Descending or rising like aphoenix who knows
Descending or rising like a a phoenix, who knows
Angels of above and below whirl and mix on Chepstow road
And you may be blessed or damned at the same moment, even canonized
Matters of faith and doubt come to merge in the pagan yet religious masquerade
It is in the human nature to wear two faces according to momentary circumstances
