Am7 
In the mind of god 
               Dm7     F   
The dead sleeping lie 
Am7                         Dm7      F 
And the little cogs though unmoving 
Am7                    Dm7    F  Am7 
Hover over the turning wheel 
           Dm7     F 
All life's a farce 
  
Am7                  C               F         Dm7     
The broken bird is draped over the paths and paths 
     Am7        C    F   Dm7  
And paths and paths 
     Am7            C        F       Dm7  
And those who say this world is not 
     Am7               C           F              Dm7  
The bloody gleaming paradise of blood and jewel

Arrayed with the twinkling lights 
      C          F      Dm7             Am7 
The wovengold spungilded ~~~~blinking godeyes 
      C    F        Dm7  
The spearshafts of heaven

Spoken: 
Dormition and Dominion 
Dormition and Dominion 
The Mother is dead 
The Mother awakens 
Dormition 
She sleeps 
Dominion 
He rules 
She sleeps and rules 
In her starry bodied glory 
The Mother sleeps 
The Mother loves 
Dormition and Dominion 
I wait 
...Are the holders of the world and its dreams 
I say there is no death 
No death 

Dm7   
         Am7              C  
We have lived before and shall live again 
F           Dm7   
And again 
         Am7              C                 F 
We have slept before and shall sleep again 
                Dm7                 Am7 
We have danced through the shallow pools 
      C          F  Dm7   
And shall rejoice  
      Am7 
Once again 
     C                  F 
To those who say there is no hope 
 Dm7      Am7 
I say...  liars 
C     F 
Liars 
Dm7       Am7 
Liars you are 

                 Dm7       
Over the starry dancing stars 
F          Am7 
There is a land 
            C          F 
Under the sweatribbed brow 
Dm7         Am7 
There is a land 
                 C       F     Dm7     Am7 
And this is the globed world of ~~~~the Pantocrator 
C                            F        Dm7   
Died in lines and died in singular 
Am7               C 
Finally I have understood 
F         Dm7 
I have understood 
Am7        C 
I have understood 
        F            Dm7          Am7     C 
Though when I slip sleeping and silently 
      F                   Dm7 
From this ribbed room of sighs 
 Am7           C        F         Dm7           Am7 
You shall not find the history of His personal visit 
C                       F 
Sewn into my linings perhaps 
Dm7                   Am7 
Nevertheless I have understood 
C                           F         Dm7 
Where the logician watches god hinge all on a die 
Am7                     C 
Nevertheless I have understood! 
      F                Dm7          Am7 
That all this is the breathbetween moment 
       C               F 
Our eyeslids open and close 
                Dm7 
Between is the land 
   Am7               C           F 
Between the time I first was accepted 
 Dm7                      Am7 
In between Your brightboned body 
C                       F            Dm7      Am7 
Between then and there and the time you, you wept: 
             C               F 
'Goodbye my love goodbye to you' 
  Dm7            Am7 
Goodybye, oh goodbye 
                C 
There was the land 
          F           Dm7 
In the pearls of our heart 
Am7                      C            F 
There is the immaculate heavenly loveland 
       Dm7              Am7            C                F 
In the middle of the forest Acton is slain by his own hounds 
       Dm7                   Am7                  C 
In the middle of the forest Eustace meets the crisscross Stag 
F                          Dm7             Am7 
There is the land he has reached paradise

There is no death 
               F 
There is no death 
      Dm7          Am7              C 
There as the stag turns and smiled loved 
       F          Dm7         Am7 
There he was takencaught by the prey 
C 
All the flowers are blossoming 
F                  Dm7 
And all the world calls to you: 
Am7                    C 
'Dormition' - so you sleep 
F                    Dm7 
'Dominion' - so you rule 
Am7                  C 
Dormition - oh You sleep, Mother 
F            Dm7        Am7 
Dominion - Father, You rule
