ABRAXAS is the unknown god. He is the god above gods and removes the distinction between good and evil. With the ABRAXAS revelation, one comes to understand that light and shadow are the same and his judgement of others and the outside world ceases.
Pairs well with UNDER THE BLACK VEIL and THE SECRETS I KEEP.

the only thing to do
know the god before the god knows you
the unknown god is calling to you
light and shadow
they are the same

know the god before the god knows you
the unknown god is calling to you
light and shadow
they are the same
good is evil
celebrate the shame
welcome to the show
we’re glad you came
the unknown god
will know your name
the god they serve wants submission
wants you bent, wants you split
wants desire locked up
and shame stitched into it
built a hell on the ground
sold heaven delayed
told you wait, behave
while your life decayed
the unknown god wants freedom
not knees, not pleas
it wants your desires
wants to cure the disease
wants the voice you silenced
every vow you rehearsed
destroys the mask
wants to break the curse
wants the name you respond to
the role you protect
the future you memorized
and the fear you collect
yeah it costs everything
but they lied about how
it destroys the false self
so you can live in the now
you don’t cross over full
you cross over erased
every lie burned off skin
till there’s nowhere to brace
what returns isn’t hollow
isn’t broken or gone
it’s you without the costume
being naked isn’t wrong
so yeah it wants sacrifice
i’m not lying at all
it doesn’t need your worship
destroy the cage, heed the call
on the far side of fire
you’re not less, you’re aligned
more you than you’ve ever been
with nothing left to hide
their god is evil
can’t you see
evil is good
come with me
come with me
don’t
lie
don’t
lie
die before you die
come
clean
come
clean
this is what it means
know the god before the god knows you
the unknown god is calling to you
light and shadow
they are the same
good is evil
celebrate the shame
welcome to the show
we’re glad you came
the unknown god
will know your name
nothing to conquer
nothing to transcend
only the slow integration
of beginning and end
when i stopped calling parts of me wrong
and stopped trying to ascend
you entered through sensation
and brought the war to an end
every exile returned
every fracture kissed
the god i never named
was always this
know the god before the god knows you
the unknown god is calling to you
So strong, so hard and deep. A song as beautiful as an integrated masculinity. This is one of my favorites
It was written about our masculine sexual awakening so I am glad it resonates with you so strongly.
