A long outcast creature
Found himself void of worth Where the hunger for love His rebellion is deeply frustrated Measure of measure By intense pain, sorrow and misery Vitalised by the breath of self love Live is conscious of one In the spirit of love We become the masters And if we are generous We grow into kings We nurture fantasy and ego They are — one and the same Philia, Eros, Ludus, Agape, Pragma, Philauttia Is pleasure and pain I sought my death and found it in my womb I looked for love And found it was a shade I trod the earth And knew it was my tomb And now I live And now my life is done Indestructible, it has power to destroy Therefore it alone Is true freedom and existence O, desire, listen! Are you ever free of desideratum? The scorn of all your reforms Or the inversion of all your values This constant curse and blasphemy Are not our bodies all smeared it's blood? Oh, silent watcher Thou sleepless eye of the universe Watch over me 02. Distrust Thy Teacher
Leaving aside all unreal dreams
Consider this world as insincere The hypocrite is always at prayer Make this thy obsession dost thou suffer? Transgression is wiser than prayer There is no fear but fear itself The wrath is revealed Against all that hold the truth Distrust thy teacher Should death give you its secret? Embrace reality by imagination Have we not forgotten more than we shall ever learn? Everything is true at some time The will, the desire, the belief Treat with the utmost contempt O, fool! Anathema does not exist There is no death You who stink like a butcher's Slave! All you know for certain — you suffer Flattery is a dishonesty Transgression is wiser than prayer There is no fear but fear itself The wrath is revealed against all that hold the truth Distrust thy teacher Should death give you its secret? O sin, where is thy violence? O love, where is thine incest? O thought, where is thy courage? O hope, where is thy faith 03. Faith And Denial
The grey sky reflecting its red
What now is left, all hope is dead? I've buried my illusion and dishonesty What is true? Can I Forget? Indifference, the desire intense Empty skin destroyed and gone rotten One's forgotten becoming restless Where is fear? Can I Forgive? I desire, the wild satyr I vampire, chalice of ecstasy I procreate, the sinful despair I putrid mess and dust of dead I resurrection, living nightmare of life I desire all things, eternal I blasphemer, throwing off his grave I am the great cypher of love and hate I come, the changing word that destroys I reveller, the mad monarch of desires The grey sky reflecting its red What now is left, all hope is dead? I've buried my illusion and dishonesty What is true? Can I Forget? Indifference, the desire intense Empty skin destroyed and gone rotten One's forgotten becoming restless Where is fear? Can I Forgive? I grotesque, hidden by nightmares I knowledge, created and destroyed I have learned and unlearned I say, faith and denial 04. Smash The Low
Lost
Among The great illusions My Desires shall become flesh My pride To ride my beast Devouring My Own Vomit Smash the law To create chaos Disillusion awake every fear Smash the law The brave care nothing 05. Shadow March
So much being hidden
I am never less than I am I’m stranger, the cause of my Desolation Fulfil the disgust Of discovering my beliefs Among beasts I live The ugly destiny Weapon of words Give up, give up! Shadow grew! Another shadow So much being hidden I am never less than I am I’m stranger, the cause of my Desolation I, who seek Whether you know Are you so vain Honesty is unvoiced Weapon of words Give up, give up! Shadow grew! Another shadow 06. Arise
I am life
And I am death I spit sorrow and disgrace The red sky turning black I am, I was, I shall be Before beginning without an end The path is straight I know it well Arise And follow me What you see? The black sky turning red I am life And I am death I spit sorrow and disgrace 07. Prayer At The Ruins
The darker the night
The brighter the stars The deeper the grief Pain and suffering Eradicate my ideals Destroy my desires I will follow you I swear Break what must be broken Once and for all Sorrow compressed my heart Stained with my blood The darker the night The brighter the stars The deeper the grief Pain and suffering 08. The Preacher Of Nihil
Unruly race of men
Weak and vile Rebelling against power Rioting and barring The great conquerors Like hurricanes over the face Spatter with tears of blood Bearing the cross Deathlike silence Pitch darkness The beast will crawl to us And lick our feet There was nothing left but faith The tears of humanity Thou believe that all the wisdom united Depth and force Shall we be right Or shall we be lying Bearing the cross Deathlike silence Pitch darkness 09. Heretic Confessions (Heresikon)
If this were enough?
Why are kneeling to be known? Lord of Eternal Sun I’m fIrst and only one If this were too much? Why are kneeling to be known? Lord of Eternal Sun I’m last and I’m one Let me be master of my mind I refuse, I refuse to Destroy my pride My hopes and fears My love and sorrow |
