| Lyrics: | By silverfish imperetrix, whose incorrupted eye
Sees through the charms of doctors and their
wives
By salamander, drake, and the power that was undine
Rise to claim Saturn, ring and
sky
By those who see with their eyes close
They know me by my black telescope
Your
green tree mantle from which these things derive
A lens of quartz and refract spoke that crystal
lens
Whose crystal rope once bound me to those
Doctors and wives
When my vision was
oh, so cloudy
And I saw things through two eyes
I am a sailor on the raging depths
And I
know a thing or two
Back to the corner mates and over the side
Yes I know a thing or
two
By silverfish imperetrix, whose incorrupted eye
Sees through the charms of doctors
and their wives
By salamander, drake, and the power that was undine
Rise to claim Saturn,
ring and sky
By those who see with their eyes closed
you'll know me by my black
telescope
Before my great conversion when the ridge was closed
Before my visit to the
workshop of telescopes
By silverfish imperetrix, whose incorrupted eye
sees through the
charms of doctors and their wives
By salamander, drake, and the power that was undine
Rise
to claim Saturn, ring and sky
By those who see with their eyes closed
you'll know me by my
black telescope |
