1. AS ABOVE, SO BELOW

Power through adaptation,
Draws me to your perfection,
Unique soul, no other resemblance
But the one that makes me dance

The ultimate guide to my reflection,
Like my deepest inspection,
Like an arrow shot so far,
At the end of my precious path

As above, so below,
As within, so without,
As the universe, so the soul

In the middle lane,
I accelerate, then stretch,
In receptive inaction,
I receive your divine unction

My strength is the fruit of weakness,
My weakness is the seed of strength,
"Why ?", to the very depths of my fate,
Then the necessary movement takes shape

As above, so below,
As within, so without,
As the universe, so the soul

Receive my trusting devotion,
You are the mother, the daughter, the sister,
She who worked all weapons,
Tears long since blessed,
Like a waterfall on her soul
She is one of my dead,
She who wept all the woe

As above, so below,
As within, so without,
As the universe, so the soul


2. THAT WHICH STAGNATES IS A LIAR

Through the crackling light
I realize my vibrant immersion,
From my shell to my sight
I release its powerful action

The card sprang from the deck,
The better to meet me
Like a worthy old friend,
Like a gust of a new spring

Who scratches at the surface,
And weeps blessed tears,
Touches the hidden depths
Crosses the highest peaks !
Beware of the dark
That looks into your eyes,
Walk through the fire !
That which stagnates is a liar !

It glides through my soul
From droplets to streams,
It sparkles on my vessels,
Dazzling is my dream

Like a blur on troubled water
Or the mirror of a still lake,
Here comes the moonmaker,
Her hand is crossing the gate

Who scratches at the surface,
And weeps blessed tears,
Touches the hidden depths
Crosses the highest peaks !
Beware of the dark
That looks into your eyes,
Walk through the fire !
That which stagnates is a liar !

To the rhythm of a life that must move,
To the truth of a heart that must feel,
Life is enough for those who know how to pour,
Life is enough for those who know how to fill


3. THE LAND OF THE STARS

From the planets to the earth,
From the core to the universe,
Energy is everywhere
Of magic you're the heir

Make your own justice
Influence the scales
Without any malice
Perceive beyond the veil

Become god of your tower,
For your greater glory,
You are the burning fire
Magic to victory
Like ascending thunder
You will crack the sky
To Walk further and further
Beyond the land of the star

Let your vision be clear,
Like the eyes of the Eagle
The first death you must not fear,
May success be royal

Transfer to lightning,
Your ardent desires,
Induce fare reality,
Beware the blind shelter

Hail to Hugin,
Hail to Mugin,
Seize your weapon
Pierce the dragon

Become god of your tower,
For your greater glory,
You are the burning fire
Magic to victory
Like ascending thunder
You will crack the sky
To Walk further and further
Beyond the land of the star


4. BOUND TO ETERNITY

The quintessence embalms forever,
For the rose that bloomed on earth,
Solve et Coagula operates,
It's the dusk of the Dead Head !
The subtle is detached from the vulgar,
Mercury and Sulfur remain,
The body is ready for dissection,
Calcination takes place

One burns the petals,
The other the bones,
They are bound by an oath

They are the Red King and the White Queen together, allying
Glorious in a perfect wedding,
Order substance and sublimate spirit, balancing
Nature, and its generous gift of a being,
Like a drop of infinite power
Life, character and body
Bound to eternity

Salt shimmers with a thousand crystals,
Water reveals the envelope,
It communes with spirit and quicksilver,
It ends like a scarlet birth !
It heals all cracks, resurrects the Universe
For the glory of mankind
The Opus Magnum comes to fruition,
Nourished by the celestial fire

The golden egg
Is in gestation stage,
For an embodied marriage

They are the Red King and the White Queen together, allying
Glorious in a perfect wedding,
Order substance and sublimate spirit, balancing
Nature, and its generous gift of a being,
Like a drop of infinite power
Life, character and body
Bound to eternity


5. LET THE FANGS BITE

There is a place,
Deep in the chest,
Isolated from the rest
Unlike any other nest

There is a flame
Unique in its essence,
Full of loneliness
Encircled by darkness

Let your fangs bite in the night,
Your furious thirst for life !
Let them tear enemy flesh to pieces,
Who wants to cross the wolf's territory

Let the crows paint the twilight
With their bloodthirsty desires,
Let the lint that pollutes things
Fall from the highest cliff !

At this stage,
No point of reference,
No reassuring laws,
There's only one freedom

There is only this sentence,
This ultimate adage;
I'm doing it for me,
Now and eternally !

Let your fangs bite in the night,
Your furious thirst for life !
Let them tear enemy flesh to pieces,
Who wants to cross the wolf's territory

Let the crows paint the twilight
With their bloodthirsty desires,
Let the lint that pollutes things
Fall from the highest cliff !

Are you ready to take the blow ?
To create your ideal ?
Are you ready to be selfish ?
To overcome the animal?

Are you ready for the lead role ?
To give shape to what you feel ?
Are you ready to clench your fist ?
To overcome the spirit that is your own ?


6. THE GARDEN IN THE HEART

Once Upon a time,
There was a king without a queen ...
His crooked fingers ripped all the hearts
So he dreamed for a strong one

And his dreams carry him
To the soul of a moon girl
Cause night is a feast
And the feast now unfurls

The graves are dark for little people
But the king adores them
And beneath his mantle
A child’s heart is hiding

And upon these graves,
Was born a garden
Deep in this land,
He comes to caress his dreams

And what a joy to see
That the heart does not bleed
Under his innocent claw
Under his pale hand

And he and the girl from the moon
They wander towards heaven
They nurture the garden
To reach the full bloom

The people have a bitter glance
See how they cry for vengeance!
Cause they don’t understand the lily flower
The people take torches and pitchforks
The people are afraid because they hear the abyss ...

So much light creates shadows to hide
Unclean hands knocking on the gates of the castle
Where the king crowned the girl as his queen
And they watch the rain from their garden in the sky

The garden in the heart ...

The rain that falls on these hateful eyes
The people from down there, people, rats
And their groans of beasts
Suffocate before the blood flowers
Bringing down a divine hope

And then they pray,
They pray that never burns their garden
They pray that never burns their garden


7. AND NATURE UNFOLDS ONCE AGAIN

The Fools climbs the ladder,
Leaning against the laurels
Of the woman and her 4 colors,
The stick, the coin, the cup and the sword

I cannot betray my calling,
To my hermetic veil I cling,
Working too much with the devil,
It will crush the vulnerable

The eagle flies over the grey mists,
The sky shines, silent radiance,
The walled garden of power is built
Solitude is dressed with a thousand plants
And nature unfolds once again

By the breath of the great work,
I take the path of the tarot,
Each step embodies an illustration,
That carries me and lightens my burden

I reign as a warrior over my lands,
As number 6 of the revealed Honours,
I forge with my twin tower
A brighter life beyond the end

The eagle flies over the grey mists,
The sky shines, silent radiance,
The walled garden of power is built
Solitude is dressed with a thousand plants
And nature unfolds once again

The broken herd dies,
With a thousand narcotic eyes,
I contemplate the rain,
And my thoughts are starting again
I'd forgotten its silver filaments

The eagle flies over the grey mists,
The sky shines, silent radiance,
The walled garden of power is built
Solitude is dressed with a thousand plants
And nature unfolds once again


8. ALL LIFE BEGINS IN THE DARK

All life begins in the dark,
Raw skin and blind eyes,
Pierced in all sides by waves,
Fists clenched beneath the cape

I screamed at the top of my lungs,
I spat out my first slag,
The light burned my world,
In the folds of a lost past

Between the stars are the marks,
Free are the facts I create,
From my clay I shape the lines,
To sharpen my own lance
I'm the diamond that is born,
And the master must give form,
To a substance chained by time,
Which must perfect its chime
As all life begins in the dark

Narrow molds infest
Towers and their owners
This misery must be repaired
By their laws, heart is broken

The wheel of fortune turned
I tumbled, my back to the unknown,
In other words I found wisdom,
My hands in truth burned

To the quest I devote my fight,
I savor the earthly bite,
I let the clock tame me,
At last I can breathe

Between the stars are the marks,
Free are the facts I create,
From my clay I shape the lines,
To sharpen my own lance
I'm the diamond that is born,
And the master must give form,
To a substance chained by time,
Which must perfect its chime
As all life begins in the dark

As all life begins in the dark
