“See, there shines a torch amid the graveyard of heaven's assembly, A spark in the weary pupilla of oblivion. Awake in the kingdoms of primordial slumber And steadfastly alight in hollowed space. A burning meteor cast into the waters of the underworld, As a fire ripen in shade and bloomed in tartarus' mire.” “See, I am a secret star drunk on and drenched in the blood of the dragon's heart, Pulsating within the depths of eternity. A black glistening eye that pierces through the borders of sequence and form. For I am the bringer of night enthroned at the centre of all darkness, Luring with of the riddled light of all lights.” Praise thee, o midnight sun! Praise thee, o hidden one! Towards the heights within the depths Rise and become! By the left-hand of reaping And words without breath Self-crown thee with night's diadem Within the temple of death Enshrined in deep midnight Death and life the self-same The candle of wisdom |Betwixt the black horns of twain And speak now his name! And speak now his name! Ye have become death! The all-slaying athame O lord of deep midnight The sun of black flame! The crux of the high sabbath Night's power untamed Hail to thee Light of that sun which shineth bright At midnight's hour, in the night Of body's senses overturned, Withdrawn in silence of the tomb. Laid bare beneath the daimon's glance, Which pierceth sharp as any lance The centre of my flaming heart.
