I think I might be the angel of death,
it’s my unthinking touch that drains, leaves nothing left.
I think I might be the one that they said
would come, closing the doors on the light at the end.
I think I might be the angel of light
that shines, showing too much, with the heat that ignites -
in my right hand the flame, in my left is the blight,
but I’ve learned to deny the truth, quiet and polite.
I think I might be the angel of truth -
you said I could be anything, here’s what I choose:
perpetual increase, never reduced
and I’ll stand for my right as the angel of truth.
I think I might be the angel of death
but nobody’s moved to protect themselves yet.
I think I might be the one that they said
bent down, touching her lips to each fading forehead.
I think I might be the angel who calls
with a million clear voices of sinew and gold
and a host of nine heavenly souls in the walls:
a force never earned that I’ve learned how to hold.

My god, what an absolutely incredible Suite. I'll admit, I've struggled to get into Pharoah Sanders due to diving headfirst into some of his most challenging catalogue and that never worked. This is the perfect place to restart. Floating Points is new for me and I can honestly say I've never heard synthesizer music this lush and organic before. the LSO is just perfect. This is one of those albums that any serious music fan needs in their life. The perfect swan song for the great Pharaoh! 5/5 ClassyMusicSnob
