The Voice of Eli


 (A lone voice whispers.)


Like an army of unseen thieves


Wearing invisible black and red threads of divinity


You may steal

These words


As they are read

Into infinity


To remember old times of Beloved memories 

Of the dead


You have my now declared permission 

So go ahead


So like an army of invisible thieves


Wearing black and red threads of divinity

 

Fighting

Mentally

To stay alive


While living amongst

The living dead


Use these sacred words

As your literacy


Your Godhead


Recite after me

Silently


O sacrum


Fac me pacem et eripe me de tenebris


Da mihi vi opponendi fornicationem et tentationem


In omni- potenti nomine tuo


Amen


So they may fall like Autumn leaves 


All around 


The sacred grounds 

Where you may sit or stand


And 

Forever

Stay


As your beating band

Still plays


(C)

Translation: 


O Sacred One


Bring me peace and deliver me from darkness


Bestow me with the strength to oppose immorality and temptation 


In your Almighty name


Amen
