Milky ways of diamond dust<\/p>\n
Across a desert sky<\/p>\n
Flames that dance within the night<\/p>\n
And carry wishes high<\/p>\n
Upon the winds, up to the stars<\/p>\n
Where the gods can hear<\/p>\n
Smoke rings dancing in the dark<\/p>\n
Before they disappear<\/p>\n
Some say magick isn’t real<\/p>\n
But some will never know<\/p>\n
That magick’s only science<\/p>\n
With different words aglow<\/p>\n
Physics and astronomy<\/p>\n
The wheel of time doth spin<\/p>\n
And trust the gods are listening<\/p>\n
To the chaos and the sin<\/p>\n
We give them each and every day<\/p>\n
In actions and in words<\/p>\n
In wishes we send on the wind<\/p>\n
In poetry and verse<\/p>\n
It’s all one; it’s all the same<\/p>\n
It’s energy; it’s love<\/p>\n
And when you give hate to the stars<\/p>\n
Trust They’re listening above<\/p>\n
Three times three it all comes back<\/p>\n
What you give to the sky<\/p>\n
In smoky flames of diamond dust<\/p>\n
Where fallen angels fly.<\/p>\n
