01. Devil's Blood

Ageless, eternal in grace
Behold the snake of temptation!
Eyes gleaming with wisdom
Tongues telling of truths inversed
I have swallowed the hanged mans semen
With necrophageous delight
And let the Devil enter
With all his might

And in unbearable shame, enlighted by your fathomless dark
I kneel unto thee, father, i am opened
Let your daggers pierce through
And their poisonous grace be unleashed through these hungering veins
The impurest of blood, the greatest of pains!!!

The Devils blood
The curse of salvation
The odious essence
Of His holy revelation
It floats from the Garden of Eden
In malevolent grace
The Devil's blood
Through the pentagram's maze

To open the gates to where deformations form
To unearthly mysteries and fire
From stigmatized wounds now the river of gnosis runs free
In the glorious light of the five point star

Darkness, starlight in eyes
The path reveals so clear now
I drink my own blood yet the taste is not mine
I behold my reflection yet no one stares back
Driven by a lifeless hunger
Must have it stilled
Drop by drop, curse by curse
Until all three cups are filled

This soul prayeth not for victory, but for loss
This body kneeleth not in vain, but in blood
These eyes seethe not nil, but truth
These words are spoken not by me, but through

The Devils blood
The curse of salvation
The odious essence
Of His holy revelation
From the tongues of the serpent
Into chalices three
The Devil's blood
Runneth through me!

02. Black Salvation

Visions of horn shaped shadows
A burning firmament black
Trembling in the glory of a star
Delightfully glowing with evil
Ten signs to spawn
A thousand of children
And to be given strength
Each time a heart it beats

For they gave birth to the sun and the moon
To cast shadows upon life
And to burn the slaves that in madness gaze
With scorn from serpent eyes

Just as cancerous cocaine
Deep in the veins of Christ
The malignant curse divine
Floats within you all...
You all!

May the holy light of Satan's might
Burn my eyes!
This filth is not worth the glance...
Shining steel with Devil's seal
Cut my flesh!
Let them lick the blood
In the ashes of my fallen temple

And just as cancerous cocaine
Deep in the veins of Christ
The malignant curse divine
Floats within you all
And the bonds are burning
Along with His eyes
Forever to brand the heart of god
Forever... Spearing cosmos core!

For it was that light
That branded the Devil's mark
Into my flesh
My soul and my heart
Never to close these eyes
Never to still this thirst
High on the cross of Sophia
Through black salvation I hang cursed

03. Opus Dei (The Morbid Angel)

And all that is holy, holy shall be...
Let the light bless and
let these words proclaim the blessing.
Let the seal be broken and let the light prevail;
Let the earth be scorched and let the light prevail;
Let the wrath cleanse the world from opposition...

...And let heaven spew brimstone on sin!

And all that is holy, holy shall be...
Let alive the word's proclamation,
Let the laws of The Books be the laws of the earth;
Let humanity be sin and let denial be bliss;
Let the wars cleanse the world and
let their fear show their path.

Let the Light reign over Man and beast,
let the Lord strike the sinners with plague,
let the Lord our God reign for eternity;
and all that is Holy, Holy shall be...

For the carnal and earthly mouths of Christ
He has made blind and as vices they are
Let their words and acts be spears and be chains
Tormenting the weeping face of their god

From the valley of Sodom to the hill of Armageddon
Behold the holocaust clouds and heed the trumpet's roar
A Charge more forceful than ever witnessed
May the Angels of Heaven shed the blood of Man

Behold, the new and true Gospel,
the words come from the Lord himself,
Redemption through death!
Salvation through fire!

And all that is holy, holy shall be...
Let the light bless and
let these words proclaim the blessing.
Let the seal be broken and let the light prevail;
Let the earth be scorched and let the light prevail;
Let the wrath cleanse the world from opposition...

...And let heaven spew brimstone on sin!

Let the prophets of double voices free
And in Gehinnoms splendor eternally
Let them BURN for their true majesty
And all that is Holy, Holy shall be!!!

04. Puzzles Of Flesh

Blinded soul, vomit faith
Fingers reaching deep
Senses made dogmas
And the Phoenix rises...

None is denial
I am not one of mine
His words unlocked

Backwards, reforming what won't reflect
Assembling puzzles of flesh
Perfect... Yet unknown!

Sigils encarved, the burning stench reveals frustration
None could deny Him!
Carrying the voids of those eyes

None is denial
I am not one of I
My words unlocked

It reveals through the fall
Staring at the abyss, getting further
Through mirrors...
Flesh & mind complete, in need for substance!

You are denied
You are not one of He
Your words are locked.

05. I Am The Earth

He lives through me
All of what I am
The needle of hamartia
Injected in the flesh of man
With the soul of a carrion
Sleeping, yet awake
For underneath this skin
Crawls Eden's cursed snake

Hic est draco caudam suam devorans!

You may have felt it's cold
Caressing down your spine
Gently yet with strength
And with a morbid touch
For its real shape is a razor
Smeared with the Devil's seed
And infected with it's plague
Are the scars from which I bleed

I am the earth
Chained to horns
Its ground is my flesh
Pierced by Holy thorns
I am the earth
Burning deep within
It's water is my blood
Blackened by my sins

Swallowed by His mystery
Lots within it's maze
The bridges behind they burn
from the pyres of Hell's grace
One after another
The stars fade into black
He has called my name
There is no way back...

Pierced by His will
Trapped within His lair
My flesh shall be the sign
Of that fires are to fear
For those who walk upon me
Shall be punished for their turns
I am the earth
And within me the Devil burns!

I am the earth
In the shadow of the Lord
A crucifix of flesh
Yet sinfully adored
I am the earth
As your life with me does blend
I am His truth
The world without end...

The world without end.

06. The Golden Horns Of Darash

All ysop burnt, all fruits are poisoned
Tzadik failed and Zebaoth lost,
The lambs are banished, the temple is soiled
March on white ruin, infernal host

So come forth, Lord of the triple number
Rise, oh trinity of death, death and death
Burn this vermin world in its most deep slumber
And to all of Shelob, give the sulphur breath

Blacken all their ghastly colours
And freeze to scorn their charity warmth
Smear our sin to their most pure innocence
And nail them all to the cross!

For they live to die, we die to live
Our beginning is their end!
While they fall with twelve, we rise with seven
So wake the astral serpent by Thy pale hand!

All ysop burnt, all fruits are poisoned
Adonai failed and Elohim lost
The lambs are slaughtered, our temple shines golden
Crawl on your ruin, seraphic host ...

And my tongue speaks ancient names
Forbidden psalms above the flames
My heart pumps but void into my veins
My pulse runs slow, too slow for chains
For chains that tie me down to earth
For chains that keep up this organic curse

For I see horns
Golden horns
For I see horns
Horns!

07. From The Pulpits Of Abomination

No less real than those whose voices echoes through the starless abyss
No less cruel their nature, no less harmful their intent
Of sinful seed, of soiled womb, circling the five wings throughout eternities

And in a tomb beneath the pyramid of faith, as a crown lain at their feet
Behold the pillaged and impure remains of a god who failed
Guarded by the giant pillars to be moved by the Devil alone
For they are the stones of the throne of Christ which he swallowed
and exhaled unto earth as his own!

Icthus!
Thine gills art dried!
Iesous Christos Thou Uios Soter
Where there was heart shall be vertebra
...For your children have been led astray!
Icthus!
Quench thine thirst with my urine
Warm as love it shall rinse through the salt in your lungs
For the thirst of the desert strangles all senses
Tempted art thou and no one can resist him...
None!

For what is the worth of a godless prophet whose tongue since long has dried,
in completeness bereft from grace?
Through millenniums tormented by the eternal eye and it's piercing vigilance
Doomed to fail, for what hope can you ignite in their forsaken hearts?
When in deluge thou art fallen, your scriptures are altered and your doctrine
rewritten in blood?

What unity in tribes long scattered?
What glory and hope in a cross that is shattered?
Hark! The mourning wails of defeat echoes throughout centuries!

The horns of the baphomet in the wounds of Jesus thrice
An allegiance of flesh and steel, unto which titan altar we all kneel
Hark! The reversed words of Yahweh from the pulpits of abomination!

See him now possessed and reborn, the fallen messiah alight
At the burning crest of the serpent's spiral smiling in confusion
Fear all ye faithful for no longer on his forehead a crown of thorns
In the shadow of the bloodstained cross Christ has risen... with horns!

Icthus!
Iniquitys mystery revealed!
Iesous Christos Thou Uios Soter
Where there was thorns shall be the horns of a goat
For neither in life or in death are they absent!
Icthus!
The greatest of creations laid to waste!
Malformed and depraved limbless nothingness son of a whore
Two nails in your hands for both father and son
And in the dirt of your feet piercing the holy spirit

08. Casus Luciferi

From the vaults below the desert temple
To the throne among the stars
In the hearts of us, your children, oh divine luminary
Thou shineth!
Like sunbeams penetrating the foundations of the earth
Thine grace ignites the seeds of creation
And in our veins is stillness, as your shadows come to life
For they are like whispers speaking of
...Death in heaven

Behold the black cloud of corpse like birds
Their wings are on fire
And their song has turned backwards
A morbid cacophony singing of...
A new dawn!

Burn my flesh, thou light of lights
Most eminent perfection, most magnificent of sights
Mark me with thee, stainless Ar
Most real, so clear and bright they shine both eye and star
Descend upon the dead, black sky
By a grace of just one glance they all shall die
Pour the bitter wine of salvation into our blood
And let our scars form rivers flooding the kingdom of their god

Let the immense gates of heaven open
Let the dawn of justice come
When a thousand pale and silenced faces
Turn towards the sky
To behold in fear and wonder how the firmament turns dark
By the sound of a lonely trumpet calling
And countless birdlike carrion's falls reeking from above
Embedded in a red glow telling of...
A burning dawn!

For this sunrise shall not wake you by the foul light of Christ
But by Satan's fire burning in your eyes
And the thundering voice of a lion over the plains of man
Shall proclaim the horned phoenix final rise
For it is not rain that falls tonight from the black, ominous sky
But sulphur tears from the last flock of birds
And the wind carries the smell of death, from the agony in their hearts
As the fly in nameless fear towards...
Luciferion!
