Absent Illumination (The Transgressor)

At the height of the ecstasy, release The flesh cast aside The I was the self The fiction of language Not this I Now beyond apprehension and isolation Being itself without boundary Madness diverts the steam of consciousness Into the river of time There past, present, and future are one As preservation, creation, and dissolution Disorienting, tormenting, the rebirth into spirit form Relinquishing the solace of a past death in life None shall pass the gate unclean Corporality's disintegration Neural paths are rendered waveform Enter there and madness follows Hear Me! Bornless one Lord of this and all creation I am you, my knee won't bow No god shall come before myself Inscribed in the dancing flames, the signal of destiny Reach into the burning embers to claim the unearthed essence Shadows spell another fate, inversion of atonement When dead stars illuminate, godhood has been attained The deity within the self Perpetual immortal soul Come the signs of darkness, rebirth Disembodied, we've become Bring back the head of the gorgon Bring back the life giving flame Hermetic keys to transmutation Invocation of the unnamed Ascent through the chaos dementia Exploring the labyrinth of our darkest dreams Revision collective mythologies Becoming the absence of light in atonement Known in myth and in magic to sage from time immemorial A wizened hand points the perilous path strewn with remains of the unchanged While the paths of all the others reach the same end, death But for us, merely transformation, Ha Depart the realm of the senses Penetrate the mundane behind the veil Refusal of crystallization Effect transformation for stasis is the end
