1
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:07,100
Hard is the world, redeemers
heavy task, the world itself

2
00:00:07,100 --> 00:00:11,800
becomes his adversary.
Those he would save our his

3
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,600
antagonists.
This world is in love with its

4
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,200
own ignorance.
Its darkness turns away from the

5
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:25,700
Savior light, it gives the cross
in payment for the crown his

6
00:00:25,700 --> 00:00:28,700
work as a trickle of Splendor in
a long night.

7
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:35,800
He sees the Long March of time,
the little one, a fewer saved,

8
00:00:35,900 --> 00:00:39,400
the rest strive on and fail the
Sun.

9
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,200
Has passed on Earth night Shadow
Falls.

10
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:49,500
Yes, there are happy ways near
to God, Son, but few are they

11
00:00:49,500 --> 00:00:54,700
who tread the sunlit path?
Only the pure in Soul can walk

12
00:00:54,700 --> 00:00:58,900
in light.
And exit is shown a road of hard

13
00:00:58,900 --> 00:01:02,700
escape from the sorrow and the
Darkness and the chain.

14
00:01:03,700 --> 00:01:07,500
But how shall a few escaped
released the world?

15
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,900
The human Mass lingers beneath
the Yoke Escape.

16
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:18,500
However, High redeems, not life,
life that is left behind on a

17
00:01:18,500 --> 00:01:22,000
Fallen Earth.
Escape cannot uplift.

18
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,800
The abandoned race were bring to
it Victory and the reign of God

19
00:01:28,100 --> 00:01:32,800
A greater power must come a
larger light although light

20
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:37,200
grows on Earth and night,
recedes yet till the evilest

21
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,600
slain in its own home and light
invades.

22
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:45,900
The world's incontinent base and
perished as the adversary Force.

23
00:01:46,500 --> 00:01:51,200
He still must labor on his work.
Half done one yet.

24
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:56,500
May come armored Invincible his
will immobile meet the mobile

25
00:01:56,500 --> 00:02:00,000
hour.
The world's blows cannot bend,

26
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,900
that Victor head.
Calm and sure are his steps in

27
00:02:03,900 --> 00:02:08,600
the growing night.
The goal, recedes, he hurries.

28
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,700
Not his Pace.
He turns not too high voices in

29
00:02:12,700 --> 00:02:16,200
the night.
He asks no aid from the inferior

30
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,200
Gods.
His eyes are fixed on his

31
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,600
immutable aim.
Man, turns aside or chooses

32
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,200
easier paths.
He keeps to the one high and

33
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:32,700
difficult road that Soul can
climb to the eternals Peaks.

34
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,100
The ineffable planes already
have felt his tread.

35
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,500
He is made Heaven and Earth his
instruments.

36
00:02:41,300 --> 00:02:46,300
But the limits fall from him of
Earth and Heaven There law, he

37
00:02:46,300 --> 00:02:50,000
transcends.
But uses as his means, he has

38
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,400
seized life's hands, he has
mastered his own heart.

39
00:02:55,300 --> 00:02:59,600
The faints of nature mislead.
Not his sight and flexible.

40
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:06,200
His look towards truths far end.
Fate deaf resistance, cannot

41
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:12,000
break his will in the Dreadful
passages, the Fatal paths

42
00:03:12,300 --> 00:03:17,100
invulnerable, his soul, his
heart on slain, he lived through

43
00:03:17,100 --> 00:03:21,400
the opposition of Earth's powers
and Nature's ambushes and the

44
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,700
world's attacks.
His Spirit stature transcending

45
00:03:25,700 --> 00:03:29,400
pain and Bliss.
He front evil and good with calm

46
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,300
and equalize.
He too.

47
00:03:32,700 --> 00:03:37,100
Must grapple with the Riddling
Sphinx and plunge into her long.

48
00:03:37,100 --> 00:03:43,000
Obscurity, he has broken into
the unconscious depths that Veil

49
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,600
themselves, even from their own
regard.

50
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,500
He has seen God Slumber shape
these magic worlds.

51
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,900
He has watched the dumb, God
fashioning matters, frame

52
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,400
dreaming the dreams of its
unknowing sleep and watch.

53
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,100
The unconscious force that built
the Stars.

54
00:04:04,700 --> 00:04:07,800
He has learned the incontinence
workings and it's law.

55
00:04:08,500 --> 00:04:13,100
Its incoherent, thoughts and
rigid acts its Hazard, wastes of

56
00:04:13,100 --> 00:04:17,800
impulse and idea the chaos of
its mechanic frequencies.

57
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:24,100
It's random calls, its Whispers
falsely To miss leaders of the

58
00:04:24,108 --> 00:04:29,200
hooded, listening Soul, all
things come to a tear, but

59
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,100
nothing abides, all Rose from
the silence.

60
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,700
All goes back to its hush, it's
somnolence founded the universe.

61
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:46,000
Its obscure waking makes the
world seem vain Arisen from

62
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,800
nothingness and towards
nothingness, turned it's dark

63
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,400
and potent.
Nescient was Earth start.

64
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,900
It is the way stuff from, which
all was made into its deep

65
00:04:58,900 --> 00:05:03,700
creation can collapse.
Its opposition clogs, the march

66
00:05:03,700 --> 00:05:09,600
of the Soul, it is the mother of
our ignorance, he must call

67
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:14,300
light into its dark abysm.
'S else never can truth conquer

68
00:05:14,300 --> 00:05:16,800
matters.
Sleep and all Earth.

69
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:21,500
Look into the eyes of God.
All things, obscure his

70
00:05:21,500 --> 00:05:24,900
knowledge must real.
Umm, all things perverse.

71
00:05:24,900 --> 00:05:29,300
His power must unknot.
He must pass to the other shore

72
00:05:29,300 --> 00:05:33,100
of falsehood.
See, he must enter the world

73
00:05:33,100 --> 00:05:38,200
dark to bring their light.
The heart of evil must be bear

74
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,400
to his eyes.
He must learn its Cosmic,

75
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,100
Darkness Essa T.
It's right.

76
00:05:44,100 --> 00:05:46,700
And it's dire, roots in nature
soil.

77
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,800
He must know the thought that
moves the demon act and

78
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:56,400
justifies the Titans airing
pride and the falsehood lurking

79
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:01,100
in Earth's crooked dreams.
He must enter The Eternity of

80
00:06:01,100 --> 00:06:07,100
night and know God's Darkness as
he knows his son for this.

81
00:06:07,100 --> 00:06:10,200
He must go down into the pit for
this.

82
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:15,700
He must invade the dolorous
vasts imperishable and wise and

83
00:06:15,700 --> 00:06:19,100
infinite.
He still must travel hell the

84
00:06:19,100 --> 00:06:22,500
world to save into the Eternal
Light.

85
00:06:22,500 --> 00:06:27,000
He shall emerge on borders of
the meeting of all worlds.

86
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,700
They're on the verge of nature
Summit steps.

87
00:06:31,100 --> 00:06:35,800
The secret law of each thing is
fulfilled all contraries healed,

88
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:40,700
their long, dissidents, their
meat and clasp, the Eternal

89
00:06:40,700 --> 00:06:44,700
opposites.
Their pain becomes a violent,

90
00:06:44,700 --> 00:06:50,700
fiery, Joy, evil turned back to
its original good and sorrow

91
00:06:50,700 --> 00:06:56,500
lies upon the breasts of bliss.
She has learned to weep glad

92
00:06:56,500 --> 00:07:01,600
tears of happiness, her gaze is
charged with a wistful, ecstasy

93
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:07,800
then shall be ended here.
The law of pain Earth shall be

94
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:13,400
made a home of Heavens light, a
seer heaven-born Lodge in human

95
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,200
breasts.
The supercontinent beam shall

96
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,900
touch men's eyes and the truth
conscious world come down to

97
00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:28,300
earth invading matter with the
spirits Ray, awaking its silence

98
00:07:28,300 --> 00:07:32,200
to a Mortal Thoughts.
Awaking the dumb heart to The

99
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,700
Living Word.
This Mortal life shall house

100
00:07:35,700 --> 00:07:41,200
eternity' Bliss.
The body self taste immortality

101
00:07:42,300 --> 00:07:46,200
Then shall the world redeemers
task be done.

102
00:07:42,300 --> 00:07:46,200
Then shall the world redeemers
task be done.
