The Pentagram Lyrics
In the years of the primal course,
In the dawn of terrestrial birth,
Man mastered the mammoth and horse,
and Man was the Lord of the Earth
He made him an hollow skin
From the heart of an holy tree,
He compassed the earth therein,
And Man was the Lord of the Sea
He controlled the vigour of steam,
He harnessed the lightning for hire;
He drove the celestial team,
And man was the Lord of the Fire
Deep-mouthed from their thrones deep-seated,
The choirs of the aeons declare
The last of the demons defeated,
For Man is the Lord of the Air
Arise, O Man, in thy strength
The kingdom is thine to inherit,
'Til the high Gods witness at length
that Man is the Lord of his Spirit
In the dawn of terrestrial birth,
Man mastered the mammoth and horse,
and Man was the Lord of the Earth
From the heart of an holy tree,
He compassed the earth therein,
And Man was the Lord of the Sea
He harnessed the lightning for hire;
He drove the celestial team,
And man was the Lord of the Fire
The choirs of the aeons declare
The last of the demons defeated,
For Man is the Lord of the Air
The kingdom is thine to inherit,
'Til the high Gods witness at length
that Man is the Lord of his Spirit

This is not an Edlund text, it is a poem by Aleister Crowley. This text was probably part of Crowley's occult rituals, its content explains the magical meaning of the pentagram - a man mastering the 4 elements: fire, water, air, earth and then mastering the spirit.
Depeche Mode - To have and to Hold
I guess this is pretty obvious, it depicts the evolution of man and his mastery of the elements. He made household out of earth, sailed the seas, discovered fire and flew around the world. However, only the last element separates human race from a metaphysical godlike condition - spirit. Which means we need to learn how to love. And that is probably never.
I will become master of the universe...
