Far Into The Kingdom of Heaven Bright by James Koppel published on 2017-05-10T18:36:28Z A filk about the book Unsong (www.unsong.com). Spoilers up to chapter 20. Based on "Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold," specifically the Clamavi De Profundis cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8ymgFyzbDo . Thanks to the creator of https://soundcloud.com/royishere/stars-as-sung-by-quirrel for inspiring me to make this. I also have a work-in-progress of me singing over the Clamavi De Profundis instrumentals, which are turning out very poorly. -------------- Far into the Kingdom of Heaven bright Through endless spires, yond mortal sight We must find a way ere end of days To save the dwindling Divine Light Rabbis of yore made mighty spells While words were scribed from deep inkwells Their golems sown of gold and stone Formed a match ‘gainst those of Hell’s Those holy scrolls containing all things true That endless fractal they pondered too But four have known Adam Kadmon Comet King, Ha'ari, Uriel, Sohu Angels of old, praise to God they wrote While Divine Light shone through Sefirot In choirs they sang, their voices rang Kadosh kadosh Adonai tz’vaot Far into the Kingdom of Heaven bright Through endless spires, yond mortal sight We must find a way ere end of days To rekindle the Divine Light Names of God, they discovered for themselves From deepest Torah, where no man delves In precious awe, the Kabbalah Endless truth awaits thee on these shelves Deep in Earth, there found Sataniel A hand of God, named Thamiel The dark he learned then he returned Spread the word; the angels fell From the earth there came an unholy tune The angels heard the tramp of doom From might of Hell, the kingdom fell They hid in clouds beneath the moon The world transformed under the great machine The angels morphed into forms unseen The Light was gone; and science dawned Till the sky cracked and broke the machine Far into the foes of Heaven dim Through darkest gates of eternal sin We must find a way ere end of days To protect our souls from him! Far into the Kingdom of Heaven bright Through endless spires yond mortal sight
