Peace descends upon the earth
A stillness comes with the darkness
I sit here alone in God
Underneath this spiraling universe of stars
I try to breathe as deep as the darkness asks
Sinking under…Breathing water
Peace descends upon the earth
A depth comes with the darkness
Persephone descends
Shadows grow longer as she goes underground
Persephone and her pomegranate seeds
Hades…Dancing with the Lord of Darkness
Spring sleeps in me now
As I take these pomegranate seeds
Dig deep into the rich earth
'Tis the womb place of all birth
I try to breathe as deep as the darkness asks
Demeter the earth her mother, she mourns for her
Her tears, the rain falling from the skies into mine.
This green earth Goddess dies, and a mother cries
For an innocence lost feels the cost in the darkness
Spring sleeps in me now
As I take these pomegranate seeds
I try to breathe as deep as the darkness asks
I'm seeking under...
I seek under...
I'm seeking under ground
