Benediction Magnificat (irenicon)
Follow the bleeder, undamned you decry Consummate spirits ne'er follow the lie Open your heart towards that your mind feels Death is to conquer all that is surreal Fortune's enlightenment, hopeful rays of light Dramatic abundance, shattering the night Grow biting conflict, halted to an end The future is certain, the hope we defend Magnificat Up holding the righteous, onward march begun Deftly remoulding a darkened vision Strength within unity, mind linking mind Enveloping beauty, the next humankind The filth that we all have to climb through The filth we have to take Suffering it evermore Irenicon the wake "My soul doth magnify... ...my spirit has rejoiced ...remembrance of... mercy... to his seed forever..." Yet they lead us to the slaughter Like they lead a horse to water They can't force us to drink But we do Magnificat... Throned Persevere So teach us to number our days that we may Push hearts towards wisdom and fade out the grey Interventions looming on our dawning world Hope springs eternal, a hope now unfurled Persevere.
