Taking the sacrament

New recruits are invited to affirm their commitment to the Order of Eternal Tranquility in a devout ceremony that includes ingesting the sacred wafer.

Look up into the clear, vast, moonless night
And feel the yearning well up from within.

We are made of stars,
Now let us reunite.

From here, the splayed celestial pelt is bright
So thick you almost stroke with outstretched hand.

We are made of stars,
Now let us reunite.

Slow close your eyes and use your inner sight
To find the wide-spaced atoms in your husk.

We are made of stars,
Now let us reunite.

Hold still and grasp the cardinal insight
There is no rift from core to furthest reach

We are made of stars,
Now let us reunite.

Let truth and vision whet your appetite
Commit yourself to take the final step.

We are made of stars,
Now let us reunite.

It only takes a minuscule snakebite
To turn the key, unwind your mortal coil

We are made of stars,
Now let us reunite.

Release yourself, rejoin your natal light,
Your outworn body strewn to smithereens

We are made of stars,
Now let us reunite.
