Tiber's maw
Stygian ark
The cock crows thrice
O'er these Seven Meridians
Seven Visions
Seven Gates
Seven Sigils
Scarred as I infix the seals
Entranced
Converging within
[Yoke of Hubris]
Crumbling spires, panegyric
To myriad tongues
Cacophonous swarm
The vainglorious
Heft their cornerstones
Downcast in their scrutiny
[Blood Ablaze]
Dawn of grey
Mine eyes sewn with iron
Let not a passing gaze
Seal my fate
Nor the offering of my brother
Churn my cruor
The penitential garb swallows me
[Cloak of Caustic Fog]
Stay thine fury
Travellers of the brume
Gather thy frock before the Tarsian
Unburden them of death
Rise from the dust
Though thine tears are stained
By the sting of woe
[Siren's Snare]
Doom-song of men
Let not thine eyes fall
On meanderings made in haste
Nor that which pilfers zeal
But ponder the call to the Forerunner
Whose head lies on silver
[Fleur de lys/Le profanateur et le traitre]
Souls cleaveth unto dust
As flames unto heretics
Who sought to claim obligation
From rift of iron and hoof
Cursed be the golden hand
That smote rapaciously
And trafficked in flesh of their race
[Cursed Be the Foes of Lapith]
Rivers of wine
Chastener of the Cloven
Buried by their desire
Fruits far from reach
Convulsing in their consummation
By order and vengeance tempered
Banished evermore
[Crossing Infernal Gates]
Tides of holocaust
A portal to Eternity
Invoke the child of Delos
A wreath of oak and horn
In devotion
And cursed be the smoldering ash
Of those swallowed by Ire

There, at once boundless field and all-encompassing arch,
Land of the free and unbonded above us!
Eternal and unpossessed,
Unless by Will alone,
Where eternal corridors may be wandered ‘twixt the uncreated pillars,
And still never leave the True Center.
Eternal dome: unlike to any wrought by Man,
Temple-vast, exceeding all creation,
Two paths spiral upon thy infinite archways.
Their Mystery; so akin to another in essence,
Yet one begins with an open hand,
The other, a fist!
Ascension
Descension
Oh Divine playfulness, may I become of you, dissolved into you,
Or take this Power by right of my nature,
Strong and free as the Eagle, who flies onwards to the Sun,
Wise as the Serpent encoiling.
Sol’s Enigma; a beauty that blinds,
A fire that gives creation, and life!
Burn you, or be you burnt,
Conquer you, or be you surrendered,
Your path lies open to the Sun.
Sword directed in dire contemplation,
Mind projected in action beyond action,
We join to the dance that ‘till now we’ve only gaped upon in wonder,
In a storm of high festival!
O pure revelry of souls!
For us, only one commandment: BECOME WHAT THOU ART
To us, one imperative: KNOW AND BE THY WILL
Behold: our strides invincible,
Breaking seal upon seal, to bind to ourselves Eternity!
Riding the wheel at its center, whipping with the victorious winds,
In fixed watch, to pierce and enter the Apex of Glory!
Union
Eagle of Stone, dwelling above and below,
Soaring yet, weightless, in the Abyss and the Heavens,
Sounding an unending cry, swooping through reality’s corridors,
The joyful spine and backbone of all contraries opposed,
You have taught us how to fly with stone wings,
The truly boundless freedom!
Oh pure, you who can embrace this as your nature,
That which is beyond Nature, yet within.
A vein of ore incomparable,
Elusive, furtive reaping and delving, hidden harvest,
And fleeting to the common eyes,
A Gold unlike any other,
That which seems too clearly to be Lead
Dissolution
Of such to shame all assertion as inadequate
More full of Will than any single cry of action can contain!
Victorious Surrender
To Self, who has Become
He is Brother in Arms, comrade and warrior,
Divine One who grasps,
SACRED DESECRATION
