Zarathushtra thus spake a word
Through all the world to be heard.
Wrapped in mystery and secrets he told,
Of a time before man, his soul had sold.
When the heavens still moved
And the gods still thundered
And the rocks from the mountains cried out
And the waters of rivers were alive.
But long is the time since man has believed
In a world any greater than what he has conceived.
And long will be the time before man will know
The peace that only the supernatural can bestow.
