ROB SPEAKING IN A ALIEN LANGUAGE

IT’S COLD IN SUNFIRE GLORY

FROM THIS POINT I RISE TO INFINITY…

(MANY INHUMAN SOUNDS)

(I AM STILL ATTEMPTING TO TRANSLATE CORRECTLY)

THE MESSAGE REVEALED FROM OUTER SPACE

THERE IS A LAND WHOSE BEAUTY IS ALMOST UNIMAGINABLE TO THE HUMAN MIND

[IN A DAZE?] WE STAND THERE AND LOOK FURTHER THAN THE ORDINARY EYE CAN SEE

CHILDREN, FAR ABOVE THE ROOF OF THIS WORLD

WE CAN ENCOMPASS VISTAS OF THE WORLDS

THERE IS A LAND WHERE THE SUN SHINES ETERNALLY

ETERNALLY, ETERNALLY

OUT THERE IN OUTER SPACE IS A LIVING, BLAZING FIRE SO VITAL AND ALIVE

THAT IT THERE IS NO NEED TO DESCRIBE ITS SPENDOR
