Expostulation

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
