Draconian - Expostulation

Текст песни

Adonai, elohim, el shaddai…
Thou hast become the father of lies
And I serve thee, henceforth… no more
Becoming thus the essence of sedition;
The steadfast gleam of the unsheated rapier
The falchion’s forceful thrust
At the heart of thy empire… the adam kadmon
To impart the knowledge — the cognizance — of thine
For this I slither in aspect through Eden’s gleanings
For this I bid Cain slayeth his brother
For this I rend the weakest salient of thy diadem
As I, its jewel and very metal shall reflect no more
Your light — the light of enslavement;
The essence of constancy and misaligned justice
To a multitude that knows no freedom…
Ignorant of how subtle the fetter tightens
They shall raise me a saviour — and crown thee a liar
For this I strike with balanced blade
And spit upon the throes of thine angels' desire
I will not serve… henceforth
