There’s got to be a reason 
There’s got to be a meaning 
For all this effort marked 
By centuries of questions and doubts 

I was blinded, turned deaf to speech 
My hair turned grey, my flesh a rot 
Every thought stillborn and my soul turned bliss 

For I know nothing 
The gods resented my plead 
Thus I turned three hundred years old 
Without having learned anything 

All this pondering, it’s made me sway 
All this to make out the one final question 

I was blinded, turned deaf to speech 
My hair turned grey, my flesh a rot 
Every thought stillborn and my soul turned bliss 

For I know nothing 
The gods resented my plead 
Thus I turned three hundred years old 
Without having learned anything 

In dark and lonely hours 
I sought to find the heart of our creation 
Never could I dream of what 
I found by the greatest hexagram 

For I know nothing 
The gods resented my plead 
Thus I turned three hundred years old 
Without having learned anything 

The thesis of God, the search for Magick 
Made me at first seek, then bow to a truth I didn’t want to know 

For I know nothing 
The gods resented my plead 
Thus I turned three hundred years old 
Without having learned anything
