

An angel 


A bringer of the 

Purple Flame


Often seen 

As a young man

Carrying a staff


But I'm just 

A tollkeeper 

And opener of occult doorways 


To secretive places from 

The Great In-Between 


Held in the 

Great Pagan 

Books 


Of so many strange

Names



One of the ancient inhabitants 


Forever reborn 


An original citizen

of a lost faraway world 


A holy city

Beyond the Great Veil


The Gatekeeper is just my magical occult sigil


Say my invocation spell three times 


And I'll appear 


To help you materialise those dark dreams of love


Or wealth 

You hold dear


It's that simple


O' Ancient One

Great Gatekeeper 

from beyond the 

Great Shadows


Hear my call and come hither forth


O' Ancient One

From beyond the Great Shadows


Hear my call and come visit me

whilst I dream 


Riding upon your great white horse


O' Blessed Be


O' Ancient One

Great Gatekeeper from beyond the

Great Shadows


Hear my call and come hither forth


O' Ancient One

From beyond the Great Shadows


Hear my call and come visit me

whilst I dream 


Riding upon your great white horse


O' Blessed Be


O' Ancient One

Great Gatekeeper from beyond the

Great Shadows


Hear my call and come hither forth


O' Ancient One

from beyond the Great Shadows


Hear my call and come visit me

whilst I dream 


Riding upon your great white horse

O' Blessed Be 

and so be it


Did you do it


The look in your eyes says yes
If you really confess

For I'll be visiting you

Tonight


In the low hours


Just after 

Midnight 


So mote it be
