A Hymn to the Morning Star
Embrace the Dawn: Revelations of a Cosmic Awakening
Lyrics
Open your heart to the lord of light
Encouragement to be receptive to the divine or enlightened force
Open your heart and mind and let him in
Invitation to embrace spiritual enlightenment
He holds the key to the throne of might
Implication that access to great power lies with this divine entity
You are empty
Emphasizing a feeling of emptiness or lacking
Say his name and let him in
Directive to invoke the divine presence
All hail the dawn of a rising star
Celebrating the emergence of a powerful figure associated with the dawn
All hail the crowned and conquering child
Honoring a victorious and acknowledged childlike figure
Morning will come for you at last
Assurance of a positive outcome in the future
No matter how far into night you have strayed
Regardless of how lost one may feel, an urging to invoke the divine
Say his name
Reiteration of the call to invoke the divine
Welcome the child
Welcoming a new divine presence or era
A new world is crawling from the ashes of the old
Symbolic rebirth or renewal from the remnants of the past
Two thousand years of guilt and fear
Reflection on a long period of religious guilt and fear
And the greatest lie ever told
Highlighting a significant falsehood in history or religion
Out of the wounded side of the dying god
Alluding to a sacrificial figure and the aftermath
Out of the sacred heart of the throttled hen
Symbolism of sacrifice and its sacredness
The blood is the life
Emphasizing the significance of blood in life and sacrifice
The flowing milk for the infant god
Symbolic nourishment for the divine
The throne is empty
Suggesting an unoccupied position of power
The cup is full
Signifying completion or fullness
He approaches and then
Anticipation of the divine figure's arrival
He steps from the shadow and he opens up his eyes
Description of the figure's emergence and action
He spills the blood onto the throne
Depiction of a ritualistic act, possibly asserting power
And hurls a curse up to the skies
Expression of defiance or opposition
I am the adversary and must remain the adversary
Declaration of a continued oppositional role
