Wisdom

Discovering the forbidden fruit
First seed of wisdom
Decades behind curtains
don't bind you to shut your eyes
Except for those who are just slaves
Cutting my throat to make me able to breathe
These wounds will grow harvest
The surface looks usually deceitfully calm
but oh lord! how the devils dance beneath it
...and that's where I found my altar (for growth)
The bigger the storm the greater the survivor
Ten feet high waves and I still stand tall
And what I found was oceanwide
Must climb these mountains...
Must walk these regions...
Must face these waves...
...for they will bring me to shore

Agony
09:41
|

Sky divided in half and showed both its sides
Nature decayed only to be risen stronger than ever
Ground trembled and changed form
Sea raged murderous hunger
Storm killed thousands
This all happened in me
and turned into wisdom
The wine of Jesus Christ lasted twelve years and
it didn't even get me drunk
What vanity don't you think?
For one, the wine of Satan got me drunk in few years
and you know how they say
when drunk, people tell you the truth

Illumination
10:54

Suddenly I'm awake
- What is this place? Am I dead or dreaming?
A cold wall meets my hand
Cave full of craniums
No lantern to be found
so I stumble deeper
Cave echoes as I probe
- Is this the place they told me about?
- The place they say one must pass?
Answer hovers back with a morbid stench
- Do you see what it reads there on the corpses?
- Reincarnation
- The same is going to happen to you
I take the final steps
encouraged by a sip from the well of lunacy
for that is surely needed
One final look back and I see the corpses
but now with one more added
- A new light or is it a light at all?
- Walking in the darkness has finally yielded crop,
it echoes back
- Destruction is obligatory in the eyes of change
but the creation depends on yourself
These were its final words I remember
This lair old as our time
revealed to me many things
Some I didn't even want to hear
And what have I learned you ask
Well, this is carved on the cave's wall now:
Dwelling in agony or ecstasy
doesn't bring you wisdom
Understand the polarities
and rise above them
This is where the illumination lies

Lunacy
13:15
|
|||
No soil will prosper
without the final step
which requires madness
Break into the twilight (in your mind)
and embrace the uncharted
Pursuing insanity for increment
Freedom comes at a price of war
and that's when darkness is to be unleashed
For a man that is forever keeping his inner beasts inside
is going to be finally eaten by them
Elements dissolve into each other
The circle is complete
Metamorphosis
WAIL WAIL WAIL
And a new ouroboros emerges
A new level of consciousness
but still worlds to discover
Like when the sun has set a new dawn
night already lurks in the shadows of the morning
waiting for its return
And I have heard you can drown between them
Breaking the chains
Stepping into unseen territories
Lunacy, barter with the unknown...
...who holds the keys of the Cosmos?
