The Beast (Invocation)

As the shadows fade
An endless river of horizons in his mind
Carry him back through time
Where his untouched drinks lay,
Where it does little good refusing these drinks

How loathsome, how incredibly loathsome reality is
In earnest faith and humility
Offer up a prayer for "the dead"
Let it come that I may liberate all who see or hear me -
A roaring, savage beast
Something absolutely insane is going on everywhere
I suggest that we both rest this afternoon or sooner
So that you and your children will be happy,
Far beyond the school of gray tombstones and gallows
"Watch your step my lover, my son"
Said in a voice of trembling tongues - an immediate threat
    Could it be that you didn't realize I was still here?
Could it be that you didn't realize that I am still here?

Shadows of our fate still try to answer questions such as these
Close the womb, lock the door
Birth by egg and birth by fire
Attachment and repulsion
Attachment and repulsion
Attachment and repulsion
Birth by egg and birth by fire
Attachment and repulsion
Birth by egg and birth by fire
Obtain a new life on these higher planes!

New life on a higher plane
Birth by egg, birth by fire
Attachment and repulsion
New life on these higher planes!
New life
New life
Birth by egg and birth by fire
A new life on a higher plane

Birth by egg and birth by fire
Close the womb, lock the door

As the shadows fade
Close the womb, lock the door
As the shadows fade
Obtain a new life on these higher planes!

Birth by egg, birth by fire
New Life
Watch your step
