What do you call a friend that you cant call a friend?
"I read the news today, oh boy..."
The cause that led to the end
"And, I just had to laugh, I saw the photograph..."
"I'd love to turn you on..."

O, the air of Luggala, land of faerie and abandon
Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson
Britain's Golden Girls, supranational financiers
Where power came to play, and play came to power.

"Was Percy Thrillington the Guinness heir?"
"Did he live out his days in a shack?" "Fancy that."
"Oh, he wanted to give it all away--"
"Brave, foolhardy lad." "Did he make the grade?"
In the halcyon days of post-War psychic sorcery
Half-life of the afterglow, warmth of the phoenix
Unicorns, rampant lions, the British invasion
The lingering langue prolonged in song
A bond from the scions of a divine bloodline
The miraculous Stones manufactured for television
Egalitarianism, Templar crucible
Oh, Bright Young Things: awaken revolution.
Reflect what vexed all old absolution
Our bodies meld on the hill of Tara
As we drink the ale of remembrance
"Oh, someday, we'll have a ball
Yes, we'll have a ball to end them all.."

The song that came to Paul in a dream...
[Near St. John's Wood; down by the old Priory Gate.
Headquarters for the Order of the British Knights of St. John]
Was "Yesterday".
"The English army had just won the war..."
Living with Dr. Asher, daughter Jane
[Retrofit for the Master of Revels in Elizabethan time
Anticipates the modern crusade for the hearts and minds;
New Jerusalem (((mk-ultra mind control experiments))) ]
Alchemical wedding, "Sun King"

But, then, they broke it off--
Ariadne's thread can't bear the weight
Summer of Love, Six Day War
The End of History, Mythic Death
Markets collapse, debt for profit
Global contamination, political assassination
Acid-trance revolution, Western hegemonic power-grab
Psychedelia, oh, where did it leave us?
Beautiful dream, so sweet to deceive us
Free love--a diversion. Sent from "Egypt Station"
An alternate timeline--"Return to Pepperland"
Now, they're terraforming Mars--before the poles shift
When, there was a garden
"O, the air of Luggala, land of faerie and abandon"
And, the son of a lord, a bridger of worlds
Snuffed out of history.
It could have made a world of difference

The Guinness Heir
(The MacGuffin is Paul is Tara is, etc.)
Wasn't there
[The Four of Wands, the Three of Swords
The course of swans, druidic force]

The Guinness Heir
[Ley lines, fey rhymes
Forgotten word around the wood]
Wasn't there
[Unlit dome, untold thoughts,
Imprisoned lightning, all is naught]

The fount of our despair: the dream forsaken
From the beginning: bardic mystery
Arthur's Round Table, Shakespeare and the King James Bible
John, Paul, Ishtar's ring of stars
St. George slays the Time Lord: Quetzalcoatl-Infiniti-
Embedded in the beginning of time
The magic in the tragic,
revolutionary, conspiracy
Moses, Akhenaten, Oedipus, Hamlet
Harmonic imperfection of western intonation
Solar storms, precessional shift
Transhumanism awaits
The Tree of Life casts apart the husk
The apple star is fallen
Hallowed seed, redeem us

The fount of our despair: the dream awakens

Never to be any other way, we'll all be magic anything
We honor those who've gone for they can guide us
