Out in the Wilderness
The arid, dry, thirsty desert
Up rises the Beast
So tender at first
So fragile and weak
But now it’s terrible to behold

He sent his bait before him
And the “world” loves to hate it
Ignoring him, they unite to destroy it
Long struggles they enter in
And yes, success!
The decoy is destroyed
But in its destruction, the Beast gains…
Power… yes much power
And those who were deceived
They also receive power
And become as gods
And so they reign with the Beast
But only for an hour
For the Beast honors none but himself
Even those who unknowingly serve him
Their bodies and souls will be the
Pavement upon which he strides

But what of this decoy?
The one who was never meant to be?
Attracting attention while the real enemy
Stalks the earth and dries up the water
Precious water that brings life
Life that flows from the spirit
Renewing the soul
Refreshing the body

Yes…
The Beast
So clever is he
To have created another beast upon which
We have concentrated; sending our legions against
So opposite was the 2nd, how were we deceived?
But now the opposite is the right and
The real is unknown
Now he can come forth and walk in our streets
We know him not;
Worse still, we welcome him as our friend
Yes, friends with the Beast we are!

The Beast is our savior
He saves us from the opposite
So, close he
So close to truth, yet so dark

So welcome him you enemies of the opposite!
Bring the Beast to your home, your children
Ensure that the next generation
Will be his allies
Will you do such a thing?

Who dares to stand against him?
Those who are willing to be called the opposite
The wicked opposite, the decoy
Where is the Warrior?
Who is willing?
Are all deceived?
Wake up! Wake up! Stand and fight
Though the whole world of former friends
Stand with the Beast
You must fight;

But carefully, carefully!
For not against them
Those former friends
Some of them will return
Error and Right will be made known
In the secret place, the Mighty Spirit whispers
Some will come back in humility
Do not burn their path back to you

Take heed now
Before it is too late
The mighty Beast is on his throne
Yet power still he lacks
To accomplish his evil designs
Still he must increase
Still he gains

But tremble you who fight against the decoy
Though those who stand against the Beast are few
There is a Mighty One (secret and powerful)
This Leader opposes you
