Enlighten Me from Gothic Materialism by Hertz Kankarok

ENLIGHTEN ME

Thou bearer of light, sun-souled,
Luminous archetype of everything
As eerie and pure
As all the tragedies we must endure,
The symbol of all that is wrong
On the tongue of those who are always right,
Please give us some of your radiant insight
In gleams of light!

Enlighten me!
Bring me to the brightest of nights.
Enlighten me!
Raise me to the scariest of heights.
Enlighten me!

O Venus in fury, star-hearted,
Thou who shin’st for those who cannot stand
Mediocrity and ignorance,
Let us see with no eyes, hear with no ears,
What image and sound could never portray
For our blackened minds to fathom;
Thou in voluptuous refinement
Bring’st to light the hidden things of darkness!

Enlighten me!
Bring me to the brightest of nights.
Enlighten me!
Raise me to the scariest of heights.
Enlighten me!

Light in darkness.
Embers sparkling, shining.
All dark matter
Finds its way by hiding.

Rays of knowledge
Seeping in through blindness.
Light is darkness
And darkness is our kindness.

O most beautiful among the angels, as this world falls apart
We remain in the light that Thy seed, divine, has planted in silence.
We the sons of the dawn summon Thee, O Morning Star!
Unholy be our blessings.

Enlighten me!
Bring me to the brightest of nights.
Enlighten me!
Raise me to the scariest of heights.
