He who takes the bread shall live for ever;
He who drinks the wine shall perish never.
He who understands the light within
Can now begin to know the reason.
He who heard these words was torn asunder,
Seeing his lasting peace upon the thunder
Clouds. A perfect dream in silence rides
And woe betides the poor believer.
He who sees the vision where his dream lies
Merely casts a stone towards the sunrise;
Merely follows on towards the glow
As long ago he was commanded.
He who takes the bread takes an illusion;
He who drinks the wine drinks to confusion.
Staring through the light before his eyes,
You realise this man is blind.
Staring through the light before his eyes,
You realise this man is blind.
