Know that thou must walk

The steps of the ladder of lights

Each in its place

One at a time

Thou must enter

The gates in the lawful manner

As in the covenant

Else, thou art surely lost

Then can he hope

To have power

Over the demons that plague

The mind and the body

Pulling at the hair

Grasping at the hands

Screaming vile names

Into the airs of the night

For what comes on the wind

Can only be slain

By he who knows the wind

What comes on the seas

Can only be slain

By he who knows waters

Thus is it written

In the ancient covenant
