" O "
The slippery slope of knowing O
A widened window to slide within
The hide and seek, with glowing O
Brought unscrupulous, mad men in
O sister O, are you Isis, born again?
The solar plexus, of knowing O
Made breathing a circular whirlwind
Like the haunting sound, of slow cello
A struggle to keep the magic hidden
O sister Isis, Ra is here to listen
Egyptian sands, through glass so slow
Brought O to tunnels, beneath pyramids
With men in black trailing her softest notes
I came to know, why crypts keep secrets
O sister Isis, why pretend to keep your kisses?
Like the concertos, for Bach's oboes
The princely measure of Kingly riches
Were times when O's green eyes did glow
And heads did roll, for bloody reasons
Seems that O, had no tolerance for treason
In the end, the scope of knowing O
Was widened to let the lies seep in
As her ruthlessness did ever show
When her royal robes were worn for trysts
Where she'd pluck out eyes, and bloody lips
For inside O, there was no forgiveness
Only cat's eyes, and unholy magic
Taught her by, the oldest Egyptians...
