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 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
