Not Because the Fox Barks

Lyrics

Ruth and Naomi at rest
 In the people of their people
 The desert is awake
 Flicks its pale moon eyes
 Cows and crows roam
 And consume dead branches
 The Lord is on the hooves
 His vastness blinds the tombs
 And Aleph broods
 Creating starlings with brightness
 And breathing planets and clouds
 This is Terminal Eden
 Killer of dreams
 Of hopes
 Of galaxies
 Here the Gnostic Fox sets up his throne and stall
 Docetic or just mimetic?
 Dying or running from the ⲥⲧⲁⲩⲣⲟⲥ?
 Or just dissolving like smiles?
 Back to the Vast Aleph?
 Or off at the drop to Amen Ra?
 I am Aleph
 I am Adam
 The fish stream home
 And uphill the sentries wait with ferocious spears
 Practising thrusts on clouds
 Clown with camels and jade
 Sugar coy in the mist
 Perfumes sour in her birth
 But shining in shadows
 Friend to histories
 The Moon is with Aleph
 Tucked under his shoulder
 The Sun is with Adam
 Tucked under his shoulder
 Cain is with Aleph and Adam and I
 Sneaking between my legs
 Murderer
 Sliding into my thoughts
 Murderer
 In between the sheets
 Dreaming and waiting for seeds
 Dreaming of rehabilitation or redemption
 Can you hear my name?
 Can you hear my name?
 Can you post my name?
 Can you claim my name?
 I am nameless I am Aleph
 Adamantine
 And I am Adam
 Pre-existent
 Ashamed
 And Murderer
 The old man
 Window in the room
 Cracks open the face
 He was given
 Warface grasps burn
 In ⲁⲙⲛ̄ⲧⲉ
 All of them ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ
 Conquered hooks
 Not because the fox barks
 I heard of your wisdom
 Not because man barks
 Not because man howls
 Not because Aleph stopped
 Trains and sapphires
 Clear as rain and Adam
 Not because falls
 Not as the fox barks
 The legend was a he at sea
 Christ arose in glory
 A rose in glory
 Christ is the Rose
 And Murdered smiled and cried
 Alone through the window
 The cripple and the corn
