Yes, nowadays many of its thoughts make me shake my head in disillusion and just wonder how I could let the form beat the content with such an ease, but it's my personal favourite, moreover, written with the greatest passion - and that's a good way to start my MOG life I thin...

Ominous is the word that comes to mind when thinking of this song. Dead Can Dance are an incredible group even to this day.

We are the stars which sing; we sing with our light.We are the birds of fire, we fly over the sky.Our light is a voice; we make a road for the spirit to pass over..And so I sat at home waiting for the mail. I knew the painful bardo was soon to come upon me. The bardo of dying.I read again the words of Padmasambhava from the cycle of The Tibetan Book of the Dead:Now when the bardo of dying dawns...
