If a man loses one thing,
he becomes rich in another.
He may fall in love with Heaven,
or with this deceptive world.
And with this inevitable choice,
the heart will pay the price
to pursue its longings
toward darkness or to light.
Universal Truth will bear down
on each of its Holy Swords.
The earth will swallow earthly beings.
The spirit will soar away.
In two kinds, clearly divided,
fate will reveal itself.
And on the fateful arenas,
it will bleed from fierce battles.
In an unrelenting drama,
the world will dig a trench,
while the victims, with the fiercest flames,
will vanish in their love.
With a distant target—until
the flesh breathes its last,
and the spirit steps into the Holy
Heaven, which opens its doors…
