The Three Metamorphoses

Could it be possible?
The old saint in the forest hath not yet heard, that God is dead?

Revere the values that are given
Renounce all aggression, do as you're told
Love even those who despise you
Forsake your body to save your soul
Could this be the way?
Could this be the truth?
I must search
I must find proof
Into the desert of solitude
I must seek out my Lord and God

Go into foul water, for therein lies the truth
Suffer hunger of soul for the sake of truth

My last lord and god I shall slay, his is not my way
I am the great lion, freedom I shall claim

The Lord God Dragon spoke to me
He cried, "Thou Shalt"
On his golden scales glimmered the values of a thousand ages
Each one a Thou Shalt
But no
I Will

The Lord God Dragon questioned me
Why won't the camel suffice?
Why not renounce and be reverent?
To all these values of mine?
But I said "Nay" unto my duty
And the lion slayed the dragon
Left to find meaning of my own

I have overcome these old dead values
I have overcome the nothingness that came with their destruction
And from the nothing was born a child
A new beginning, a creator
