Expostulation

歌詞

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 unsheated rapier The falchion's forceful thrust At the heart of thy empire... the adam kadmon To impart the 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, its 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 raise me a saviour - and crown thee a liar For this I strike with balanced blade And spit upon the throes of thine angels' desire I will not serve... henceforth
