Serpent Sun |
| Awake my void-drunk eyes |
| Amidst the tumult of filth and rats |
| Awake amidst the waves of dismal Lethe |
| And behold in truth at last |
| Sunk and sunk and sunk have I |
| Into skin and sin and sleep |
| Yet this wasteland has revealed a gate |
| And my heart holds its key |
| O pierce the webs of dream |
| Pierce my cold lifeless heart |
| Nightbringer, lightbringer |
| Infernal firstborn spark |
| Ignite my funeral altar |
| And let me rise like the dawn |
| From the dregs of darkest ignorance |
| To the blinding light of your throne |
| So grant me now that sacred drink |
| From the spring of memory |
| Grant me those secret songs |
| That shall lull the stars to sleep |
| And when the night falls blackest |
| In the slumbering underground |
| Shall my woken soul take flight |
| On the rays of the serpent sun |
| I dance in maddest fervor |
| Ever backwards through death’s door |
| And beneath my hooves of steel |
| Break the masks that I once wore |
| O, see how bright it burns |
| That fire for which I seek |
| That the faces of angels boil off |
| And their ashes sing its majesty! |
| Praise thee! |
| Mystery! |
| The muses of the ogdoad! |
| That thine secret psalmody |
| Paeon! |
| Apollon! |
| Speak through me thine prophecy! |
| Higher and higher! |
| Beyond the seven I shall reach |
| Blind my sight with gold and blood and lapis lazuli |
| Deeper and deeper! |
| Into the very heart of the sun |
| Below the shadows fall in multitude |
| But here the light is one |
