As if the Adlerian guiltless position in the constellation wasn't enough
    toppling you from a pedestal

Gaia in white flame burns
Yaldabaoth himself spurns
A second cycle turns
The Golden Age returns
The first-begotten son

Of Christ’s birth long foreseen
In this iron machine
Hearts of iron will...

Sun, moon, stars, and universe are captivations,

Like a child, at each lovely scene, I do wonder,
Today, to a certain concept, I surrender..!

Because they belong in the wild
Forked tongue smile like...

a King within his lands.
With hooded head and armoured scales
