Imperial Vengeance

The Voice Of Thelema
These green stained lips that proclaim Law announce another wonder To an incidental audience that gather at the bar. Another dose of poison poured, another emerald death A sinister perversion:I am not as other men. I foreswear the dreadful dactyl and substitute 'that is' Assuming now this inner-self, I swiftly change the mask. The eloquence of angels with the honeyed tongue of sin Doth drive these passions to the fore - the force that lies within. Myriad martyrdoms playing against backdrops of carnality A stage-managed lifestyle in the Theatre of Absurd Parading to a vacant gilded gallery.
The voice that once invoked dark goddesses now resounds unheard. The priapistic plagiarist who writes upon ruled lines And quails as fragile empires burn, he signs a deal with Peace. Vile rumour flies around the rotten carcass of golden glory days Impotent as interest fades and sales of Gospels cease. Silence the tongue of the Father, I will endure to the end.
Driven into exile, and now the beggar at the feast White stains upon the parchment pure, proclaim myself 'The Beast' The crystals spread before me as I read the self-penned prayer Vengeance only breathes thy name, the watchword of Despair.

I am the One, I am the oracle - I am the wisdom, I am the light Love under Will, shall be the only way Join me now in Thelema, The Garden of Delight.
'But be aware, that every joy has a price Give unto me, mind and body, through black oaths uttered thrice.'
Knew not I the fatal lure of her angelic voice A ghostly echo in my ears as if from heaven sent To whisper in the heat of day, of bluest skies and rolling sands And not the grime of London, grey beneath the firmament. In half-lit smoky chambers I ingest her icy balm. Nocturne's baleful revelry, now witness to her avatar: But it was not to be, and now I cast the fatal dice The frost-fire pulses in my veins, sweet ecstasies like ice. This horror of great darkness. I am come to attain the light. To gain my voice I make as dumb, and close the outer sight: Oh, Thelema, I feel the Spring, the all-devouring Dawn.
