This is the gift
I am passing to you
take care of it
and love it too
Don't let it run dry
feed it in time
Let it rest upon sunset
shower it with sunshine
Protect it with your life
venerate it with your soul
give it utmost respect
as itself a worthy goal
A thing of real beauty
is meant to be loved
with everything you are
Think of nothing else
speak to no-one
retire to the mountaintops
stop living a common man
For the goal is worth
the sacrifice required
for with this you are saved
and to heaven shall you retire
This, too, is a curse
and your calvary starts here
endless pain and cries
will be your only gain
Brace yourself
for utmost isolation
alienate your loved ones now
severe your dealings with men
as time is of the essence
and this curse of utmost importance
Eat your plenty tonight
make love to your wife
kiss your kids to bed
bid your home goodbye
for tomorrow is a new day
of suffering and loathing
And as you lay to sleep
be sure to thank your deity
offer a worthy sacrifice
light your candles bright
sleep well and tight
