Pimander - Portraits

Bind my corporeal senses

The dark shows Pimander

Glowing lumen is nothing

Sinking a fiery breath

Breath

Father of philosophy

Born into a line of magi

Daughter of obscurity descend

Curious of cacophony

Teach us of the mind’s ascent

Now we live how our harmony intends

Stripped of all geometry

Denuded of all imprinting

Mortal nature left behind, condemned

Bring to us our odyssey

Teach us of the soul’s ascent

Now we live how the prophecy intends

Stripped of all ferocity

Denuded of all imprinting

Ready now to join and comprehend

Far from invention

Lost of ascension

And we stave off

And we’re lost when falling down

Far from invention

Father of philosophy

Came to me as Mercurius

Scholar teaching purity repent

Curious of cacophony

Revealing the mind’s ascent

Now we must live how harmony intends

Stripped of all security

Denuded of all imprinting

Mortal nature left behind condemned

Bring to us our odyssey

Teach us of the soul’s ascent

Now we live how the prophecy intends

Stripped of all pathology

Denuded of all imprinting

Ready now transfigure, comprehend

Far from invention

Lost of ascension

And we stave off

And we’re lost when falling down

Far from invention

Devastation sure to follow

Fall

Enemies fill hearts with sorrow

Downfall

Devastation sure to follow

Fall

Burning embers left to burn it

Fall

Can we be safe from this path

Bring us all back to the start

Can we escape this advance

Follow the ancient one’s path

Bring this all back to the start

Will we escape this advance

No

No

Cross

What we have lost

Fight

The path we cross

Cross

What we have lost

Fight

The path we cross

Cross

What we have lost

Fight

The path we cross

Cross

What we have lost

Fight

The path we cross

Bring this all back to the start

Follow the ancient one’s path

Show us the path we have lost

Follow the ancient one’s path!

Will we escape its collapse?

Will we escape?
