Lyrics
Vellum
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sacred words were scratched on sacred skins
Elemental curse to light a candle to
Turning darkness into light
Ancient hymns will light the words to come
Vellum, vellum, adoremus vellum
Vellum, vellum, adoremus vellum
Sacred words still speaking
To bring the message from the annals
Age-old meaning, answers for all times
Vellum, vellum, adoremus vellum
Vellum, vellum, adoremus vellum
Book of vellum, book of vellum
Sacred signs and symbols are painted there to find
Angels weeping, devils creeping on the margins of my mind
Soar with the eagle; the ox is standing on your page
The blind and the learned walk together (adoremus vellum)
To learn sacred things
Vellum, vellum, adoremus vellum
