Final rites for a birthing

• Artist: I Am Teh Antichrist
• Description: As you can see, there are a few "odd" words in there. So, I will explain their meaning.
  
  Reseau is a thing that lace is normally made on;
  Eratosthenes is a deep crater on the moon;
  Ergo is another word for so or therefore
  Swoon, is like fainting with joy.
  Nirvana here means enlightenment as defined by Buddhism.
  Reep is gathering plants, and sowing is planting plants.

Make the reseau on lacey linen
while summer follows fall.
Find the thing ne’er hidden
while Eratosthenes towers above all

Ergo the dumb shall speak,
and the blind man seems to swoon
at the first sight of the moon.
Look, cowards so bravely fight the meek.

The deaf man silents all to listen
to the movement of the cloud.
You say you want smooth transition
It’s your way to nirvana now.

Can’t we simply reap then sow
The benefits we seek?

Or do we forget to go
back to being meek?

Fading in;
and out again.

The day is growing dark.
The trees are growing stark.
And mighty falcons fall!
To the feeble meadowlark
And in this mighty might hall;
I beg for you to stay
Just one more -
one more day.

‘cause I can’t take this anymore -
When up is down,
and dark is light.

and here...
and there...
when we have it all...
it means nothing's left...
nothing's left...
and only then we fall.

Lol - i'm a word geek. I read alot, and when I find words that sound cool I remember them. Like anathema (my favorite word of all time) which is a formal curse; or an person or thing extreamly hated. Also, an edit for it; the last stanza is now the following

"and here...
and there...
when we have it all...
it means nothing's left...
nothing's left...
and only then we fall.
