Sol Invictus

(Verse 1) Before the Demiurge stirs the lower spheres Before the Watchers close their thousand eyes in fear I rise from the black egg of pre-dawn silence A hollow reed between the worlds, attuned to the violence Of light being born from the throat of the Unmanifest Bare soles upon the dew-kissed threshold of the West I lift the sigil of my spine toward the Eastern Gate Where the Hidden Sun prepares to violate the veil of fate (Chorus) I face the Sol Invictus, the Uncreated Flame Let thy rays anoint this vessel, let thy fire erase my name Golden spear of gnosis piercing every subtle body I stand naked in the radiance of the One who is not many Oh, I face the Sun… every morning Dissolve me, transmute me, in thy alchemical dawning (Verse 2) The clay-born world still slumbers in its leaden dream Bound by Archons’ chains and the illusion of the seam But here, upon this liminal axis mundi line I offer up the dross of every former sign Old aeons, broken pacts, and the husks of former selves Rise as incense smoke upon thy radiant shelves I speak the unspoken Name in the language of pure fire As the First Cause reclaims what was never truly “I” (Chorus) I face the Sol Invictus, the Uncreated Flame Let thy rays anoint this vessel, let thy fire erase my name Golden spear of gnosis piercing every subtle body I stand naked in the radiance of the One who is not many Oh, I face the Sun… every morning Dissolve me, transmute me, in thy alchemical dawning (Bridge) Thou art the Black Sun concealed behind the golden mask Send thy lightning through this alchemical soul at last Burn away the seven veils that blind the inner sight Return this scattered spark unto the Primal Light Khepri awakens at the dawn, Ra rules the heights of noon Atum descends into the west — I dissolve and merge with You (Final Chorus) I face the Sol Invictus, the Eternal Living Sun Where all opposites perish and the Many become One I am but phosphor in thy vast celestial pyre A single syllable uttered in the endless choir Yes, I face the Sun… every morning Until the day this form returns to thy holy devouring (Outro) Aum… Ra… Sol Invictus… I return… I dissolve… I become.
