1.
A blare of the great gathering shook the skies Millions of birds arrived from all over the firmament And in unity, they asked the Hoopoe "Who shall be the one true ruler of all?" "Our sovereign shall be the benevolent one She who brings fortune and glory to our lands She who bears the messages of the eldest and she of splendiferous colours." He chanted.
2.
Enchanted by the hymns to the sacred goddess, the birds began their journey to find their one true queen The path was harsh and unfortunate Yet it was the price they were willing to pay From dawn to dusk, and from dusk to dawn, they flew through the seven valleys of ascension They cast aside all dogmas in the valley of the quest They left reason for the beloved in the vale of love Through the dale of knowledge, they found out they knew nowt And in the vale of detachment, they gave up to the world around In the valley of Unity, to their shock, they saw the beloved above all else In the vale of wonderment, drenched in awe, they found out they understood nowt And in the end, as they entered the gorge of Annihilation They dissolved into the universe, those who remained
3.
To drown in the fathomless void and become timeless To merge the lost souls into the core of existence To become a broken shadow of what once was To die in darkness and rise as the mightiest of all And at that moment they awoke as the one true queen She of splendiferous colours, the eternal Simurgh
4.
Look through the flames of eternity, my precious children! What do you see but blood, death, and the demise of men? Remember, that this arduous life you know will come to an end and your monuments of war and tyranny will fall and burn. From the ashes of the fallen, an emerald world will arise and I will be the eternal queen of that sacred paradise. I am the mightiest of all, I am the brightest of stars I am the benevolent one, who brings order to the chaos

about

She is of eternal flames.
She is of sheer nobility.
She is the essence of all existence and what is beyond.
She is Simurgh, the resplendent manifestation of what we call life.
