I have a favor to ask of anyone here that has Sanctuary. I lost the liner notes to this album, and I want to cover Bowl Of The Altar, both acoustic (eventually) and electric. I know the lyrics for the most part, but I get them turned around/in the wrong order.
Can someone post the lyrics for this song, especially the end parts where Tim is talking about "his eyes became as blood....he sank into himself/I am Ion, priest of the inner sanctuary...etc..."
I'd really appreciate anyone taking the time to do this.

BOWL OF THE ALTAR
fifteen steps, lower then higher
vision of a sacrificer
standing up on an altar
in the shape of a bowl
the casting away of the body
Ion informs a rule of harmony
the entrance, the exit, and the
transformation
those who seek to obtain the art,
enter here
woven together and undone again,
in the bowl of the altar
heaving and seething
and boiling the skin
this will not falter
the fixed wing of your body, at
the entrance
deconstruct, wings made unreal
golden man, waiting in the vision
pulling his hands to become real
now's the TIMe to speak, now's the
TIMe to hear....all things flourish
and all things fade
i am Ion the priest of the Inner
Sanctuary, I submit myself to
unendurable torment
i dismembered myself, and I have
become spirit
his eyes became as blood
he spewed forth all his own flesh
he tore his flesh with his own
teeth, and sank into himself
now's the TIMe to speak
now's the TIMe to hear
how does nature teach
giving and receiving?
Heaven gives and the earth
receives

ROFL. Not at all nitpicky. I didn't even see that. Thanks for pointing it out, because I would have overlooked it EVERY time I came to this board.
