The Illumination

(Traditional structure — melodic nu metal, first moment of harmonic resolution)
[Verse 1]
It came not as a commandment carved in stone
Not handed down from any throne I've ever known
It rose from underneath the calcified remains
Of every system built to keep the light contained
[Pre-Chorus]
Not given — remembered
Not taught — uncovered
Not law — recognition
This was always mine
[Chorus]
Natural law needs no legislator
Truth needs no interpreter
I am the first and final jurisdiction
Over everything I am
Over everything I am
[Verse 2]
The Seventh Principle — the mind contains the all
Every wall they built was built inside a smaller wall
Venus in her cycle never asked for your consent
She simply moved — and in that movement everything was meant
[Bridge — building intensity]
No king preceded me
No god demanded tribute before my breath began
The solar seal was burning long before
They learned to counterfeit the sacred in the name of man
[Final Chorus — full resolution]
Natural law needs no legislator
Truth needs no interpreter
I am the first and final jurisdiction
Over everything I am
I always was
I always was
