"Vellum" lyrics

"Vellum"

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...
