Lyrics

 The man:  
Toward the gilded throne of Lies  
That unspoken Truth silently defies  
I walk the path of disappointment  
Awaiting verity’s anointment  
Marveling at its machinations  
In awe of divine creations  

The God:  
Left behind an empty shell  
To embrace Creation’s throes  
Travel through the smoke of Time  
Along its ebb and flow  

The man:  
Carved in stone  
Engraved in sinew, stored in cells  
That bear the memory  
Of otherworldly beings  
And strike Cosmogonic Bells  

The God:  
Struck the Bells you have  
The hour of Gehenna is at hand  
Should you open your vision fully  
See shall you the corruption of the land  

The man:  
I look upon the Great Face  
And behold its Crown of Light  
A horizon of Eternity stretches out before me  
But alas, I remain blind  
I wish to Know, to behold  
Its infinite beauty, its vastness  
To taste its countless flavors  
To See its vast expanses  

The God:  
Carry the cross that bears within your Sin of Sight  
Prostrate yourself before me now  
Bow before what I’ve attained  
My strength, my might  

Chorus:  
The man:  
I wished to see  
And I saw  
And behold  
The sorrow  

The God:  
You wished to see  
So you saw  
And behold  
I was born  

The man:  
Geburah!  

The God:  
Chochmah!  

The man:  
Malkuth!  

The God:  
Kether!  

Both:  
Ascend! / Fall!  

The man:  
And it was then, at the peak of my focus of Will, that I saw  
The God:  
And what I saw… was not what I had hoped to see, what I dreamt so long of seeing  
Both:  
For what I saw was poison to my spirit..
