The Philosopher’s Stone of stumbling
Evokes enthralling quests
Through deserts of delirium
And faceless whirlpools of demise.
Visiting the interior of the Earth and rectifying
You will find the secret stone,
Shedding the burden of Life as snakes their skin.
The holder of it kindles the Flame of Old,
Born to take over the world,
For pitiable are the snakes devoid of venom.
Leprous is the One falling into the gulf of obedience,
Blessed, the audacious.
The shades of cruelty manifest.
The Flame of the Foundation is kindled.
Do what thou wilt – Death awaits ahead,
All paths are free – go forth!
Rise from the ashes, leave the depths,
Break down the illusion chaining the world.
Gaze in the sky revolting,
Seized by fury and obscuration.
Shiver from forgotten songs
Of nymphs of eternal Emptiness.
