Oh instrument of God force - | |
Fed on ignorance and lies, | |
So blind and narrow-minded | |
That you cannot compromise. | |
Even the most foolish theif | |
Should know what he is taking - | |
Lest he find himself within a | |
Cage of his own making. | |
The Ways of Wyrd are many and | |
Our path you must decide, | |
For the secrets that you seek | |
Are all around you- | |
Use your eyes. | |
The threads cannot be broken | |
That have brought you here to me - | |
And bind two foes together | |
Like the best of enemies. | |
You gaze upon me - | |
I can tell what you see, | |
A simple man - | |
With simple thoughts and | |
Simple needs. | |
Superstition - | |
Preying on a mind filled with fear, | |
Opposition- | |
To all your 'enlightened' ideas. | |
Yet I will show you more than | |
You can comprehend, | |
Beware delusion is a | |
Dangerous friend. | |
Ask loaded questions seeking | |
Knowledge of a faith that | |
You wish to pervert - | |
All our values, | |
With hidden meanings | |
You try concealing your | |
Underlying wish to convert - | |
'heathen' souls, | |
To a faith that will doubtless | |
Send our Gods to the grave - | |
Mistake you're making overlooking | |
The fact that we might not want | |
To be 'saved'. | |
(THE SORCERERS CREED:) | |
Fear is an old friend of mine, | |
We have met many times before. | |
(Drawn to these spirits like | |
Moths to a flame- | |
When there is no risk then | |
There can be no gain). | |
Death is a harsh fact of life | |
You cannot avoid or ignore. | |
The Life-force is as strong in | |
You as it is strong in me, | |
The difference is what you | |
Hold captive I set free. | |
You seek to subjugate all | |
Those who won't comply, | |
I'll take your prejudice and | |
Pride and show you why - | |
The values that you hold so dear | |
(all your laws and rules), | |
They hold no more sway here | |
Than the mutterings of fools. | |
Just look about you and | |
I'm sure that you will find - | |
Heaven lies within our hearts | |
And Hell is but a figment of | |
Your mind. | |
These teachings that you deem so | |
Sacred bcome words devoid of meaning, | |
When compared unto a faith that | |
Preaches something worth believing. | |
What is to become of us when | |
Truth is turned to lies, | |
Will none remain to wipe the tears | |
When Mother Nature cries? | |
Proceed with caution - | |
Subservient to all you survey, | |
Hidden dangers await us on | |
Each step of our way. | |
Do not falter - | |
For if you do you will fall, | |
Prey unto perils far worse | |
Than you've encountered before. | |
Compared unto the threats we face | |
Your devil seems so mild, | |
A relic from the faerie-tales my | |
Mother told me as a child. | |
Why do you carry your God | |
Like a weapon - | |
A dagger drawn ready to strike | |
At the heart of a foe when you | |
Don't really know the reason | |
That you fight? - | |
To replace our disgrace with | |
The 'loving' embrace of your Lord - | |
Can't you see that the plans | |
Made for me and my people | |
To us seem absurd. | |
(THE SORCERORS CREED:) | |
Death is the only recourse | |
I require in my hour of need. | |
(Drawn to the spirits like | |
Moths to a flame - | |
When there is no risk then | |
There can be no gain). | |
Impassive it shows no remorse | |
For folly and greed. | |
Pre-emptive prejudice has | |
Dogmatised your life, | |
These blinkered views that once | |
Held true will no longer suffice. | |
For in my world there is no point | |
Where you can draw the line, | |
'twixt good and evil, | |
Saint and sinner, | |
Damnate and divine. | |
Shaven-headed servant of | |
An infantile faith - | |
By what right do you presume | |
To come and take my place? | |
If there is one grain of truth | |
Amidst your hoard of lies, 'tis | |
"Love your neighbour as yourself" | |
With this alone I can abide. | |
These teachings that you deem so | |
Sacred bcome words devoid of meaning, | |
When compared unto a faith that | |
Preaches something worth believing. | |
What is to become of us when | |
Truth is turned to lies, | |
Will none remain to wipe the tears | |
When Mother Nature cries? | |
THE WAY OF THE WARRIOR | |
When living your life | |
Like an arrow in flight | |
You must always accept that | |
The end is in sight, | |
Be gtateful at least for the fact | |
That you knew you came to death - | |
He did not come for you. | |
You are like targets | |
Who sit and await - | |
Patiently suffer | |
The arrows of fate, | |
Saying "I am but mortal | |
And destined to die - | |
I can change nothing | |
So why should I try?" | |
Each morning you wake is an | |
'ember day' dawning, | |
Your penance for living in | |
Permanent mourning. | |
By erst while ideals your | |
Hearts are enslaved, | |
You crawl out of the cradle | |
Straight into the grave. | |
What reward is a banquet | |
Of red wine and bread, | |
When you hunger for life - | |
But on death you are fed? | |
Do not underestimate | |
The task you undertake, | |
Overcome your hopes and fears | |
And meet them face to fate. | |
These spirits aren't your enemies - | |
But neither are they friends, | |
Do not dare insult them lest | |
All nature you offend. | |
They who were here before us | |
Will remain when we have gone, | |
And though we're long forgotten | |
Still their memory will live on. | |
Perhaps one day mankind will see | |
The error of it's ways, | |
And in it's future glimpse | |
Reflections of our yesterdays. | |
Drawn to these spirits like | |
Moths to a flame - | |
When there is no risk | |
Then there can be no gain. |
