The Ninth Gate

Silence is golden
No one attains who unlawfully contends
Silence is golden
No one attains who unlawfully contends

Only he, who has fought
According to the rules will succeed
Only he, who has fought
According to the rules will succeed

Two pair, two pair of keys
In both hands Open that which is enclosed

The lost word keeps the secret
No one attains who unlawfully contends

In vain
Time has been wasted in vain

I am enriched by death
Virtue lies defeated

I am enriched by death
The disciple surpasses the master

Now I know that from darkness comes Light
Now I know that from darkness comes Light
Now I know that from darkness comes Light
Now I know that from darkness comes Light
