Seven realms where every spark of light succumbs in darkness
Ten spheres of chaos materialized through adverse Sephiroth
Influences of harmful evil spreading disorder and imbalance
Negative reflexes of man polluting the embodiment of god
From Ferah to Karih the sentinels await
Guarding with malefic desire the secret palaces gates
Seekers of wisdom descending through Qliphoth connections
To cross the chasm of Daath and bath in the realm of Nuh
A mystic journey towards the tunnels of degeneration
For each human vice, strengthened are the princes of Hell
Reverse spirits emerging from the Waters of Creation
To take their place in the kingdom of the impure shells
From Sheol to Gehinnon the archdemons lurk
Commanding terrifying legions concealed in the murk
Seekers of wisdom descending through Qliphoth connections
Across the levels to trespass the tenth path, Yamatu!
Remember the Fool!
The Major Arcana!
22!
(… and so, at last, we’re blessed by the ebullient splendor of complete death!)
Extinguished Sparks of Holiness
Breaking forever the Chain of Being
All the beauty is gone as Tiphareth withers
Spotted with sin by the poison of Belphegor
Shattered into self-nullification
Sitra Achra!
Crumbling are now all three Pillars of Balance
Sinking in dismay as I reach the lower circles
No joy, no light, no relieved breath
For those who trail the Tree of Death!
