Ekstasis Songtext
von Kataphero

[ENLIGHTENMENT - Episode 3:
The entheogen. Through the use of a root,
A transmutation of consciousness occurs: the "state of tree."
A disruptive access to the mind.
A glimpse into the process of self-creation.
The essence of The Serpent speaks.]

[Adam:]
Serpentine... Fruit orphidian... Gifting... Root-sin
Viperous... Oh, so snakely... Gifting... Truth-bin

Sweet rapture, see who I lie... Me, shelter afar...
Afire-frost, father... Bearer, butcher, mother...


Inverted-eye I fruitify to see...
And self-deserted I choose to be tree
Vampire of land – Brute-seeker, nature-damned

Somebodyness. Memorylessness. Unloneliness. Togetherlessness.

[Adam & Serpent:]
It gains, gains way – The fruitful mind is forging the man
Blooming, all has gone away in pain.

[Adam:]
While I-child... As I-progeny... When I-cub... Since I-man to be
Lone still... though rains gray no more
Befoul still... I pour no rain!

[Adam & Serpent:]
Lone still... though rains gray no more
Befoul still... rain′s broke as
It gains, gains way – The fruitful mind is forging the man
Blooming, all has gone away again and again and again and again...
