1. BOUND TO ETERNITY

The quintessence embalms forever,
For the rose that bloomed on earth,
Solve et Coagula operates,
It's the dusk of the Dead Head !
The subtle is detached from the vulgar,
Mercury and Sulfur remain,
The body is ready for dissection,
Calcination takes place

One burns the petals,
The other the bones,
They are bound by an oath

They are the Red King and the White Queen together, allying
Glorious in a perfect wedding,
Order substance and sublimate spirit, balancing
Nature, and its generous gift of a being,
Like a drop of infinite power
Life, character and body
Bound to eternity

Salt shimmers with a thousand crystals,
Water reveals the envelope,
It communes with spirit and quicksilver,
It ends like a scarlet birth !
It heals all cracks, resurrects the Universe
For the glory of mankind
The Opus Magnum comes to fruition,
Nourished by the celestial fire

The golden egg
Is in gestation stage,
For an embodied marriage

They are the Red King and the White Queen together, allying
Glorious in a perfect wedding,
Order substance and sublimate spirit, balancing
Nature, and its generous gift of a being,
Like a drop of infinite power
Life, character and body
Bound to eternity
