• Bright child of the Tarot - a new age awaits you

  but not through the mazes you're wandering in.

  Your gypsy desire and clairvoyant excursions

  are setting your beautiful brain all a-spin.

  The dog at the precipice barks out a warning:

  the FOOL, The MAGICIAN and PRIESTESS are wrong

  Pay no heed to their signs and the omens around you -

  let faith be your shield when the DEVIL seems strong.

  JUSTICE, as blind as the HERMIT is horny,

   has seen that our TOWER is stricken and doomed.

  The SUN, MOON and STARS in their orbits bear witness

  as LOVERS  in bondage to DEATH are consumed..

  Egypt can't help you - the CHARIOT's  stalled

  While the TEMPERANCE angel was mixing the drinks.

  The EMPRESS (a tedious feminist) preaches

  an upside down future, the HANGED MAN thinks...

  Though the WHEEL almost crushes you turning this way

  And the staff of correction has battered you hard

  I am sure you will make it, if only you pray

  to the sovereign elector who holds every card

  for a ray of redemption to light up your way.

  Let the major arcana all bow and acknowledge

  as  JUDGMENT is sounded and shatters the sky

  that omniscient and just is the blessed Redeemer

  who loves every lunatic card-addled dreamer

  like you and like me. Therefore hear as I cry

  that the WORLD in it's fulness can't harbor His love -

  nor the heavens within nor without nor above...

  May the HIEROPHANT's dynasty wither away

  and the EMPEROR"S scepter be broken to shards

  as the breath of God's Spirit comes into our world

  to reveal the true STRENGTH of your house made of cards.
