Chart #3

taellad

just wondering if anybody here can help me out on this one. It's in my signature! I'm trying to figure out who the speaker is on this, although I admit there's few clues. It's taken from the Godspeed You Black Emperor! album "Raise Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven". Just wondering whether it's just some crazy preacher or whether it's a 'famous' piece. Any help would be appreciated.

monologue: hung over as the queen in maida vale

...prepared in innocence to meet our king of glory
and so we have this, you have it in your secret windows:
and you're understanding to understand it and to bring it forth.
it takes minute detail, it takes a holy life, it takes emotions, it takes dedication it takes dedication, it takes a death, and only god can allow it and you couldn't do it if you're not the seed of god. and so the path through the great corridors (these are corridors unto his perfection) that is which the prophet and the oarman summoned has penetrated. that through this great sea of blackness that i penetrated through these corridors
and i went through that last segment where i went through these dark serpentines. i passed through that corridor
where they sat,
where they are.
and when you penetrate to the most high god, you will believe you are mad: you will believe you've gone insane.
but i tell you if you follow the secret window and you die to the ego nature, you will penetrate this darkness.
oh yes there's many a man or woman
that's been put in the insane asylum
when this has happened to them
and they're sitting there today, people think they're insane
but they saw something that's real
and they see it when they're on drugs
the only thing is they see it
not through the light of god, and the way i show you
i show you to see it through the light of god
and the understanding of god
because when you see the face of god you will die
and there will be nothing left of you
except the god-man, the god-woman
the heavenly man, the heavenly woman
the heavenly child
there will be terror under this day of night
there will be a song of jubilee waiting for your king
there will be nothing you will be looking for in this world
except for your god
this is all a dream
a dream in death

and so i went through that window
and the tower of hell and the great serpentines of the highest order and i went through that when i showed you chart #3
the question is asked and learned and someone who is concerned with the pimp: that if the right question is asked, I will show you unspoken words that've never been spoken, they're not even in the Bible...
