Maat - the - Daughter by Frater Zir


SONG FOR LADY THEMIS

You’re the sister of the serpent
You’re the angel of the Cosmos
As you spread your wings of love.

Take me to your secret kingdom
underneath foundation’s wall.
Dress me there in hidden splendor,
Teach me Ishtar’s victory call.

Beauty is your strength, and mercy
as you turn from the Abyss.
Help me understand your wisdom—
crown and kill me with your kiss.

You’re the sister of the serpent
You’re the daughter of the dove
Angel of the night, you show me
all the darker ways of love.

Take my soul into your eyes now,
take my mind where yours has flown.
Take my heart upon your altar,
take my flesh into your own.

Let me see in you the Other,
all that I am not, you are.
We are two, we shall be nothing,
O my dark and lovely star.

You’re the sister of the serpent
You’re the daughter of the dove.
Angel, Demon, Goddess, Lover
I am lost within your love.
