Ekstasis Lyrics


[ENLIGHTENMENT - Episode 3:

The entheogen. Through the use of a root, a transmutation of consciousness occurs: the "state of tree." A disruptive access to the mind. A glimpse into the process of self-creation. The essence of The Serpent speaks.]

[Adam:]

Serpentine… Fruit orphidian… Gifting… Root-sin

Viperous… Oh, so snakely… Gifting… Truth-bin

Sweet rapture, see who I lie… Me, shelter afar…

Afire-frost, father… Bearer, butcher, mother…

Inverted-eye I fruitify to see… and self-deserted I choose to be tree

Vampire of land – Brute-seeker, nature-damned

Somebodyness. Memorylessness. Unloneliness. Togetherlessness.

[Adam & Serpent:]

It gains, gains way – The fruitful mind is forging the man

Blooming, all has gone away in pain.

[Adam:]

While I-child… As I-progeny… When I-cub… Since I-man to be

Lone still… though rains gray no more

Befoul still… I pour no rain!

[Adam & Serpent:]

Lone still… though rains gray no more

Befoul still… rain’s broke as

It gains, gains way – The fruitful mind is forging the man

Blooming, all has gone away again and again and again and again...

Again.
