Ego - Temptation 1 - Abigor

Filled with humbleness and tempted by pride I kneel before you

I did not command but accept the fires you send

For not my hands receive and give, but through yours I deliver

Incomplete yet not unjust, and with you I shall burn

Veni sancte spiritos

Come and fill my vessel!

Grant me the right to speak

Clothe me with the fabric of perception

Here I am, bare and bleeding, facing your vast magnificence

Veni sancte spiritos

Come and fill my vessel!

Am I worthy, is my dignity enow

Cathechise your 7th disciple

Your Spears shall pierce my nescience

Who is higher than me, who else has your authority

Is my arrogance the sole ordeal in front of you?

Do these rites legitimate me to evangelise

Will you guide me through the entrails of the Earth

And accept my sacrifice

In the dirt, in orans posture

Presenting the litany

What more is there to offer than myself

My deeds and thoughts, my anguish and joice

Indulging in the shadow of your splendour

Building Cathedrals not of stones but words and tones

Bind not these hands of yours, but anoint them with strength

Fill this ardent vessel with your fiery revelation
