יהוה:

Now your journey is complete:
With full heart all time you'll greet,
Adverse thoughts you may defeat,
And thus ascend to Holy seat.

You see My nature - all,
Which now captures and enthralls:
My world, with boundary walls,
From which Lucifer did fall.


EDRIS:

The old truths now lie shattered,
As I see that which links matter -
This lesser world of atoms,
Arranged in fractal patterns -

With that world which did arise,
From chaos waters, far and wide,
Which was symbolized as sky,
By many sages, deeply wise.


SOPHIA:

See all starless nights,
Be overcome by truth alone.
Usher in the endless light,
Set eyes upon the throne.


NARRATOR:

The young man took to the path beside,
Which the river did lie,
Making hasty strides.
Urgency with him in force,
Great hunger he could not ignore,
Onwards he strode with suppressed thoughts.


EDRIS:

Now great oaks, they pass me by,
Which shield from me the brightening sky,
As dawn vanquishes the night,
Still, here, I am without the light.
On this way, I walk for hours,
Through trees, which over me do tower,
And, though no light, I smell the flowers,
With their sweetest fragrance, I'm overpowered.


NARRATOR:

Then the young man fell unto the earth,
As his body did ache and his mind, it hurt,
So he collapsed in a heap on the dawn's new dew,
Sprawled there, out of conscious, for the whole morn' through.

Some time afterwards the sun was overhead,
And upon this man's trail did another man tread,
Who came upon the collapsed man, and saw he was unfed,
So he carried him unto his home and laid him on his bed.

The eve thereupon, the young man did awaken,
Alone, in another's home, he did become unshaken,
Going to the window, he had seen this town's great lake,
And thereupon the man did realise the place that he'd been taken.

Running now, he left the house, looking all around,
And saw this place - that wretched site in which he'd only found,
Great magnitudes of sin - surely love did not abound,
In this once-wicked place, which he had called his home town.


EDRIS:

What are here these deeds which I witness with my eyes?
Were it told to me alone, I'd deem it to be lies.
The people of this place, now engaged in being kind,
Yet their acts alone are still-unchanged; the change is in my mind.

In this moment I feel sorrow; guilt is mine to own,
There is good within all folk, yet to me it was unknown,
But see how I have been enlightened; holding now the flame,
Which illuminates the truth - now this land is not the same!


NARRATOR:

And so the young man settled in the town from which he'd journed,
His perspective had been shattered by the truths which he had learned,
And no longer for some other thing did his heart yearn,
So he rested, happy with his life. The wheels of time did turn,
The young man soon became not young as he lived out his years.
Being unbound by prejudice, heartlessness and fear,
The woes and throes of life did promptly disappear,
And tranquility filled his mind as the end drew near.


SOPHIA:

In all things is a map of the all,
That great oneness to which pious men call.
Know this truth, be captured in its thrall.

NARRATOR:

The old man harkens to his bedside,
He hears commotion outside,
And peers upwards to the night.
His eyes are met with blinding light.
On the streets below, the people gather,
The drunk men come out from the tavern,
Mothers at home doors, shaking and weeping,
Babes in wonder, at windows peeking.

The old man stares upon the sight,
Which to the people now gives fright,
Its eyes are many; its swan wings white,
מֶטָטְרוֹן is here with might.
Raphael beside it glides,
With golden trumpet at its side.
It lifts it up unto far reaches,
And bellows forth horrendous screeches.

As the second great divine power,
Mankind feels itself at this hour.
Though the old man had lived in paradise,
Wicked had been the deeds of mankind.
And so, though one may be saved,
By basking in the light of God's Names,
Most will happily cause pain,
They feel lust, anger and shame.

And so man-מֶטָטְרוֹן is the axe,
Which cleaves its own head for its acts.
And in the sky, its eyes shew ire,
And from its mouth pours Holy fire.


יהוה:

Fire pours and covers all,
It wraps itself over cities tall,
Babes are charred, in their mothers' arms, screaming,
Men lie on the Earth, blistered, writhing and bleeding,
The stone which once did stand up to the sky,
Now breaks to the ground, forever to lie.
The enlightened, too, burn and dissipate,
For their goodness of heart may not overcome fate.


NARRATOR:

And so does humanity close.
Though one's ways may be glorious,
Truth in all minds stays unknown.
