Latter-day Paladins

Here's another song by Thelemic rapper Scholar; a.k.a. Christian Fitzharris. The first one I posted is here. To some, it may seem strange to associate the D&D character class most strongly associated with Lawful Good with a spiritual tradition that stems from "the wickedest man in the world," but hey, life is complicated sometimes... :-)

"Freedom to Fight"

I spit alchemical fire.
Sulfur in my veins and blood.
Battle ready I stand strong awaiting the flood.

Templar!
Trained and initiated.
Duly prepared, empowered on my path, I blast...
Never ending demons to the back get cast and sacked.
Attackin like a rabid pack of wolves.
I bust back with another Gnostic track.
Inflict sick cryptic wicked mantras and metaphors.

The metamorphosis from Narcissus.
Within this chrysalis is like an arsonist may burn away the dross.

Hot coals pop holes.
Revealing the True Self.
Within this micro-chasm of emptiness -- The Abyss.

Choronzon wants a bite.
So I ignite.
Enflame myself commanding energy around me.
Focus! Fear not at all.
Nu my refuge. Hadit my light and so I fight.

Fighters of the rights of Life and Liberty.
Soldiers for the war, draw swords from your floor boards.
Freedom to Fight freedom to organize.
Free to beat the freedom oppressors who keep freedom from being free.

Therion!
Call upon the beast within me.
Triple six sun shone.
Hone the solar On.

My averse pentagrams banishin' weak minds.
While my rhymes
Perplex second guessin analysts they say -

"You're too obscure.
"Your thoughts lost on your audience.
"Are you a satanist? What's with the Beast and triple six?"

"Who are you fighting?
"What's the war talk all about?

"I thought the O.T.O. was sex magick and about -
"drugs, drunken orgies, Jimmy Page, New Age chaos run amok.
"Black magick masses.
"Kissin' the ass of the Baphomet.
"Goat gods, Knights Templar -

"Do whatever you want, and flaunt it!
"Irresponsibly compromise, other people's lives."   (pause)

"Megalomaniacal -- Super Egotist
"Crowley worshippin' -- Sadism, racism
"Spiritual rapism."

And to finally kill these rumors, once and for all.
Read for yourself the Book of the Law.

Fighters of the rights of Life and Liberty.
Soldiers for the war, draw swords from your floor boards.
Freedom to Fight freedom to organize.
Free to beat the freedom oppressors who keep freedom from being free.

P.S.: I think Scholar has since renounced his relationship with the current manifestation of the O.T.O., but I think he would still approve of the eternal ideals outlined in this song. "Fight On" indeed!
