QUINTESSENTIAL ARTS©
BLACK MADONNA
[Intro]
Know that there's traditionalists
That hold back the good thoughts
And there's people in offices
That stop the creative people
And are intimidated by actual good ideas
And I believe like a utopia is actually possible
But we are led by the least noble
The least dignified
The least tasteful the dumbest and the most political
Uh so in no way am I a politician
I'm usually and at my best politically incorrect
[Verse 1]
Darkness is the one true actuality
Thе basis and the root of light
Without which the latter could nеver manifest itself
Nor even exist
Light is matter and darkness pure spirit
Give heed my son Horus
For you shall hear the secret doctrine
Of which our forefather kamephis was the first teacher
It so befell that Hermes heard this teaching from Kamephis
The eldest of our race
I heard it from Hermes the writer of records
At the time when he initiated me
Into the Rite of Black Perfection
And you shall hear it now from me
[Bridge 1]
Our Queenship
Thou art full of grace goodness and mercy
I consecrate to thee all my thoughts words and actions
My soul and body I beseech thy blessings
And especially prayers for my salvation
Today I consecrate myself to Thee Good Mother
Totally with body and soul amid joy and sufferings
To obtain for myself and others
Thy blessings on this earth and eternal life in heaven
[Verse 2]
Etruscans embarked upon a series of conquests
Initially probably not coordinated
But undertaken by individual cities
The pressing motive for expansion was that
By the middle of this century
The Greeks not only had obtained a grip on Corsica
And expanded their hold on Sicily and southern Italy
But also had settled on the Ligurian coast
[Bridge 2]
For all her prevalence and influence
Black Madonna remains a surprisingly misunderstood figure
In mainstream Christianity
Too often, racism and ignorance obscure her true origins
She is the mother of universes
Identified with the primordial darkness and chaos of the universe
And with the moist and fertile black earth
Our Queenship speaks to an ancient cultural memory
Of the African origins of humanity
Representing the original mother of Earth's children
[ Verse 3]
Etruscans had established a thriving commercial
And agricultural civilization
Characteristics of their artistic achievements are the wall frescoes
And realistic terra-cotta portraits found in their tombs
Religion at that time employed elaborately organized cults and rituals
Including the extensive practice of divination
