Adonai, elohim, el shaddai... |
|
Thou hast become the father of lies, |
|
And I serve thee, henceforth... no more |
|
Becoming thus the essence of sedition; |
|
The steadfast gleam of the unsheated rapier, |
|
The falchion's forceful thrust |
|
At the heart of thy empire... the adam kadmon |
|
To impart the knowledge - the cognizance - of thine |
|
For this I slither in aspect through eden's gleanings |
|
For this I bid cain slayeth his brother |
|
For this I rend the weakest salient of thy diadem, |
|
As I, its jewel and very metal shall reflect no more |
|
Your light - the light of enslavement; |
|
The essence of constancy and misaligned justice |
|
To a multitude that knows no freedom... |
|
Ignorant of how subtle the fetter tightens |
|
They shall raise me a saviour - and crown thee a liar |
|
For this I strike with balanced blade, |
|
And spit upon the throes of thine angels' desire |
|
I will not serve... henceforth |
