Pa**ionate onanists standing under the crucifix The heavens are pouring tears for the nailed one A wall of flesh is build with human bricks When the demiurge reigns supreme the true god is done The false prophets of the Old Testament vomiting a thousand lies Man-made rules tied together with the savior's blood But the ones within the truth are opening their eyes Fearlessly encountering the god behind the god Sacred names printed with gold on black parchments Truth decoded from meaningless paraphrases Underground sects performing pure sacraments Summoning the hermaphrodite god of multiple faces The children of Bethlehem are buried under the mourner's bench But their souls dance high above in the heavenly hall Transcendental flowers cover the profane stench At the feet of the Pharisees the earth-bound maggots crawl "Now when the heavens had consolidated themselves Along with their forces and all their administration The prime parent became insolent And he was honored by all the army of angels And all the gods and their angels Gave blessing and honor to him And for his part, he was delighted And continually boasted, saying to them "I have no need of anyone" He said "It is I who am God And there is no other one that exists apart from me I will go before thee and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of bra** And cut in sunder the bars of iron And I will give thee the treasures of darkness And hidden riches of secret places That thou mayest know that I, the Lord Which call thee by thy name Am the God of Israel I am the Lord, and there is none else There is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me That they may know from the rising of the sun And from the west, that there is none beside me I am the Lord, and there is none else I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things I the Lord thy God am a jealous God Visiting the iniquity of the fathers Upon the children unto the third And fourth generation of them that hate me" And when he said this, he sinned Against all the immortal beings who give answer And they laid it to his charge Then when Pistis saw the impiety of the chief ruler She was filled with anger She was invisible She said, "You are mistaken, Samael" (That is, "blind god") "There is an immortal man of light Who has been in existence before you And who will appear among your modeled forms He will trample you to scorn Just as potter's clay is pounded And you will descend to your mother The abyss, along with those that belong to you For at the consummation of your works The entire defect that has become visible Out of the truth will be abolished And it will cease to be And will be like what has never been" The god behind the god
