I'm closer to the Golden Dawn / Immersed in Crowley's uniform / Of imagery / I'm living in a silent film / Portraying Himmler's sacred realm / Of dream reality / I'm frightened by the total goal / Drawing to the ragged hole / And I ain't got the power anymore / No, I ain't got the power anymore /

I'm the twisted name on Garbo's eyes / Living proof of Churchill's lies, I'm destiny / I'm torn between the light and dark / Where others see their targets, divine symmetry / Should I kiss the viper's fang? / Or herald loud the death of Man / I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought / And I ain't got the power anymore /

Don't believe in yourself, don't deceive with belief / Knowledge comes with death's release / Aah-aah, aah-aah, aah-aah, aah-aah /

I'm not a prophet or a stone-age man / Just a mortal with the potential of a superman / I'm living on / I'm tethered to the logic of Homo Sapien / Can't take my eyes from the great salvation / Of bullshit faith / If I don't explain what you ought to know / You can tell me all about it on the next Bardo / I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought / And I ain't got the power anymore
