Beneath the Veil - Repentance of Sophia (Visualizer)

Lyrics: Beneath the Veil (The Repentance of Sophia) Dr. Toodles PhD [Intro] O Light of lights... in whom I have had faith from the beginning... hearken now unto my repentance. [Verse 1] In the silence past the thirteenth aeon, in the light that no eye can behold, she conceived a thought out of her longing, without consort, without consent, and the Spirit did not approve. A likeness swelled inside the Wisdom, a sigh with no breath in it at all, and it came from her unshaped and alien, the shadow underneath the veil. [Pre-Chorus] I gazed into the lower parts and saw a light that was not mine... I thought, I will go and take it... I went... [Chorus] Beneath the veil the shadow thickens, the shadow hardens into matter, into flesh, a child born blind with lightning for eyes, an abortion with no spirit in its breast. I cast him out where none could see him, wrapped in cloud, enthroned in shame... Child... pass through to here... (Yal-da-ba-oth) [Verse 2] Lion-faced and coiled as a serpent, half of fire and half of night, he drank the power of his mother and forged himself a sevenfold sky. The Reaper, and the Eye of Envy, and Belias over the depth of Hell; three hundred sixty-five to kneel before him in the dim where neither light nor darkness dwell. [The Boast] I opened my eyes on matter without limit. I saw water. I saw darkness. I saw only myself. I have no need of anyone. I am a jealous god... and there is no other god beside me. You are mistaken, Samael... god of the blind. [Breakdown] Down! Into the chaos below! The lion-faced power devours her light! Every ruler of the aeons gazing downward, rejoicing over her, though she had done them no ill. She sought the light, they gave her darkness. She sought her power, they gave her matter. [Bridge] I cried for help... but my voice has not reached out of the darkness. I waited for my pair to come and fight for me... he came not. I am become a stranger to my brethren. Shame hath covered me. Let not this darkness submerge me... let not this chaos shroud my power... (to and fro... to and fro...) ...ashamed to return. [The Challenge] If any other thing exists before me... let it become visible to me. [Verse 3] And she stretched forth a single finger and let a droplet fall into the deep, a spark of her into the clay of Adam, a breath the blind one blew, and did not know he gave. Now the light lies buried in our marrow, in the tomb, the bond of forgetfulness, and the archons wall the prison of the body and call their poisoned garden rest. [Final Chorus] Beneath the veil the shadow thickens, the shadow hardens into matter, into flesh, but though darkness pursued her, it did not seize her, the light in the clay cannot be grasped. The Light is my deliverer... I shall not fear... [Outro] Arise... and remember... who it is that calls your name... The deficiency plucked out by the root... ...there is no other... ...and it will be as what has never
