THELEMA

The word sends
forth a blaze divine,
dispersing the dark
clouds of the mind.

Clear blue skies,
no winter storms.
The feathers glide
and truth is inborn.

Beyond the illusion
awaits the sign.
Mask no more with
imagery designs.

Mysteries flow,
tomorrow they go.
Love under Will,
and Will to Know.

Word of the Law,
Word in the Air,
sweet Thelema,
beloved and fair.

Kisses of Stars
dissolute the soul,
uniting every man
and woman below.

CHORUS
Love is the Law,
Love under Will.

All acts determine
moment from moment,
conforming experiences
with your True Will.

Uniting with all in
your chosen Way,
dissolving your self
in this interplay.

Every man and every
woman is a star.

Pursue your course,
O children of Heru-Ra-Ha!

CHORUS
Love is the Law,
Love under Will.

CHORUS
Love is the Law,
Love under Will.

Sweet Thelema,
Word of the Law,
Word in the Air.

Sweet Thelema,
Love under Will,
beloved and fair.
Do what thou wilt:
This word I declare.

O Thelema.

PERDURABO

Seeking the Voice of Vision,
Looking for Words of Wisdom,
A messenger appeared to guide
his Soul to the Altar of the Temple.

Purified by Sacred Water,
And consecrated by the Fire,
He entered the Temple to find the
Light in the Darkness of the Night.

CHORUS
Robed in black and bound,
Blindfolded and spellbound,
Aleister Crowley to an Oath was
sworn and Perdurabo was born.

He passed the first ordeal
And discovered his own Will:
To endure to the end of it all
the Great Work of his soul.

Invoking his Guardian Angel,
A Great Eye in the Triangle.
In rituals of Magick he enflamed
his mind with thoughts divine.

CHORUS
Robed in black and bound,
Blindfolded and spellbound,
Aleister Crowley to an Oath was
sworn and Perdurabo was born.

An Adept of Magick he became,
A worker of Spells without shame,
Commanding earth, air, water and
fire by the Spirit to conspire.

He passed the final test
And his soul was put to rest:
Aleister Crowley was no more
but Perdurabo forevermore.

CHORUS
Robed in black and bound,
Blindfolded and spellbound,
Aleister Crowley to an Oath was
sworn and Perdurabo was born.

ILLUMINATION

The time is now,
the veil is rent,
the Sun is risen
with dark intent.

No one can see,
no one can know,
what man will be
and undergo.

Now it has come,
the end of a time,
and the birth of a
new age for mankind.

Now it has come,
the end of days:
dissolution is here
to mend our ways.

Illumination now
without restraint,
consuming the soul
of sinner and saint.

A new life for all
beyond ego and mind:
no illusion of self
to impede mankind.

Now it has come,
the end of a time,
and the birth of a
new age for mankind.

Now it has come,
the end of days:
dissolution is here
to mend our ways.

The time is now,
the veil is rent,
the Sun is risen
with dark intent.

A new life for all
beyond ego and mind:
no illusion of self
to impede mankind.

Freedom for both
woman and man:
we will all be one
in the Spirit of Pan.

Universal Life
and peace profound:
living in tune with
the Soundless Sound.

THE INVOCATION

O Thou Hawk-Headed Mystical Lord,
Thou whose Word is the Great Reward!
Only-begotten Child who I acclaim,
From mighty Isis and Osiris slain!
Thou Avenger of the unspeakable Horror:
Slayer of Typhon, thee whom I adore!
Thou who lifted your holy Head
And the nile Crocodile was defeated!
Thou who conceals with the Night
This immense Universe of Starry-light!
Thou who abides at the glorious Helm
Of the Boat of Ra, in the infinite Realm!

Crowned Child and Conquering Lord!
Horus, Avenger!

By thy name of Ra, thou Hawk of the Sun,
Thee I invoke, thou most glorious One!
By thy name Harmachis, Youth of Sunrise,
Thee I invoke to appear and to arise!
By thy name of Mau, thou Lion of Power,
Thee I invoke of the hot Mid-day Hour!
By thy name of Tum, thou Hawk of Even,
Thee I invoke of the Sunset Crimson!

Mine is the Head of the Man of this Rite,
As keen and subtle as the Hawk's is my Sight!

Of the Sun and Moon, of both Night and Day!
For mine is the Sign that is given of none,
Save it be of thee, O thou Hawk-Headed Son!
By the Sign I invoke thee, O thou mighty One!
And mine is the Triumphant Sign of Apophis,
The destroyer and mighty Lord of Darkness!
It is I who bears the Word of Double Power,
And the Song of Old which I sing this hour!

And the nile Crocodile was annihilated!
It is I who shrouds the Night-Blue Sky
With my vast Nemyss as I soar and fly!
It is I who abides at the glorious Helm
Of the Boat of Ra, in the infinite Realm!

The Dark One is here,
A burning Lust within,
Destroying your restrictions
And illusions of sin.

Embrace his dark Love,
A sweet and bitter Kiss,
Beyond your little life,
A black flame of bliss.

The Dark One is come,
Not to betray,
But to free your Soul
And show you the Way.

His message is Freedom,
To do your Will,
That you may rejoice
And yourself fulfill.

The Dark One says:
We are all the Christ.
This is the true meaning
Of the Antichrist.

Antichrist is come,
Antichrist is here.
Do what you Will,
With Love and no fear.

I am Antichrist,
You are Antichrist,
We are all the Antichrist.

The Dark One is All,
The Many and the One,
A Universal Being
And a man in the Sun.

A Monster to many,
To others an Angel,
Rising from earth,
He's the Son of the Devil.

The Dark One says:
We are all the Christ.
This is the true meaning
Of the Antichrist.

Antichrist is come,
Antichrist is here.
Do what you Will,
With Love and no fear.

I am Antichrist,
You are Antichrist,
We are all the Antichrist.

The Dark One is here,
A Spirit within all,
Lord of the World
And the Great Oversoul.

A Star from Beyond
With an All-Seeing Eye,
Looking from Earth,
Fire, Water and Sky.

His Eye is ablaze
With a great black Flame.
In a Triangle of Light
Is the Seal of His Name.

The Dark One says:
We are all the Christ.
This is the true meaning
Of the Antichrist.

Antichrist is come,
Antichrist is here.
Do what you Will,
With Love and no fear.

I am Antichrist,
You are Antichrist,
We are all the Antichrist.

Antichrist is come,
Antichrist is here.
Do what you Will,
With Love and no fear.

Antichrist is come,
Antichrist is here.
Do what you Will,
With Love and no fear.

I am Antichrist,
You are Antichrist,
We are all the Antichrist.

BLACK DAWN

Listening to the sounds of the rising dark Sun,
The sky is obscured by the blinding Black Dawn.
The sea bursts forth with great roars of pain,
The heart is overcome with infinite disdain.
O what is this mystery, this unknown ordeal,
Is it something to make or break the Will?
Times come crashing, merging into one,
A blinding light, the Black Dawn is come, the
Black Dawn is come, the Black Dawn is come.

Awakening to the flames of the rising dark Sun,
The sky is illumined by the lovely Black Dawn.
The sea comes ashore with mirth from the Abyss,
The mind is overcome with rapture and bliss.
O what is this mystery, this unknown ecstasy,
A pearl of great price from the bottomless sea?
Times come crashing, merging into one,
A blinding light, the Black Dawn is come, the
Black Dawn is come, the Black Dawn is come.

Listening to the sounds of the rising dark Sun,
The sky is obscured by the blinding Black Dawn.
The sea bursts forth with great roars of pain,
The heart is overcome with infinite disdain.
O what is this mystery, this unknown ordeal,
Is it something to make or break the Will?
Times come crashing, merging into one,
A blinding light, the Black Dawn is come, the
Black Dawn is come, the Black Dawn is come.

UNDER THE SUN

When you look inside yourself,
what is it you see,
a self, a shadow
or a timeless mystery?

Do you feel empty inside
as if you have nowhere to hide,
alone in a place cold and dry
like the night desert and sky?

But listen, I tell you,
you are not alone on earth:
Everyone feels something
that makes them one at birth.

You are a center of the
Universe of Stars:
A sun in the midst
of Venus, Jupiter and Mars.

CHORUS
We are all alone under the Sun.
Lonely is the soul that is one.
We are all alone under the Sun.
Love is the flower of knowing
in another this phenomenon.

When you look inside your mind,
what is it you feel,
a passing thought, an idea,
or something that is more real?

Do you think thoughts unkind
or thoughts of love and peace?
Or do you know that place
where all thought is released?

Whatever it is you think,
you are beyond its sway.
Your Will is beyond all thought,
it makes its own choice and Way.

You are a center of the
Universe of Stars:
A sun in the midst
of Venus, Jupiter and Mars.

CHORUS
We are all alone under the Sun.
Lonely is the soul that is one.
We are all alone under the Sun.
Love is the flower of knowing
in another this phenomenon.
