lyrics

Harkening unto all wandering souls,
Whose minds do seek to break their moulds;
Whose minds increasingly grow old,
And on dogmas they are not sold.
Neither the absence! (Meaning is nought)
And neither the conjured meaning-rule forms,
Which plague the minds of men today,
Whose minds are controlled - gone astray.

Neither the absence! (Meaningless thoughts)
And neither those religious forms,
Which postulate and conclude thus,
With fantasies, but meaning-less!
But there is light (I herald it in!)
The Scriptures do contain within,
A symbolised and concealed truth,
Which to raised minds it does so shew.

"Remove the deities of the foreign nations,
which are in your midst, purify yourselves
and change your clothes.

And we will arise and go up to Beth el,
I will make an altar to that which dwelled,
Within me on the day of my distress, and
Was with me on the way that I went."

But this man is not a man;
As Tiferet his name doth stand.

Piercing not the minds of fools,
For whom symbols art not the tools,
Of the raised initiate:
Those men whose lives are bound to fate.
Concealed thus from each and all,
Yet each being within its thrall,
The Eternal exists alone,
And reigns supreme from its sole throne.

Neither the absence! (Shapeless form)
And neither those religious forms,
Which postulate and conclude thus,
With fantasies, but meaning-less!
But there is G-d (Of It I do sing!)
The Scriptures do contain within,
A symbolised and concealed truth,
Which to raised minds it does so shew.

"[The man] saw that he could not overpower Jacob, so he touched his hip joint;
which was dislocated as he wrestled with him"

"And we will arise and go up to Beth el,
I will make an altar to that which dwelled,
Within me on the day of my distress, and
Was with me on the way that I went."
