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
