Solve Et Coagula

(album: The End Of All Things To Come - 2002)

Fire!
Fire!

I dissolve and solidify
Destroy to recreate
Disassemble, to assemble something pure

Our rubric solve et coagula
Kill to be born again! Cycled a thousand times!

(Fire!) Planetary alchemy!
(Fire!) The time is here, now!
(Fire!) Four corners to rise! (See it rise!)
(Fire!) There's always loss within!
(Fire!) The cleansing, it's time!
(Fire!) Shooting arrows to the sky! Fire!

I construct a new institution
Not out of bricks, iron, cement, concrete or steel

Our rubric solve et coagula
Distill to purify! We've done it a thousand times!

(Fire!) Planetary alchemy!
(Fire!) The time is here, now!
(Fire!) Four corners to rise! (See it rise!)
(Fire!) There's always loss within!
(Fire!) The cleansing, it's time!
(Fire!) Shooting arrows to the sky! Fire!

(Burn!) Bleed all the lives of life, ascend to the sky!
(Burn!) All the martyrs!
(Burn!) Bleed all the lives of life, ascend to the sky!

(Fire!) Planetary alchemy!
(Fire!) The time is here, now!
(Fire!) Four corners to rise! (See it rise!)
(Fire!) There's always loss within!
(Fire!) The cleansing, it's time!
(Fire!) Shooting arrows to the sky! Fire!
