The Mystery of The Grail

from Cattle Die, Kinsmen Die by Bill Boethius & Dali's Car

/

lyrics

This mystery is revealed only to a few in the initiation of the Grail,
that stone which fell from the Ray of Green Light, that cup of eternal life.

Woe betide the one who, having received the gift of eternity in the cup of death ...
The Way of Return is a hard one. Here is the song of the wayfarer:
O Lucifer.
There never was a passage,
And no one. since
Earliest times,
Has ever discovered it,
Neither by sea nor by land,
This slender thread of crystalline water,
Wind and green light,
This sighing of his breast.
The way is agonising,
Deep are the waters
Of death!
Where, O Lucifer,
Shall we cross this immense sea?
With Luci-Bel we have lit this fire which never goes out and which leads us to a superhuman, irreversible destiny.
Only with the memory of his beloved in his heart can the initiate achieve the Grail.
In the warriors of the order, immortality passes from the species to the individual, accompanied by an incurable sterility. Because he who continues to procreate children of perishable flesh cannot resurrect.
Drive your sword into the mirror beside the fire, so that as it is reflected in it 'everything looks as if it is in an upside-down sky', like an arm holding it, rising out of the waters.
And passing your sword over the fire, sing:
O Sun of Gold that reflects the Black Sun!
O Black Sun that hides the Ray of Green Light!
Withdraw your luminous shadow,
Rend your veils, so that
I may see the hidden face,
Veiled by your disc,
By the revolving of your svastika,
Because the one who is hidden there
Is I myself.

Let forgetfulness never again fall upon us,
let what we lived through in the Eternal Return
not find us again without memory, without recollection,
let us engrave it forever
Continue your search for the city,
enter it.
She, too, is searching for it
Draw your sword, unsheathe it, the moment has arrived.
[words from Nos]
