Celestine by Alchemeon, from Alchemeon Live In Session Spring 2009.

• Celestine is a song of several parts.
• Sometimes it seems to be in the key of B minor, other times G major.
• In the end it resolves to D major.
• Celestine is an Alchemeon exclusive, having not been performed by the Spacegoats, nor any of the Masters of Drone bands such as Now or Laughing Sun.

CELESTINE Celestine they make their way Brothers to the water To cleanse the crystal in the head Still in silent laughter

The drop into the forehead Silver people roam To lace the time With story rhyme And drink the river’s daughter Drink the river’s daughter

Oh! La la la la…

Pyramids inside the mind They walk the crystalline To trade their scarlet thoughts for talk All wisdoms from the grail

Tower stands against the sky The people are not there Stone’s old voice speaks of an age The brothers hear and reel amazed The brothers hear and reel amazed

Oh! La la la la...

Wind through stone Your eyes and your ears Our time has come Wonder begun

Wind through stone Your eyes and your ears The time has come Wonder begun Wonder, wonder

Now to be Now to be Now to be Now to be Now to be

La la la la la…
