All that lives obeys
Life speaks thus
You must appease the need
Those who don't obey themselves
Are found at life's mercy
Ye who are wisest
I pose an inquiry
Is will to truth will to power?
(And Who wills to be master?)
Enslaved by the imagination
Thou createst the ideas by which thy need is appeased
I've penetrated the heart of the matter
The weaker serves the stronger
Yet power drives the strongest
Life is sacrificed for power into death
While all the while life tells us that it must be overcome
Avoiding ascetic ideals
We must go beyond good and evil
Revenge must be overcome
Going under only to go over
Philosophizing with a hammer
Now is the time for war
With the creative will behind us
Let us create new values beyond this nihilism
