"i am birth - i am death
i'm an elusive symbol
for eternal come and go
for come and go
i have come - i have gone
i have shown you moira
and her restless re-creation
your own re-creation"
"never, no never the day will go down on me
within knowing him by my side
sothis, o sothis, don't pass me again
before i know how to heal
