The Quest Songtext
von Inner Missing

The Part, immutable, unseen
Being, before itself had been
Became, like jewelled triple twin
Sureness, the Void uncovered

The silence of deep height was drawn
A veil across the silvered dawn
On holy wings that hovered
On holy wings that hovered

The music of three thoughts became
The beauty that is one white flame
The justice that surpasses shame
The victory, the splendour

The sacred fountain that is whirled
From depths beyond that older world
A new world to engender
The Kingdom is extended


Night dwells and I contemplate
The sight that is not seen
But the light that secretly is kindled
Though oft I wage most holy fire
Like soil whenever my own desire
Before desire has dwindled

I see the thin web binding me
With the ten chords of unity
To what′s become centre of the sea
Of the Supernal Mother

The Triple Light my path divides
To twain and fifty sudden sides
Each perfect as each other

Now backwards, inwards, still my mind
Must tread the intangible and blind
And seek and shall securely find
Hidden in secret places

Fresh feasts for every soul that strives
New life for many mystic lives
And strange new forms and faces

My mind still searches and attains
By many days and many pains
To that which is, and was, and reigns
Shadowed and foreign then


And loses self in sacred lands
And cries and quickens and understands

Beyond the first amen
Beyond the first amen
