From Wisdom to Hate

"Once the soul being taken over by the appetites, her intellect is darkened and makes no room for the sun of natural reason nor God's supernatural wisdom to come through and spread clarity. Ignorance burden themselves with extraordinary penances and many voluntary exercises. They think this ought to be sufficient to bring them to union with the divine wisdom. Even if they do not try to deny their appetites with diligence." Truth before your eyes Sheltered you in lies Through the cross, you'll find The peacefulness once promised Flesh denied for life By using Christ as an acolyte Enrolled in reclusion Serenity will be just illusion Upright you praise the serpent To God, you claimed being a servant Through sin, within you hold Your feebleness and filthy soul Why preaching about love and hate When blindness enlighten your own faith Inverted behavior Integrity is the only savior Deep, is, your devotion For the left-hand side Peace, you cannot give To the confessed ones False, is, your compassion For the crucified In which your true self Will persist to hide Truth before your eyes Sheltered you in lies Through the cross, you'll find The peacefulness once promised Flesh denied for life By using Christ as an acolyte Enrolled in reclusion Serenity will be just illusion

"The great Gods, in their council... caused me to attain unto the priesthood, which I desired. The offerings I brought were pleasing unto them. The sanctuaries of the great Gods who dwell in heaven and on Earth. My lords, I restored. Like real fathers they raised me, and instructed me in their exalted ways. Once upon history Man created his own deities Trust in divinities Kept enlightenment upon mysteries Behave through mythos Fictive idolatry Faith and praise for those still left unseen Searching veracity Myths dominate prophetically Behave through mythos Mortal perplexity Mind imprisoned in credulity Mental intricacy Truth being revealed through fake entities Behave through mythos Pure rationality Man's self-edified supremacy Senseless reality Mind-constructed tales praised slavishly Behave through mythos Fictive idolatry Man's self-edified supremacy Searching veracity Truth being revealed through fake entities Chaotic nought Reigns silently Upon an-ki Chaos being solved As mortal kneels Light shall be brought... thy mighty beings

"...By violating the oath sworn to me and not remembering the good I had done him, he had cast off the yoke of my sovereignty... I slew great numbers of his warriors, an immeasurable defeat I inflicted upon him. All the ones who had risen up with him I cut down with the sword." Chariot traces carved in sand Once more, pain, will expand my land Each arrow thrown Strengthen my throne Bounds to my realm, the sword shall set My blade was the one that you've last met With red-stained hands, The victor stands From wisdom to hate From wisdom to hate Intrude my peace... war, I’ll proclaim Your empty skull will be my gain I will, with greed Watch yourself bleed With envious eyes, on me you've sinned Each place I pass are left to ruins On your decline My reign will shine From wisdom to hate From wisdom to hate I am the one which none defies Warfare and I are unified Wisdom collapse Hatred soon will rise Chariot traces carved in sand Once more, pain, will expand my land Each arrow thrown Strengthen my throne Bounds to my realm, the sword shall set My blade was the one that you've last met With red-stained hands, The victor stands I am the one which none defies Warfare and I are unified

"Lured by dreams of conquest and promise of spoils, Assyria's warrior-kings built one of the mightiest nations of antiquity. by the seventh century B.C. King Assurbanipal reigned over an empire that extended from Egypt to Iran." Gain through terror Maintained the growth of my empire Pain caused by anger Maintained the fall of their empires Blinding, is, my crown Fearless, is, my throne Your land...

I behold, with greed Gain through terror Maintained the growth of my empire Pain caused by anger Maintained the fall of their empires Shadows of my hand Darkness on your land Forever and now You shall kneel and bow to me... slavishly

"For thousands of years no one was aware of the secrets these mounds concealed. Every fragment unearthed from the ancient sites recovers a part of human history that was lost, tells of beginnings, of the first cities ever built, of the first civilized men who lived in them, of their thoughts and doings..." Relics captured in stratas For millennia, have been sleeping Secrets of buried scriptures Are whispered through the sound of wind Kingdoms or dormant splendors For millennia, have been sinking Speaches of buried surfaces Are roaming through the seas of sand Realms, once back to light Archa-speaches are told Realms brought back to sight Archapolis beholded Rising the fragments Signs of previous lives Told to the present Lores of ancient times Unspeakable beauties Ruins of fabled places Soiled testimonies Of ancestor races Relics captured in stratas For ages, have been hiding Echoes from a lost era Can be heard through the sound of wind Kingdoms of radiant splendors For ages, have been shining Conquest of the conquerors Are covered by the seas of sand Unearthing the past Knowledge... concealed To the unborn one

"The disastrous drowning of the lost continent excites the imaginations of those who like to believe in long-forgotten civilizations. Atlantis deserves the credit for being the fountainhead of civilization.It had supported a superlatively-gifted people who thought up things like pyramids and hieroglyphs, and, migrating eastward and westward, were common source for both Egyptian and Mayan civilizations." Cursed by nature Hence sea confines... mystifies Haunting the mortal mind Since the mist of time As a myth, it had survived Praised, was, their knowledge Beyond its shores... idolized Their kingdom's splendid sites reigned high As perfection of mankind Drowned, entirely Within one night Swallowed, was, their empire In the mist of time Dreadful floods, none had survived The mighty Sola Terra Forever, fell asleep Mysterious sinking drama Lost in Daedalian deeps The mystic Sola Terra Forever, shall exist Within the grips of ocean Lost in abyssal mist Cursed by nature Hence sea confines... mystifies Haunting the mortal mind Since the mist of time As a myth, it had survived Drowned, entirely Within one night Swallowed, was, their empire In the mist of time Dreadful floods, none had survived The mighty Sola Terra Forever, fell asleep Mysterious sinking drama Lost in Daedalian deeps The mystic Sola Terra Forever, shall exist Within the grips of ocean Lost in abyssal mist

"...Immortality is that realization of an absolute freedom in self-source, and a concomitant and inescapable necessity in a ubiquitous immediate as the epitome of the lesser mysteries..."
