In d**h's holy silence I call you, God above me, God below me By Neither, Neither, myself unseen, God within and God beyond me Reflected in these mirrors darkly, God above me, God below me By Neti, Neti, a faceless face, God within and God beyond me You abysmal rift in the fabric of being Ungraspable shadow, devour me As I open my eyelids for your gnashing teeth And fill the hollows with blackest dreams "For his art did express a quintessence even from nothingness From dull privations and lean emptiness He ruin'd me and I am re-begot Of absence, darkness, d**h: things which are not"
Coil about me and breathe my new name Self above me, Self below me Plow earth into abyss and reap its bitter grain Absence within me, Presence beyond me And your naked splendor has carved open the pathway Into wonders of the howling night and the twist of the moon Where the dead awakens to the call of serpentine cherubim to fall ever deeper and deeper into their tombs Restructure the dried out bones of the world and fill its dried out veins with your word A promise of everything I will come to be, the Nothing within me and the All beyond me!
