From far away
From a deep distant place
From far away
From within every surrounding space
From far away I heard
The melodies
Streams of a celestial word
A rhythm simple pure and strong
From far away
The Universal Song

There is a land
Somewhere stands The Tree
And a connection to you and me
With midnight roots and leaves of snow
Without fences it continues to grow
On one hand wrong on the other right
Without the dark there is no light
And vice versa
So we fight
From far away
We understand
It takes two 
Evil and good to perfect one
It's the Universal Song

Three shades of red
Three shades of blue
Three shades of green
Yellow and black too
Three times a rainbow gold streaked five
Three letters merge and one comes alive
It's the Universal Song

Fire and water side by side
Hot and cold balanced inside
There's fear below and rejoicing above
You've got to embrace stark hate to find truelove
Within a vessel the compassion and thrill
Within a vessel the need to destroy and lust to kill
It's the Universal Song
The sky goes on and on endlessly
The past and future branches of a perpetual tree
The source of a vast ethereal well
Equal parts of heaven and hell
The knowledge of all 
The gift of mind
Within the shadows of The One divine
It's the Universal Song
It's the Universal Song
Everything written
It's the Universal Song

You are my wrong
The scale that keeps me strong
You are my right
For my pure blackness a virtuous light
They cannot possibly comprehend
All dark
All light
For these one-sided dreamers and envious schemers
IT will forever remain out of sight
Like a walker on a tightrope
Without a safety net
Poise is the only hope
Eden and Hades
In each other's arms where they belong
It's a marriage only a few can truly understand
From far away
It comes today, tomorrow and yesterday
It's the Universal Song
From far away
The Universal Song

A new fruit has emerged a new kind of Three
Signaling the beginning of the end of what is...
The inevitable demise of what used to be
Midnight within and lily-white outside
Beside Her stalks a destined wave and tide
The next great Hunter 
Resplendent in an ancient shade of red
The malefic power of his father's Tar
A ferocious furnace within his head
What was old is at once old and new
What was one is one again from two
As time circles, a wind with three phases
We'll enter the final with freshly minted pages
Back to the end of where it all began
Chaos concludes with equilibrium
It's the Universal Song
All things written
As the wheel turns
Wheels and returns
From far away
We understand
The beat goes on...
Inexorably
Delayed perhaps, but unswayed
The beat goes on and on and on....
From near and far away
We understand
It's,
The Universal Song

I am the malefic Versifier
