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
