The Parliament of Owls is in session
But we cannot see their eyes
Their heads are looking behind them
Because owls do not move their eyes

What's coming comes from behind
It's not what is clearly seen, so visible now
It's the sickness afoot, the sickness coming
That's what the owls are looking for now

Sickness is afoot, evil's in full view
Sickness is afoot, where is our guide?
Sickness is afoot, what to do? What to do?
Sickness is afoot, where resides the guide?

Leonard wrote that magic is afoot
And Buffy sang his words
Leonard wrote that God is alive
And Buffy sang is words

But now, sickness is afoot,
And evil is alive, and where is our guide?
Sing the song that's in your dream
Dreams of the night will be our guide!

A Note…

In the dream I saw owls sitting on branches of a tree.
No eyes could be seen as they were all looking behind
them. A sound began to rise, I think it was from the owls,
singing the line, "Sickness is afoot." As I woke, I started
hearing Buffy St. Marie singing Leonard Cohen's words
from his book, "Beautiful Losers."

Dreams have to do with the future. Our conscious intentions
as well as our hopes are all formed from what we know,
from what is past. The owls know what is coming. Look to
dreams to provide the hints.
