Aleister Crowley - Equivalency lyrics

[Verse 1] The book of the dead is found last My first smile since that fateful blast As I walk this left hand path I see horns I've seen in the past This beast holds the book in his grasp He gives a look that shines like a flash One wrong move and I'll feel his wrath He says “Why do you take this chance?" “I want d**h inside my head Once they died I tried instead Again and again, again and again No matter what I do I live in the end You see my pain don't pretend I want to come meet my end I have no more fight my friend Take these rules and make them bend” He says "You come here on the brink You and your race are about extinct Walk in here treating me like a shrink Didn't you even stop to think? Why would I even help you or your kind? Back in the day you had no time You blamed me for the hate and the lies Now you think that we'd be fine?” "I beg of you to hear my plight Do your best to make this right I'd do anything to take my life Let's strike a deal before tonight" “This is something I will grant But you know if I shall cast I need a soul to make this last And restore this all from the past” How could I object with nothing left to lose? This and this alone is the only thing I choose He might start the fire but I had lit the fuse Escaping this world is all that's in my view I look across the room and the man he looks amused I'm the only one that is left for him to use I don't feel abused, my dream is coming true How would you react if this was happening to you? I nod my head and step on the altar From these plans I never would falter Steady mind, Rock of Gibraltar As he covers me in a crimson water Breath draws slow, I begin to pant He burns clay in a long aged lamp Sigils mark the ground like a stamp He slices my hand, it feels damp Around his knife my hand slowly clasps The blood flows out down the altar's ramp My eyes roll back in the aftermath I lose myself as I hear him chant [Interlude by The Wickedest One] [Bridge] Just like that he's gone Necronomicon I'm alone, absolved Of immortal bonds I can now move on To the great beyond At my own resolve I will face this god [Outro] Voices call from the front of the cave They run approaching me at the stage They look at me with with terror and shame When they speak up they exclaim We saw you and your devilish friend Come with us, don't pretend Magic brought us to this end And before us you shall descend
