A long poem composed by The Family, recounting the descent of the various manifestations of Xipe, the Thousand-Faced Great One.
A Hymn of Charmonic Strings
O, Great One of Paradise, Prayers you suckle from the millions gathered here, and the masses' heartstrings you play, Stars trace your fingers and command all living's law and authority. Dominicus, do you hear? The road ahead is dark without anything. Thus authority points to the right, and the chaos coalesces into a river of stars, Thus law points to the left, and that which hinders vanish into mist, Sweet dreams nowadays have manifested, and the gazillions of old laws have all faded away.
O, Great One of Paradise, I sing praises in the fountain of your performance, calling for the love of the fathomless sky, Within the theater, there lies a mercy that appeases and offers salvation to the world. Constantina, do you hear? The audience's tears are washing this face. Should you sing, then the sun will shine for you, Should you play music, then filth will speed to slumber, The Thousand Faces' plays shall never cease, and the eternal theaters forever linked.
O, Great One of Paradise, Caress this scripture that is stained by blood on the battlefield, and kiss my longsword of bone and soul, Life is howling, and the sharp blade of streaming colors hangs high. Aelenev, do you hear? The soldiers' bones are buried at the end of the world. Comrades' whisper united, and the gospel can be heard for miles long, Blissful rain pours out thus, and one person equals to thousands. Thought they be the invincible steeds and death, they too long for their home deep in their soul.
O, Great One of Paradise, I invite you to cast your gaze upon the other side of brilliance, and to attend the feast of this paradise. The world is a ball, laughter resounds till the end. Beatriz, do you hear? Singing, dancing, joys transcend. Sorrows have nowhere to hide, and desire tiptoes, Feast! Feast! Boundless happiness! Boundless happiness! Even babes show a smiling face. Dance! Dance! Towards that honey-sweet paradise.
