Inspired by the Never-Ending Story movie and The Book of the Law by Aleister Crowley.
How do I come to terms
With reading about myself in an old book
And everything else that comes with it?
Nobody knows a damn thing
And no human can give a worthwhile advice
But an ancient one pointed me to this place
The sphinxes’ gate sees straight into my heart
Is it always others testing my worth
Or is it always myself doubting it
I thought I am worthy of this much
But what if I am worthy of much more
And no armour can ever hide this doubt
The next place is the mists of whiteout
The mirror gate makes me look deep inside
Where kind people find that they are cruel
And brave men discover they really are cowards
Most of us run away screaming from our true selves
Then comes the glowing light higher than eye sight
Which contains the wisdom clear and bright
And I learn that only a human child from beyond
Must give me a new name to save this world
We don’t know how long we Will last
For Nothingness we’re breaking apart
And that brings me to us and the world
For people without hope are easily controlled
How do I come to face
Images of the past and of the deeds to be done
And all uneasy choices that come with it?
My Mother, she had such a wonderful name
Bastien or Atreyu, Bastien or Atreyu
Lenia, Omnia, or None
I’m releasing all doubt
And I’m calling it out
I’ve released all my doubt
And I’ve called Babalon’s name out
