lyrics

I quit the East and went down to Egypt
The way is dark and so dangerous
I went to the abode to arouse the serpent
And take the pearl from him

Somehow I forgot I’m born a queen
I forgot the pearl for which they sent me
Because I was oppressed by earthly burdens
I lay in a deep sleep and my family knew my dreams

And then arrived a letter of red
Written on silk like shining light
Alight beside me the king of all birds
Its voice and its wings became all speech
“Remember the pearl for which you were sent
And the robe that you shall adorn.”
And I awoke, I remembered the pearl
For which I’d been sent

And I began to charm the loud breathing serpent
I hushed him into sleep and named my fathers name
And that of my mother, the queen of the east
I snatched away the Pearl and went for my home
To the light in the East

I bowed my head and worshipped majesty
of my family who had sent me
