Before blood the absence filled
The Undying Silence.
And such was the way.
And above the stars
And the heavens
The Black Essence dwelt
As behind the eye.
Superior.
Dominant.
From darkness to darkness.
The Universal Abyss.
The Astral [bad word] 
May wisdom's spell guide thee.
May knowledge's spell bind thee.
As the Transcendense lies
Within the mazes
And the blood of a dream
And as the ceremonial bells chime,
And the candle turns to dust
The astral gateways unfold.
