lyrics

יהוה:

[0] "No-thing" is that which exists,
And at the start, is that which is.
But from "thing-ness" it is disjoint,
And thus contracts to a single point.

Now boundaries surround the nought,
Of the אין סוף's mysterious thought.
Thus, beyond the boundaries of,
[A1] "No-thing" is "all things" in potential form.

Here is now cast the First Crown -
The First, by chaotic waters undrowned.
אֶהְיֶה, I am! in all things found,
And so I craft the twenty-two sounds.


EDRIS:

Teach me now of what succeeds,
The thing-ness which from nought was freed,
I have my thoughts - my body bleeds,
So plant in me the cosmic seed.

What are called the named infinities,
Which wholly represent your qualities?
What are called "of אטזילות?"
Speak to me eternal truths.


יהוה:

[A2] The Wisdom is יהוה, the Essence of Being,
[A3] The Understanding is הוה אלים, God of Gods,
[A4] The Mercy is אל, God the Creator,
[A5] The Severity is אלים גיבור, God the Potent.
[A6] The Beauty is אלוה ואדאת, God the Strong,
[A7] The Victory is יהוה צבאוט, God of Hosts,
[A8] The Glory is אלוהים צבאוט, Lord God of Hosts,
[A9] The Foundation is שדאי אל צ'אי, Omnipotent.


EDRIS:

Teach me now of what succeeds,
The abstract world - the worlds beneath,
Which are contained thereafter Nine,
[A10]Within the whole of אדוני.

What are called the named infinities,
Which wholly represent the qualities,
Of formation? Speak it clear:
What is held within בריה?


יהוה:

[B1] METATRON, Angel of Presence, Crown,
[B2] RAZIEL, Herald of Deity, Wisdom,
[B3] TSAPHKIEL, Contemplation, Understanding,
[B4] TSADKIEL, Justice, Mercy,
[B5] SAMAEL, Severity of God,
[B6] MICHAEL, like unto God, Beauty,
[B7] HANIEL, Grace of God, Victory,
[B8] RAPHAEL, Divine Physician, Glory,
[B9] GABRIEL, Man-God, Foundation.


NARRATOR:

Whence there clapped great thunder in the sky,
The night made bright by repeated lightning strikes,
As the young man's visions did start to close,
He saw that he'd been taken by the water's flow.


EDRIS:

Tell me now - where have I been?
By such deep truth, my mind is freed,
But I know not where my eyes see,
By this shore, now far downstream.
I am cold - my body shivers,
Alone with no food, my strength does wither,
My arms do shake, my legs they quiver,
As I climb now from the river.


יהוה:

With you I am not done yet!
These sacred words you shan't forget,
For such an act would, lo, beget,
This torrent of sorrow, which I would let.
Know: I am a jealous God,
There is one truth; there is one law.
These things in union are יסוד,
And, oh, it's bounds you shan't ignore.
