All gathered here

Recant the night

The mercy of shade

Has no place in the fury of light

I grant my will

To these unquiet rites

'Neath lantern's eye

I begin a study of illuminism as I take flight

Solo: Carcarrion

Drag me through the doors of perception

Loosen the girders of my soul

They yearn to disclose

Whatever I'm not meant to know

The Dionysian mysteries

Or the great theistic divorce

I will creatе a substantial illumination

Or take it by force

Endure thе trials of excess

Behold, the palace of wisdom!

Here we drink the libation

In communion with the sleeping kingdom

Am I the tiger of wrath?

Or the horse of instruction?

Elixir vitae guide me along

This hallowed path beyond as above so below

Why frame the mind as a fortress

Unless you fear what lies outside

I open the gates

I permit the influences to reside

Cries escape the catacombs

Evoke iniquitous death

From the palace of memory

A cognitive insurgency

Permeates the veil

Between the twin realities

I heed the call of the outer

To fall between the perceived

Keres, claim my identity

An omen or a prophecy?

A captive of deceit?

Newfound or lost, I grieve

My own ascendancy invaded me

Solo: Naut

All gathered here

Revel in dreams

Discover the true will

(the prescribed) reality is not all it seems

Thirty-one

Anointed leaves

Between fact and wish

We are learning to paint with colours that are hitherto unseen

Solo: Carcarrion

Drag me through the doors of perception

Loosen the girders of my soul

They yearn to disclose

Whatever I'm not meant to know

The Chaldean Oracles

And the meaning in the rose

I will create a substantial illumination

Then take a dose
