Expostulation
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.
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
