Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy? That in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all long-suffering for a pattern to them that should hereafter believe in him to life everlasting. Man by nature since the fall is a guilty creature, and being guilty is ready to be jealous of God, as if all his designs were designs of wrath against him. Yea, oftentimes so suspicious is man of God that he is jealous of the hardness of his design, and that that which is one of the greatest instances of his love in the world, and that is in sending his son Jesus Christ into the world to save sinners. But I come to one use for this doctrine, if it be so that the Lord hath been pleased to give such instances of grace in encouragement for the worst of sinners to close with Christ in order to life everlasting, then you may see that instances of grace are not given you to encourage you in sin; it is that it may be a pattern to them that believe. The reason is not that ye should continue hard and secure and delay your confession, but you can believe; for I assure you the riches of the grace of God hath no tendency to at all to make folk secure. One word further, that is delay no longer, you have have put it aff before and since the sentence, ye've been much dealt wi', and now it comes within a day of your stepping into eternity; and we are come to you the day before your death entreating you put it off no longer. O be serious! God hath exercised a great deal of longsuffering towards you, and ye have hardened your heart; and now we are come to you In Your Adversity, at last to desire you to take Jesus Christ, and if you will not take him, we are free of your blood. And Jesus Christ is free of your blood, and if ye should endure a thousand hells, ye yourselves are only to be blamed for the slighting of the great salvation.

AAAAAAH! I wish I could take credit for everything you said I’ve done. Because if I was to start, it wouldn’t just be pins I’d have pricking ye. Your gullet wouldn’t be just full of straw. An a’ that coal would have stayed stuck in your throat, burning out hotter than the shite ye’ve saw fit to talk. Ye’ve never even seen me in the orchards, ye’ve never cast an eye on me until a while ago, after ye needed a face to blame for your own failures of faith. I hate you more than words can express! And that’s just you. It’s not enough! You’re not enough to satisfy my hatred. So I turn to all of ye here in this crowd afore me. Ready to watch us die for her lies. Well I’m no going quietly, I paid the devil nae heed nor mind till now. And I swear now, I’ll dae a’ he wants if it means a’ o yies will pay. And no just you, yer bairns an’ all their bairns, and theirs and all,and on and on. I’m no able to see it a’ through, but Satan will carry it oan for me. And I renounce Christ, I renounce Christ and Heaven. I say it again, I renounce Christ. I said it thrice, because for a’ yous Even a Curse Shall Not Suffice.

Even a curse
Shall not suffice
To resolve...
I’m unfulfilled
Desires
Looking Outside
For the solution
Yields no…
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Anger
Anger
Anger

Something is there
Behind the veil
Scratching
beyond senses
Grey light
absorbing
Will [to] turn and flee
The Trance takes hold
Whispers
[of] forgotten names
Arrest the plumes
of smoke
Smouldering
from incense
Poisoning the air
All faces pale
All faces pale
Insanity
eroding all pretenses
Of surrendering
No ears
to hear a plea
The air
becoming much less cold
Black Hues erupt
as flames
Receiving seed in his presence
New sons and daughters
Children of Ammon
Cradled by Moloch
Ignite then reduce to ash
In the Valley
of Hinnom

Thus ends Mahakala

A desolate future
They warned us about
In waking nightmares
For which to prepare
The signs were ignored
In crises of wit
And reason collided
With false piety
No words of power
No Shemhamforash
No Invocations
No one to outlast
The Coming of Silence
Not just a reprieve
Or ending Salvation
But the end of a fuse
That no one ignited
A paradox ignored
All creation retracting
To the Ain Soph Aur
Retracing of Sacrifice
Implosion of Faith
In Gods that so ancient
Have misplaced their names
The grave is the cradle
Each one and the same
For deceased and living
Ideas erased
So this is the outcome
Of God’s fatal flaw
The time loop has broken
Thus ends Mahakala
Antecedents futile
No succession to come
The light is receeding
Equation solved as one
The One has no safety
It too shall expire
Snuffed out with no flicker
To welcome the void
