(IV) The Obscure Hermetics : 1. In given stratums I witness awe Of ancient spirits Nocturnal crawl The clouds have gathered They blott out the moon Involving celestial masterpiece tune
Not deep revelation Pulls no evil cords With no recognition True elements’ lord Through hundreds of years I’ve sought for a bliss In a way to make gold from a mercury!
Chorus. Lies, no Wizard shall I play ...Our Father, listen Encroaching the powers of mage ...The gifts of Lyra For possessing the mazes of time ...Life is a nostrum I will join the damned for this crime
2. The cushion is solid Much better than hew Such elegant darkness Conceals diamond dew It gives absolution To make the whole world The only solution To all questions whirled
Not deep revelation Pulls no evil cords With no recognition True elements’ lord Through hundreds of years I’ve sought for a bliss In a way to make gold from a mercury!
Chorus. Lies, no Wizard shall I play ...Our Father, listen Encroaching the powers of mage ...The gifts of Lyra For possessing the mazes of time ...Life is a nostrum I will join the damned for this crime
End. A hero from nowhere I step to abyss... Quintessence’s provender The demon-disease...
And now I shall ask, hope, not sounding pathetic: “How did you like the obscure hermetics?”
