BLACK MADONNA Lyrics

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

Darkness is the one true actuality

The basis and the root of light

Without which the latter could never 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

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

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

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

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
