When I saw him I fell at his feet as though dead.   Then he placed his right hand on me and said:   “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last.   I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold   I am alive for ever and ever!   And I hold the keys of death and Hades.”       BRIDGE   Discard all remnants of malice   Deal with the remains of deceit   Annihilate all sense of hypocrisy   Leave it at the Keeper's feet       REFRAIN   Benevolence riling malevolence   Grace prevailing over death   Reaping the life of such prevalence   Dead to death.       “Follow me” said the Keeper as he walked the earth   “Let the dead bury their own dead”   “Do not be afraid of those who kill the body   But cannot kill the soul.   Rather, be afraid of the one who can   Destroy both soul and body in Hell.”       BRIDGE   Scrape out all feelings of envy   From slander your lips should be free   It's time to submit to the Keeper   Nail these things to the tree.       REFRAIN
