I the Sun ov man 
The offspring ov the stellar race 
My halo fallen and crushed upon the earth 
That I may bring balance to this world 

I son ov perdition 
From sheer nothingness transgressed 
Unto the highest self, to utmost freedom 
To explore the starry nature ov my rage 

I pulse ov existence 
The law ov nature undenied 
I hold the torch ov Heraclites 
So I can shake the earth and move the suns 

I divine Iconoclast 
Injecting chaos into my veins 
With life accepted 
With pain resurrected 
Is the embrace ov god in man profound 

The joy ov a dawn 
The ecstasy ov dusk 
Nourished have I this karmic flow 
Where great above meets great below 
Let it be written! 
Let it be done! 
Scattered I walk towards the fractured light
