This volume brings together the major part of the words that I have written, or which have been written through me, for my dream channel Current 93 since I first opened her eyes in 1983. It also includes many previously unpublished poems, as well as lyrics that I have been asked to create for artists with whom I have collaborated.
In a small number of cases, I have also included short pieces by other individuals who contributed some of their words within a work that is otherwise my own; I have taken care to acknowledge their authorship. I have chosen not to add a small number of my texts which no longer sang of anyone or anything to me.
The title of this book is taken from an injunction by the Egyptian ascetic Pahōm, quoted by the Egyptian monastic leader Shenoute and recorded in a codex of the latter’s writings which originated from the White Monastery, of which he was the abbot. Properly speaking, the Coptic text is to be translated “sing to the Omega” but I have used the shorter, if slightly less accurate, translation of “sing Omega”. It seemed a fitting name to give this collection in view of my lifelong obsession with, and the influence upon me of, Christian apocalyptic and eschatology.
When I was young, I promised myself I would search for that Heavenly Mountain about which I had heard, and read, so much, and find the Invisible Church. It was only when I had reached the foothills of a Hallucinatory Mountain that I became aware that that Church resided elsewhere. And now I wait, with three cats on my lap, for the day when the Sun shall come upon us all like a thief in the night.
