Denying hood of priests stands the learned man In ceremonial skins of Lappish rites Ingest the holy flesh Beat the drum of ancients Tribes of the north Wisdom of God Let the visions come The seer presides over In shamanistic sight Birthing future orders Scouring the kingdom Quest of sacred knowledge So the names are given Inscribed upon the world
Awake the sage in flame of the family lamiacaeae Instate his reign – binomial taxonomy Von Linne enthroned eternally
By thine order may we know the flowers of the butcher's block And by knowing the war of all against all May ye know God
Stamens, pistils Recall organs of lust Repulse foolish masses The foe bestowed unto the weeds In the hooks of every burr And the seeds that fall in cracks of rocks And germinate to shatter the earth There is His order shown, now know the Lord
As the tendrils choke the garden And as the orchard’s ripest fruit Is devoured by beasts and life springs from their dung So may we know the kingdom
By thine order may we know the flowers of the butcher's block And by knowing the war of all against all May ye know God
