Divinations from In Oblivion by Seismograph

Waking hours
Suspended in two states of mind:
Absentminded
And over-aware all the time
So I only sing of earthly things
To get out of my own head

Every time I look inside
The leaves, in phase, are changing
So I wander around at night
And I watch for signs
In the shifting of sound and light
It is all divined

A quarter-turn towards the edge of the Earth
But I haven't learned the secret yet
A pyre burns from the moment of birth
And the smoke is filling up my head

Every time I look inside
The leaves, in phase, are changing
So I wander around at night
And I watch for signs
In the shifting of sound and light
It is all divined

Tortoise, sow us
From void to the forest
Dragon, tend us
And teach the wisdom to forget
Phoenix, raise us
With strength to endure our regret
Tiger, greet us
In death and in harvest
