Invictus Songtext

von Noctem

"I felt victorious today, I felt undefeated. Among hazy memories, embraced to the dimension of the dream, I lived an extracorporeal trip which introduced me to thousands of millions of lives. This eternal journey took me along the lines of space and time, which my mind uninhibited performed in a few minutes. There was only one being that I felt and could not find on my journey just like Friedrich Nietzsche said "God is dead or perhaps never existed"*
On the loins of the fever's deliriums
I crossed the hells of opium.
Without my eyes I can see beyond all the stars.
I'm the writer of the Emerald Table,
Pythia at the Delphic Oracle,
I'm a Babylon whore.
I see the ancient races, the immigrants of Atlantis and Lemuria, the billions of lives that have preceded me.
I'm an Isis priest, a slave in Egypt,
Tarpeya crushed, pupil of Socrates;
I parade with the imperial legions,
The Aeneas descendant.
I take a billion forms, I know all the lives,
I feel the entire universe's knowledge,
But where does the divine grace hide?
Where are the wasted prayers thrown into despair?
I exist in all beings and all beings exist in me,
I feel myself in communion with the earth,
But god isn't in me.
