The descent

(Traditional structure — nu metal aggression entering)

I withdrew my hand from every altar built by men

I walked back through the temple and I won't return again

Jupiter expanded past the borders of their claims

I found my own jurisdiction buried underneath their names

Strip it back

Strip it back

Every layer is a lie they stacked

Strip it back

Strip it back

Until the only thing remaining is the fact

I am descending

Not falling — choosing

Every chain I shed

Was never mine to carry

I am descending

Into something older

Than the first word

Any authority ever spoke

The Emerald law was never handed down by decree

As above — so below — that knowledge belongs to me

No parliament of shadows gets to legislate the soul

I am digging through the doctrine toward something whole

Irreversible now

Irreversible now

The door behind me

Was never a door

It was a mirror

And I walked through
