Sun Ra - The Fire and the Dry Weeds (1967)

The Fire and the Dry Weeds (1967)*

Cast the fire upon the dry weeds

Cast it upon the enclosed lamentables

They are ready now for the fire.

Cast it upon them without warning

That they may burn eternally with

The living fury of the spirit fire.

Cast the fire upon the dry weeds

There is no time to tell them why.

They must walk the bridge to the Cosmic-Age

They must walk the bridge...

The bridge of the Living words of Life.

Cast the fire upon the dry weeds

Cast it upon the enclosed lamentables,

This is the spirit hour of the fire.
