Why tremble in the dark?
Dark, dark is the night
but why tremble? asks the Lord;
Everywhere am I – when you accept this, you accept my power

My dear, you know where obsessing leads.
My dear, you know where obsessing leads.
You know its path and destination.
That which is irresistible does not guarantee health,
nor does following it lead to fragrant places.

You accept my blindness and work with me;

The ever-present decision
If you seek to surpass the self, you must die.
This is the only path.
Many try to discover another path
only to find themselves on this very path with
this very decision, again, before them
