Priest of Thebes

pot_0b3106fae9_b

This is a three way dialog between a goddess, a celestrial messenger, and a reluctant prophet. It was originally going to be called “Reluctant Prophet”, but I was concerned that the lyrics “Priest of Thebes” might be mistaken for “Priest of Thieves”, so I changed it. Anyone who has studied Aleister Crowley will recognize the scenario. Priest of Thebes is part of the 2004-2008 Recording Sessions collection. More information coming soon…

Lyrics written by Agrippa in 2005.

What is this you forced into my life?
Why am I the one they chose?

“You will reveal the prophecy
You will fulfill the prophecy”

“Go forth renew our legacy”

“Scribe all the words they speak through me”

I can’t accept this from you
The task you ask me to do

“Accept your role.
It’s not yours to choose from”

“This Law we give unto you.”

Take this burden away from me
I feel unworthy to serve you

” Help me, Lord of Thebes.
Unveil my voice before the world.
They will gather under stars.
I am above you and in you.
My ecstasy in yours.”

I will usher in for you the new aeon
The child god

But will they listen to your words
Or accept your Law?

“They’ve been waiting
For you to speak the Word”

Why have you chosen me though
What could I possibly know

“But you know, my priest of Thebes.”

I hear you
and understand this.

“Thou hast no right
But to do thy Will
Do thy will.”

“Speak this for me
O’ prophet of mine.”

“Love is the law”

“You will reveal the prophecy
You will fulfill the prophecy”

“Go forth renew our legacy”

“Scribe all the words they speak through me”
