Expostulation

(album: Arcane Rain Fell - 2005)

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 unsheathed rapier
The falchion's forceful thrust
At the heart of thy empire, the Adam Kadmon
To impart to 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, it's 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 rise me a saviour and crown thee a liar
For this I strike with balanced blade
And spit upon the throes of thine angels' desire
