Kinderszenen, Op. 15: IX. Ritter vom Steckenpferd

de Akhlys

Here I am at one
Within the House of Dreaming
Behind a thousand masks revealed
A thousand masks of seeming
Sister Silence
Brother Sleep
Bear me forth
Into the deep
Mother Darkness
And Farther Death
Witness this Union
And name without breath
Sister Silence
Brother Sleep
Scream now the song
Of Pan’s secret keep
Mother Darkness
Father Death
I to I
A new name dreameth
The call that led me
From your baying at noon
Arisen from Darkness
From the time of the Moon
Has brought me now here
To the ordeal of ordeals
To gaze upon Darkness
Where the Darkness reveals

Sister Silence
Brother Sleep
Bear me forth
Into your keep
Mother Darkness
Farther Death
Take from me All
Until nothing is left
And fill me with splendor
The epiphany of I
To rise towards my star
In which I must die
The call that leads me
From your howling at noon
Arisen from Darkness
To grant me this boon
Has led me here
Displaced and abject
To gaze upon Darkness
Where the Darkness reflects

Still yet ecstatic
Silent yet roaring
Paradoxical rising
Downwards yet soaring
Sister Silence
Brother Sleep
Bear me forth
To that place beneath
Mother Darkness
Farther Death
Give to me All
And now nameth
