Expostulation Lyrics


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
