Left the city of Sodom
Where gnosis flourished
His wife heard Yaldabaoth’s wrath
As the two lands burned
Hearing the children crying
Her heart made blood tears
It ripped from top to bottom
Hearing the calm call
Of gnosis...

Endurance...

anyone can sense danger from all sides...
wondering if this is our final chapter,

Mad at a world that's full of cattle being steered

HEARTThe invitation was sent
The moment the agreement was made

BecomingThe thing I look for,
That thing I become.
The perspective I carry,
On that road, I am buried.
