Analysis of Temple of the Sun
One entrance and exit
Steps torn from moles of the finest elements
Will is the sacrament
If blood must be shed
it will only be my own
Self-sacrificed in the Temple of Sol
Ascend through the pyramid
Amidst the censor spitting incense
Swirling up through the systems
A mist of acension
Quietly leaving the thoughts and bother of man
Return to the angel of beauty again
that I might rest my head on her breast
and repent…
tell truth of my will
and accept the judgement.
