Meditations I

Lyrics:

"The Mighty Seat groaned aloud and there were five Thunders which flew into the East, and the Eagle spake and cried with a loud Voice: 'Come away!' And they gathered themselves together and became the House of Death of whom it is measured, and it is they whose number is 31. Come away! For I have prepared for you a place. Move, therefore, and show yourselves. Open the mysteries of your Creation! Be friendly unto me, for I am the servant of the same your God, the true worshipper of the Highest. Containing all things in the one summit of his own Hyparxis, He Himself subsists wholly beyond.”

Lyrics:

"You that reign in the South, and are the Lanterns of Sorrow, bind up your garments and visit us! Bring down your train, that the Lord may be magnified, whose Name amongst you is Wrath."

XII — Fire of Water

"The Thunders of Judgment and Wrath are numbered and are harboured in the North in the likeness of an oak, whose branches are twenty-two nests of Lamentation and Weeping laid up for the earth, which burn night and day: And vomit out the heads of scorpions and live sulphur mingled with poisons. These are the Thunders that 5678 times in ye 24th part of a moment roar with an hundred mighty earthquakes, and one thousand times as many surges, which rest not - neither know any echoing time herein. One rock bringeth forth one thousand, even as the heart of man doth his thoughts. Woe! Woe! Woe! Yea, Woe be unto the Earth! For her iniquity is, was, and shall be great."
