Walk the tightrope across the void Your mind is lost your skin is sold You feel the wind from a thousand souls Deep within and deep below
And only in solitude Can you ever hope to claim the queen
Crossing the Abyss!
And you press on, on the knife-edge path Your bliss is gone, but so's your wrath You'll lose your gods, You'll lose your flesh As you pass on into nothingness
And only with an empty heart Can you ever hope to tame the queen
Crossing the Abyss!
Master of the Temple!
I, Abraxas, a member of the body of the Divine, hereby bind myself on behalf of the Whole Universe, even as we are now physically bound unto the cross of suffering That I will lead a pure life, as a devoted servant of the Order That I will understand all things That I will love all things That I will perform all things and endure all things That I will continue in the Knowledge and Conversation of my Holy Guardian Angel That I will work without attachment That I will work in truth That I will rely only upon myself That I will interpret every phenomenon as a particular dealing of the Divine with my Soul And if I fail herein, may my pyramid be profaned, and the Eye closed to me
