Qaiser Ali Khan - The Lesson lyrics

We on the surface of earth make demigods in the name of love divinity or creed, they are false, fake. They lure us with their fake limited power, be it the power of their beauty, fake pretended airs of divinity or false creeds, we are led astray by them (represented here by Splendor/It. Blindly we worship them in the name of love...earthly love is fake as compared to the spiritual love of God. We blindly worship them for their a**umed divinity and false creeds, without realizing what the Almighty has decreed. These demigods and their worshipers, no matter how many they are, are unnoticeable, not even a puff of smoke when compared to the creation of Allah Almighty. The Lesson The moon had disappeared far in the desert debarring its rays through heaths and dales all living things turned specters and in lists marched to the shrine of Divine Love in a frenzied state. A luminous soul took flight and glided over clouds wrapped all in white. sped with tremendous pace like a foamy tide that rise in the midst of a stormy ocean, takes on the howling winds, hissing and swirling like a hurricane falls and breaks at the feet of top most crags, it prostrate falls on that Holy place. A multitude of beasts and men, like a rolling wave across the glen swept everything and roaring tumbling all that came in their way, they carried away and gathered around that mystic Fane where Splendor resided in all its awe and Divine claim, Wild with ecstasy around Its throne moved those freaks They rose and fell, sighed and yelled, cried and shrieked Such sight made hearts sank with dread and whilst It alighted from Its fane and walked among the creatures of night With every step rose dust off the turf making the atmosphere More horrible in nature than Shelob's evil gossamer. Perchance the moon peeped through the cleft in clouds A host of winged angels in heavenly glory descended With heavenly light they lit the darkened sphere of sky And I beheld that devilish fiend's dead countenance Bereft of God's grace, doomed for eternity in dungeons of hell It roared with fury and let Its anger loose upon its creatures That have made circles around It and vowed abreast In evil designs to meet the heavenly foes in earnest. I witnessed an amazing thing, soon as they bent on doing harm To those angels who were sent to win the war A beam of light that dazzled my sight, with searing force Pierced the hollowed specters, silhouettes and shadows It burned, contorted, consumed and with a puff dispersed On the cold night's heavy air, like the light feathers of Some miserable foul we let afloat on the airy surge After a fortnight's long awaited search for prey. Such is the fate of humans and Evil who worship demigods In the name of love, divinity and creed. 'Tis your lesson And hence off you go, for sun is approaching and to sleep I go.
