about

Jewellery Box is another song that comes from a strange dimension. Inspired by esoteric Egyptian mythology and Crowley’s “Liber AL Legis” (The Book of the Law). The song tells the tale of a mysterious woman, a magical jewel, a beleaguered king and a child who heralds in a new age.

lyrics

Jewellery Box playing in the back of my mind
Playing in circles
Playing with Time
Ancient melody
A lullaby rhyme
Keeping my secrets
Keeping them mine

Padding so softly down grey marble halls
The Woman with soft velvet skin
Unto the Chamber of Whispers she calls
The Watchers that dwell deep within

"Hasten and listen!" she hisses and sneers
"The time is now close at hand, it won't be long 'til the King disappears
Be ready to heed my command"

The moonstone of Isis shudders and gleams
From around the neck of the Child
Tossing and turning the king in his dreams
Around him the Watchers abide

Deep in the Atrium of the Night
Nestled in soft velvet skin
The Child awakes and blinks at the sight
In the sky the moon seems to grin

Gravestones and rainbows the sun comes and goes
The Kind rules the Wasted Lands
Sleeping forever awaiting his foe
The Earth it moves where he stands
Moves where he stands

The Watchers are waiting
The Woman weaves on
The Child finds the key to the locks
The moonstone of Isis whispers the future
From inside the Jewellery Box
