Black Manifest (The Sermon to the Masses)
O self my god
Foreign is thy name except
In blasphemy
For i am thy iconoclast
I cast thy bread upon the waters
For i myself am meat enough
Hidden in the labyrinth of the alphabet
Is my sacred name
The sigil of all things unknown
On earth my kingdom is
Eternity of desire
My wish incarnates in the belief
And becomes flesh
For, i am the living truth
Heaven is ecstasy
My consciousness changing
And acquiring association
May i have courage to take from my own superabundance
Let me forget righteousness
Free me of morals
Lead me into temptation of myself
For i am a tottering kingdom
Of good and evil
May worth be acquired
Through those things
I have pleasured
Intoxicate me with self-love
Teach me to sustain its freedom
For i am sufficiently hell
Let me sin against the small beliefs
