Heroes hands drain stones for blood
To whet the scaling knife.
Magi blind with visions light
Net death in dread of life.
Their children kneel in Jesus till
They learn the price of nails,
Whilst all around our mother earth
Waits balanced on the scales.
In The Wake of Poseidon – King Crimson
For which of you,
desiring to build a tower,
does not first count the cost to see
if he has enough to complete it?
Luke 14:28
