0:02 The seed of godhead sleeps in Mortal hearts. The flower of godhead grows on the world tree. All Shall discover God in self and things, but when God's messenger comes to help the world and lead the soul of Earth to higher things, he too. Must carry the Yoke. He came to unloose he too must bear the Pang that he would heal. Exempt, a nun, afflicted by Earth's fate, how shall he cure the ills? He never felt. He covers the world's Agony with his calm, but though, to the outward, I know sign appears and piece is given to our torn human hearts.

0:49 The struggle is there and paid the Unseen price. The fire, The Strife, the wrestle are within He carries the suffering world in his own breast, it sins way on his thoughts. It's grief is his Earth's ancient load lies heavy on his soul night and its powers beleaguer. His tardy steps, the Titan adversaries. Clutch he bears His March is a battle and a pilgrimage life's evil smites. He is stricken with the world's pain.

1:29 A million wounds gape in his secret heart, he Journey Sleepless through an unending night antagonist forces crowd across his path. A Siege, a combat is his inner life. Even worse, maybe the cost direr the pain, his large identity and all harboring love shall bring the cosmic anguish into his depths the sorrow of all living things shall come and knock at his doors and live, within his house, a dreadful Court of sympathy can tie all suffering into his single grief and make all Agony in all the world, his own. He meets an ancient adversary Force. He is last with the whips to tear the world's Warren heart, the Weeping of the centuries.

2:23 Visits his eyes, he wears the blood glued fiery Center shirt, the poison of the world has Stained his throat in the marketplace of matters, Capital amidst, the chaff offerings of the affair called life. He is tied to the stake of a perennial fire. He burns on an unseen, original Verge that matter may be turned to Spirit stuff. He is the victim in his own sacrifice. The Immortal bound to Earth's mortality appearing in perishing, on the roads of time creates God's Moment.

3:04 By eternity' beats, he dies, that the world may be new born and live. Even if he escapes the fiercest fires, even if the world breaks, not in a drowning, see only by hard. Sacrifices, high heaven earned he must face the fight. The Pang, who would conquer? Hell, a dark concealed. Hostility is lodged in the human depths, in the hidden heart of time. That claims the right to change in, Mar God's work. A secret enmity ambushes, the world's, March it leaves a mark on thought and speech and act, it stamps, stain, and defect on all things done. Till it is.

3:55 Slain piece is forbidden on Earth. There is no visible phone but the Unseen is round US forces. Intangible besiege touches from Alien Realms thoughts, not our own overtake us and compel the Airing heart. Our lives are caught in an ambiguous. Net and adversary force was born of old, Invader of the life of mortal, man, it hides from him, the straight Immortal path. A power came into Vale, the eternal light up. Our opposed to the Eternal will diverts the messages of the infallible word, contorts The Contours of the cosmic plan, A Whisper lures to evil the human heart.

4:49 It seals up wisdoms eyes, the souls regard, it is the origin of our suffering here. It binds Earth to Calamity and pain. This. All must conquer who would bring down God's peace. This hidden folder lodged in the human breast man must overcome or miss his higher fate. This is the inner War without Escape.
