Once Upon a Pale Horse
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'll ascend
As the Sun into the night
I'll appear
On a pale horse alight
Skyward, I climb alone
Yet bound forever to this earth
Quench my unholy thirst
To will is to dissent
I'll ascend
As the Sun into the night
I'll appear
On a pale horse alight
Go forth and conquer
In thy own name, for thy own flesh
Forsake shame, forsake guilt
Do what thou wilt
Onwards, driven by doubt
Carving my beastly ways
Never will I submit
To will is to disobey
Hail empower thyself
Strive forever to more
Make heel the universe
So the last will be the first
Onwards, driven yet calm
Carving malevolent ways
Never will I submit
To will is to disobey
Go forth and conquer
Forsake shame
Forsake thy fucking guilt
For love is the law
Love under will
