In the beginning, is prepared to
close.

6
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:30,000
This strange irrational product
of the mire, this compromise

7
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,400
between the Beast and God.
Is not the crown of the eye

8
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,900
miraculous world.
I know they're shall inform the

9
00:00:38,900 --> 00:00:44,600
incontinent cells at one with
nature and at height with

10
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:50,600
Heaven, a spirit vast as the
containing sky and swept with

11
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:55,800
ecstasy, from invisible,
fountains a God, come down and

12
00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:01,000
greater by the Fall.
A power arose out of my Slumbers

13
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,400
cell.
Abandoning, the tardy, limp of

14
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:10,000
the hours and the inconstant
blink of mortal sight.

15
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:16,300
There where the Thinker sleeps
in too much light and intolerant

16
00:01:16,300 --> 00:01:18,600
Flames.
The loan all witnessing.

17
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:26,200
I hearing the word of Fate from
Silent heart in the endless

18
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:31,500
moment of Eternity.
It saw from timelessness, The

19
00:01:31,500 --> 00:01:37,600
Works of time over past where
the leaden formulas of the Mind.

20
00:01:38,700 --> 00:01:41,700
Overpowered the Obstacle of
mortal space.

21
00:01:42,900 --> 00:01:47,700
The unfolding image showed the
things to come a giant dance of

22
00:01:47,700 --> 00:01:51,600
Shiva tour.
The past there was a thunder as

23
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:56,600
of Worlds that fall Earth was or
run with fire and the Roar of

24
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:01,000
death clamoring to slay.
A world is hunger had made.

25
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,000
There was a clangor of
destructions wings that Titans

26
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:11,000
Battle Cry was in my ears alarm
and rumors shook the armored

27
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,900
Knight.
I saw the omnipotence flaming

28
00:02:15,900 --> 00:02:22,200
Pioneers over the Heavenly Verge
which turns towards life come

29
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,500
crowding down.
The Amber stairs of birth

30
00:02:26,900 --> 00:02:31,400
forerunners of a Divine
multitude out of the paths of

31
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,800
the Morning Star.
They came Into the little room

32
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:40,800
of mortal life.
I saw them cross the Twilight of

33
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:46,900
an age, the sun, I'd children of
a marvelous Dawn the great

34
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:49,900
creators with wide Brown's of
calm.

35
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:56,300
The massive Barrier Breakers of
the world and wrestlers with

36
00:02:56,300 --> 00:02:59,700
Destiny.
And her lists of will the

37
00:02:59,700 --> 00:03:02,200
laborers and the quarries of the
Gods.

38
00:03:03,300 --> 00:03:05,800
The Messengers of the
incommunicable.

39
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:13,700
The Architects of immortality
into the Fallen human sphere.

40
00:03:13,700 --> 00:03:19,100
They came Faces that wore the
Immortals Glory still?

41
00:03:20,500 --> 00:03:26,100
Voices that communes still with
the thoughts of God, bodies made

42
00:03:26,100 --> 00:03:30,700
Beautiful by the spirits light
carrying the magic word, the

43
00:03:30,700 --> 00:03:35,400
Mystic fire carrying the
dionysian cup of Joy,

44
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:41,400
approaching eyes of a diviner.
Man lips, chanting an unknown

45
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:47,400
anthem of the sole feet echoing
in the corridors of time.

46
00:03:49,300 --> 00:03:55,100
High Priests of Wisdom sweetness
might and Bliss discovers.

47
00:03:55,100 --> 00:03:59,100
A beauty sunlit ways and
swimmers of loves laughing,

48

53
00:04:26,500 --> 00:04:31,500
Even as of old man came behind
the Beast, this High Divine.

54
00:04:31,500 --> 00:04:35,400
Successor.
Surely shall come behind man's

Heavy unchanged ways still the
imperfect World.

66
00:05:21,100 --> 00:05:24,800
The Splendid youth of time has
passed and failed.

67
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:30,500
Heavy and long are the years,
our labor counts and still the

68
00:05:30,500 --> 00:05:36,600
seals are firm upon man's soul
and weary is the ancient

69
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:41,500
