and who am i but
the adversary
i am the great samael
the accuser
who hands moses his
stone tablets and
torments the faithful

and who am i but
the great venom
that seeps from
the mouth of god
that reveals
nomos within
antinomos

yes, i am but
the destroyer
the faithful servant
of god almighty
that fools call evil
and sages call good

i am the great samael
i am the castrato
delivering god's vengeance
severe, wrathful
the almond's shell
the gate to eden
the klippot

confront me, break me
you might fulfill your duty
observe me, revere me
you bind yourself in halachos
and you are good as dead
