Black Magdalene / Strong as any Rome

Total running time  25 minutes 34 seconds

45 RPM






















Side A

Invoking Sandalphon         3 minutes 59 seconds  82 BPM

Adonai Ha-Aretz

Prayer weaver divine

Flowers for God

Lord of the Earth

We implore thee

Malach Ashim through you

Adonai Ha-Aretz

Prayer weaver divine



Dreams of Tunis          3 minutes 22 seconds  124 / 164 / 80 BPM

Desert night cool moon bright sea alive pull of tide

Journey toward the ancient city of Karthago

Old men know all of woes tales by Beldi women told

Seven days for seven nights seven daughters in full bloom of life

Allah guide us to goodness

Shahada sacred bliss

Across the sea arcane dreams lead foreign men into Tanit's hands

Journey toward the ancient city of Karthago

Allah guide us to goodness

Shahada sacred bliss



Temptress         2 minutes 09 seconds  133 / 56 BPM

Oh the desert belongs to no one

Shifting sands are their own

Magi king or slave

Subjects always

Oasis a temptress to a mirage

Subjects always

Oh the desert belongs to no one

Shifting sands are their own



Old Wives' Tales         2 minutes 47 seconds  85 BPM

Older than humanity older than the desert

The soul of the World sings the song of the Universe

We are loved as we are loved no reasons are needed

Omens reveal what has always been

One twin soul destined for us all

We are loved as we are loved no reasons are needed



Side B

Sophia         3 minutes 48 seconds  95 BPM

In between the Earth and on high are seven ways to die

Above the universe beneath the heavens isolated for all time

Seven ways to die

In between the Earth and the deep are seven ways to die

All the wisdom in the World plunged into the great below

Now human once divine

Seven ways to die

Only mortals suffer and taste untold pleasures that eternity deprives

Seven ways to die

In between the Earth and on high are seven ways to die

Love created from chaos asks no forgiveness adored and alive

Seven ways to die


An Escape         5 minutes 45 seconds  120 BPM

Brother murder of love

Temple stained with innocent blood

Dead speak in dreams

Rebuild a world strong as any Rome

Only seven years to create an escape

Sister mistress of exile

Queen of the crippled empire

Entourage of broken vows

Rebuild a world strong as any Rome

Only six hundred years to destroy and escape

City of survivors

Myth of sacrifice

Queen of suicide




Draped in Furs         3 minutes 34 seconds  100 BPM

Waiting so much waiting

Waiting although I know you aren't coming back

Lost in the past draped in furs

Constant stirring of fire

Constant toiling of mind

Lost in the past draped in furs

Times forgotten binding me

Time means nothing to my memories

Lost in the past draped in furs

You won't disappear before I do

I won't let them take me from you

An empty vessel left behind

Draped in furs
