| Poor fool, wih all this sweated lore
|
| I stand no wiser than I was before
|
| I know that ignorance is our fate
|
| On crooked ways or straight
|
| No dog would linger on like this
|
| So I turn to the abyss
|
| Evil spirit arise, I will join in your company
|
| Evil spirit arise, you only know what I want to see
|
| Evil spirit arise, tell me how everything ought to be
|
| Evil spirit arise, to lose my soul is my destiny
|
| Now, I know th emptiness of what I teach
|
| That man’s conversion is beyond my reach
|
| I know dread spirit this is you
|
| My heart is harrowed through
|
| I don’t care if I’m lost, this thing must be
|
| Though life should be the cost
|
| Than shall I see, with vision clear
|
| The meaning of sacred sign
|
| Mysterious spirit hovering near
|
| Answer me, if now you hear |
