The One
I rise from the ashes from which you were made
To strike vengeance into the hearts of men
My name is Fear, My shroud Destruction, My blade is Rage
For you do not know who you are
You have strayed from the path
But turn to Me and you shall see My face, My face which is Compassion
Take Me by the hand and you shall know Love
Follow Me and you will not feel the sting of death, for evil holds no power over you
In the darkness I am both the shadow and the light
I am known to neither the mind nor eyes
To the heart I am blood
To the soul I am life
To you I am Christ, Allah, Shiva, Aten, Vishnu, Siddhartha Gautama
