The Illumination

(Traditional structure — melodic nu metal, first moment of harmonic resolution)

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

Not given — remembered

Not taught — uncovered

Not law — recognition

This was always mine

Natural law needs no legislator

Truth needs no interpreter

I am the first and final jurisdiction

Over everything I am

Over everything I am

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

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

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
