The Blazing White Fire
The lamb has cast fire onto the whole Earth
The small lamb is guarding it until it blazes.
For all of us to become pearls of great worth
Dividing the new from the old, sing praises
Dividing the pure element from the dirt, pray
Dividing light and dark, like the moon’s phases
This is not flame which has no fixed form at all
This fire is as white as a lamb all the way
White in purity, bright and exceptional
The lion-faced king will be melted away
Every piece of Earth will be destroyed by fire
All the pearls will return to the lamb to stay
