I know you I taste your essence
With the Blackness of my mind Pain is me and I'm relentless The wedding bells of death now chime In the darkness of your mourning All your treasures become mine A living flame Will be your star to follow Stolen Splendor I am there... By The Hammer Of Zeus And The Wrecking Ball Of Thor! Black is my heart in spite of the dawn Black is my soul with fear, force and malice I bring the sun out of the dark Rabid and sharp you'll fell the madness From my black dead world Evil winds blow on the water Fill your mouth with poison wine All behold the arts of murder The seven winds of Anu cry Thunder, spear and sacred iron Set a course for Man divine The mountain flame will be your star to follow Golden splendor... I am there... By The Hammer Of Zeus And The Wrecking Ball Of Thor! Black is my heart in spite of the dawn Black is my soul with fear, force and malice I bring the sun from out of the dark Rabid and sharp you'll fell the madness From my black dead world Savage I start to tear out your eyes The Gods swarm like flies in the starlight... True flesh is born to rape Ancient forms A grave for your world where the God light Tears your soul I am the son of the sun, I am the wreaker of pain I am the son of the sun born to no one I am the wreaker of pain Nothing remains of your world... Savage I start to tear out your eyes The Gods swarm like flies here on my sacrifice Kingship has come to Heaven's new son A grave for your world as starlight bleeds you gold I know you I claim your essence In the Blackness of my mind Pain is me and I'm relentless The wedding bells of death now chime The Golden Hawk will be your star to follow Throne of fire I am there... By The Hammer Of Zeus And The Wrecking Ball Of Thor! By The Hammer Of Zeus And The Wrecking Ball Of Thor! By The Hammer Of Zeus And The Wrecking Ball Of Thor! Black is my heart in spite of the dawn Black is my soul with fear, force and malice I bring the sun form out of the dark Rabid and sharp you'll fell the madness From my black dead world 02. Pagan Heart Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
Burning are the Angels of the black moonrise
Sons of darkness flayed alive Like a funeral star I will assail Death awaits what the Gods unveil Goddess, Enchantress Nocturnal youth bride Return in Chaos Divine... My Pagan Heart - lives for the hour My Pagan Heart - burns to devour When God will be ripped from the sky I'll be free Blinded by the arrows of a black new flame It burns alive but it will not tame Not dead but dreaming alive... In your eyes A cross is torn from the wood we prize True sons of darkness We heal by your side 3 days of visions arise Underworld imprisoned living communion Waiting for Hel to appear My Pagan Heart - lives for the moment My Pagan Heart - is healed from its torment When God will be ripped from the sky I'll be free Let there be dark! Summoning the presence in the storm of wind A throne of blood for the snake within Who is she who is she hot... ghost divine Cobra Queen of the Ancient Line Triplicate Goddess the Crossroads of night Earth Mother, Father and Child... Bleeding from a thousand wounds in the torchlight Chaos is what we appear My Pagan Heart - lives for the hour My Pagan Heart - burns to devour For I am the bull who is torn And I am the lion who's tearing Guarding the time of your death in my hands My Pagan Heart - lives for the hour My Pagan Heart - brings forth in power When God will be ripped from the sky! My Pagan Heart - lives for the answer My Pagan Heart - screams like a panther To be Free! 03. The Bread Of Wickedness Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
[SAMAEL:]
You'll never know how much I hate thee Child born of wind, Goddess born to sin I gave you life... You'll never know how much I hate thee Blast your Seven Heads, blast your Seven Hills And Twelve Horned Crown They're getting too wise They've learned to devise Send them the floor of the flame... They eat THE BREAD OF WICKEDNESS It's in their eyes, it's in their eyes God Eat the bread of wickedness It's in their eyes, it's in their eyes God Take them God Your daughters rape them Ravish them with grief How can there be peace With such as these... Harlots both disobey You! Multiply their pains! Make sex and death the same In every Eye... They've stolen Your Fire They've vanquished the dawn They've taught those To worship the moonrise Cast them in chains, release now your flame But first one more taste 'fore they drown They eat the bread of wickedness It's in their eyes, it's in their eyes God Eat the bread of wickedness It's in their eyes, it's in their eyes God 04. In A Dream Of Fire Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
[LILITH:] Oh my love...here we die...
In this Land of Brilliant Sorrow Clouds and Rain and Darkness follows A Graveside Kiss an empty Moral The Sunlight tracks The Death we swallow Will you run with me through Wild Plains Will you hunt with me with Wolves Through the Forest where the Spirits mate And the Savage Gods are born... Calling, Howling, Lightning to the One Oh we are moving far away from the Sun Or any memory of that there was ever Sun In our Black fucking Sky [ADAM:] Is there Thunder in our Heaven Is Osiris by your side Who is Jesus and our father? [LILITH:] He's a Tyrant in disguise With a rushing and a roaring Came the Terrible Sons of Mourning Feel the Beauty of my Weapons But don't let me kill your Self... Calling, Howling, Lightning to the One Oh we are moving far away from the Sun Or any memory of that there was ever Sun In our Black empty Sky... Oh lookout, lookout... Oh under Black Raven Skies??? Calling, Howling, Lightning we follow Burning down Heaven...Immortal Love, Immortal Hate, to the One Oh here we are moving far away from the Sun Or any memory of that there was ever Sun While you are drowning in the bowels of the Earth I will be rising scarred by each of my Births... Oh we are moving Blackened far from the Sun Or any memory of that there was ever Sun [GOD:] I see our Future it Burns with Moonfire Eyes Desperate Estrangement War and everyone Dies Under Black empty Skies...Yeow!Oh! [LILITH:] Under Black Raven Skies The Sun burns Black in Gardens Hollow... [ADAM:] (This Garden is dead)... [LILITH:] Seas of Chaos, Shadow Darken... [ADAM:] (Shadow lengthen) [LILITH:] Sundered from ourselves...waith... we are forsaken... 05. Nepenthe (I Live Tomorrow) Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
[LILITH:] Yea, Ah...oh...Blacken the Sunrise
Daylight it Tortures me Daylight Unknown God's Vow fades with the Sun's Pyre Cold Fires where the Flames have all gone dim Drown all your rage; I'll never come back again... ...never... A Brave Fight...Enter the Night The same Desire falls...Enter the Night I'm Haunted by your Lies...Mad Dreams The same Desire falls...Enter the Night oh...oh... I live tomorrow I can't live today Seek me in Starlight seek me in Rain that falls down over thee...oh... Strange Lights..Enter the Nights Twin Souls are Torn...Enter the Nights Wreathed in Blood where do you sleep? Lost vows... I cannot heal... I live tomorrow I won't live today Seek me in Sorrow seek me in Rain that falls down over thee I live tomorrow, I can't live today...No! Seek me in Silence seek me in Pain... ...seek me in Pain... 06. The Orpheus Taboo Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
I have dreams of fallen Gods
When darkness screams and light dissolves A Word, a Law a doomed command But not for me, my Will demands... Ghost colored rainbows appear to deceive In an act of defiance I vow to conceive Open your eyes, open alive Burned in the wind your death will be birth Open your eyes open a lie Savior within there is nothing to keep me here... I believe in what I am One part God alone and the Flesh of Immortal Man Spirit healing Nature's cries Torn from Star Winged Worlds and the breath of a Titan's soul... I am falling to the Sun, bleeding hours born of none Far beyond knowledge all thought, sight and speech Blessed with rage and defiance in every heartbeat... Open your eyes open alive Burned in the wind (but) your death will be birth Open your eyes open a lie Save your within there is nothing to keep me here... keep me here... keep me here... keep me here... One Forbidden Thing The One Forbidden Ring One Vow to break... When Lightning laughs and Death is chaste to kiss the Green World awake... Man equals God... The Age Of The Hero Is Mine... God is not apart... Divinity within and without One Forbidden Door The One Forbidden Shore One Path to take... To lift the Veil and taste the Fruit To touch the Bark while Awake I put forth my hand... I take from the Tree Fuck you I will not look back... The Age Of The Hero is mine... self create... I have dreams of fallen Gods When Laughter screams... light dissolves... Open your eyes open alive Burned in the wind your death will be birth Open your eyes open a lie Save your great sin there is nothing to keep me here... The Age Of The Hero is mine... 07. To Crown Them With Halos Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
Come to me like Water
Come to me from the depths of the Moonlight Come to me my Daughter Lay with me like the White Rose of Summer Come child, love child Night drowns in your arms... Fire, Communion the Serpent Divine These are the bonds of Glory... The Eye of the Mystic Her Flesh is the Wine these are the bonds we share Under the Sea, under the Sky Hell in the boundless Air Magick denied, Love crucified Heaven is seared where Faith resides To crown them with halos - they come and they come To crown them with fire - their Black work is done To crown them with halos - they come and they come To crown them with fire - their Black work is done in the Night Black Superstition a Cauldron of Crime These are the Scars of Glory Savage desires are bound into the Savior's Shroud Cast from the wall ravished by all Death wears a coward's face Torn from your Throne, raped to the bone Heaven is Fear disguised as Life To crown them with halos - they come and they come To crown them with fire - their Black work is done To crown them with halos - they come and they come To crown them with fire - their Black work is done in the Night? Walk through the fire yearning for all your life Pain never ending, Heaven is breathing Fire Proud Rebel Angel at War with a future Saint Blaze like a Beacon for all of us here in Hell... oh, my Lyzebel... Angel of Fire They're burning your tears alive Where is thy God? Thorns for your marriage bed... Counterfeit Myths, Blood from a Kiss Heaven is Fear disguised as Life They Thunder the Music of Hatred they worship the Song of the Nails They delight in the sound of disaster, the blood, the lies and the wails... Their passage has no true fixed center all their horizons default to a line Their God is incensed, his anger unquenched His cruelty is truly Divine... Come to me like Water Come to me with the death of the Moonlight Come to me my Daughter Lay with me in the ashes of summer Run child, blood child, with shrouds for your charms... To crown them with halos - they come and they come To crown them with fire - their Black work is done To crown them with halos - they come and they come To crown them with fire - their Black work is done in the Night 08. The Black Light Bacchanalia (The Age That Is To Come) Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
Green fires glow in a Sepulchral Sky
Summoning Hell with the blink of an eye Cast into bondage a Devil will drive The Spirit of Evil Eternally thrives 13 incisions with plague burning Black A casket of wet chilled air Slashing the Skies and plundering Dark An Ocean of Blood filled Prayer Unending Fire and unending might Melting the Life from the Dawn Raising a Hell where your Heaven had been A stain in the Heart of the Rose For The Age That Is To Come... Vampire mist here the Moon driven cry Chained to the rack - Heaven moans & dies Heretic gospels the maimed reply Dead voices whisper the word defy Night Ravens call Century's wound A Crescent of Star Crossed Fear Brimstone revisions of house the quick Blood & a Cross to bear Unending Fire and unending might Melting the Life from the Dawn Raising a Hell where your Heaven had been A stain in the Heart of the Rose For The Age That Is To Come... For The Age That Is To Come... For The Age That Is To Come... Green fires glow in a Sepulchral Sky Thundering Visions of Hell arrive Cold liquid bells summon lies A City of the Damned cries A frenzy of feeding, the judgment of sharks The Spire, the Gallows, the Wheel Ravage their bodies to savor their souls An Orphan of Death's Despair Unending Fire and unending might Melting the Life from the Dawn Raising a Hell where your Heaven had been A stain in the Heart of the Rose For The Age That Is To Come... For The Age That Is To Come... For The Age That Is To Come... 09. The Torture's Of The Damned Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
[ADAM:] I walk...I ride...
Through Streets of Genocide My Words drip Blood Like Savage Mist is Love No choice...no home Black Thoughts like Rivers run What Death what grief Whose voice can slay belief... What Hope what care In a world beyond repair... To Praise what Truth Who's Flag to now Salute... What God is this... Whose people are so dismissed... No sigh, no tear... Black Sunset Kiss of Fear... The Walls remain The Flesh defies the Brain... Speak not of Peace Devour the Well of Grief... And run like Stone Embrace your Death alone tonight... ...oh this Night... What Ancient lie can let my People Die... I will tear... ...your Fucking Kingdom from the Sky! 10. Necropolis (He Answers Them With Death) Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
Seek them on each mountain range
On every hill...under each tree Tear down their pillars and shrines Burn every thing leave none alive... Run thru the city and kill everyone inside - (I hear your voice) Put to the sword all the young and the old alike - (I hear your voice) Shatter their temples their idols of gold Light up the Darkness with Crosses of Souls When she says, ...Father am I not your own...? And he says, ...Father what's it like upon your throne...? He answers them with death - Black Winter on their eyes He answers them with death - Great Liar of the Skies He Answers them... Murder and torture 'til even the sunlight cries Burn them to ashes and don't let their Spirits rise Uncrown their Kings make their virgins your slaves Rape their Moon Goddess let no one be saved When she says, ...Father open up your soul... And he says, ...Father what's it like to be so cold...? He answers them with death - Black Winter on their eyes He answers them with death - Great Liar of the Skies... He answers them with death - Stacked victims brutalized He answers them with death - Great Tyrant of the skies... Oh no, I'll not forsake my name To live in the bonds of unreason and suffer each day... Only to die stillborn... Out Father who's surely not in Heaven Unhallowed be all thy Names (No...) Thy Kingdom will not come (I'll offer fires high) Thy Will...will not be done Not on this Earth, not in any Heaven... Forever and Ever...Ahhh...Womb men... Eat the dust all the days of your life... ...crawl on your belly... Enmity between your seeds bruising the head and heel Man return to the Dust from which you are made The Dust is the Earth, is the Mother... ...so they return to Her...not the Father... Our Father what truth's have you been told, What truth's do you uphold, What fear have you been sold? Ahhh...the Dust is the Earth, the Earth is the Mother... So we return to Her...not the Father... I'm never gonna leave... the Silence so loud... Are we not your Children are we not Divine? Are all forms not One in your infertile mind? When she says, ...Father can I come back home...? And he says, ...Father...what's beyond your great unknown...? Death! - Black Winter on their eyes... He answers them with death - Great Liar of the Skies... He answers them with death - Stacked victims brutalized He answers them with death - Great Liar of the skies... Cold rays stream from the Heaverns Bold screams her Name from our green tomb Gold Queen grant us salvation Old Themes reborn forever... Victims of deep Mountain rage I will not fail, I will Defeat...! 11. Eternal Regret Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
[GOD:] Count the red lights on the highway
Thunder in your ear Is there something moving in my way Beyond the Gates Of Fear... Entombed to praise the Dark Exhumed to blackened stares Is there anyone to answer? Is it still remembered here...? Bonedust and leaves blow in the wind You laugh but never smile in my mind On this Dark fated day I can feel you far away Oh give me back the Night that I have wronged... Soon this Dust will cease to sing! How does the Day still Dawn When my empty Nighttimes roar Hours of endless weeping But I know you can't be freed Through the Dust of Hell I call you But you'll never answer me If the Ending is not of Brass I feel you in the Cold Your Eyes of Moonlit Fire Burn Haunted Winter Groves I remember your Last Days here Despair is in my Soul with every Star I'm breaking!!! What have I done... my Children What have I done? Where have you gone... my Wild Lover Where have you gone? Scattered into space... Desire blames desire And Hatred Storms with Love Shattered by the flesh I aspire to... ...it crumbles into dust... Bonedust and tears assault my eyes You laugh but never smile within my mind No Wine can drown all these hated memories Oh give me back the Goddess I have wronged... I'm watching from the Sky With Eyes the truth burned blind Are you happy now I'm wrong? I can feel it when you lie Is there any answer oh... ...for all the pain that's gone before? Is there still a red Rose in your Heaven Is it still remembered in your World Did the Heavens open wide On the Day that you died... Where have you gone...oh...where have you gone... When will you know... Where have you gone... Never to return... Never...everything's faded...return... You're lost now...screams in a kiss... Who speaks of you and I... in a World of Pain & Mist ...when the Soul screams in a kiss... I still...I still see you...I die... There's still a Face like a Flame in my Heart...Haunt your Headstone... Haunted, haunted we die...in shame... 7 Devils Haunt...shattered by Life... Black Roses Haunt your Headstone 7 Devils Haunt your Headstone... ...for your Grave... 12. When I'm Silent (The Wind Of Voices) Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
Oh...beyond all words...
And when you rape me don't ask me what's wrong And when you Burn my World I won't make a sound Breathe in the Silence and find yourself alone To take the Lie and make it Gold To feed the Fire as it Burns your Soul You can't recover the Life you've had before Take my Hand we'll be as One We'll come together in our shared pain For There will be nothing but an empty face When we're Silent... Silent Cold and Dead... The Wind of Voices Haunts our Tomb This Hate is Your Child alone in this Room The Claws of Green Fate anoint your bitter tears To take the knife and stab your dreams To cauterize remorseless screams You'll remember thins you might have done Take my Hand we'll be as One Run forever from the Sunrise There will be nothing but an empty face When we're Silent, Lord I'm Violent, Soul Divided... run the other way, run the other way... Every living thing recalls your name Every living thing reflects your shame Say the Word...say the Words... And bleed yourself now, you bleed for yourself After the Rain ascends now... I call your name, call your Name, I call your Name, call your Name...over and over... Take my Hand we'll be as One Run forever in the Darkness They'll be nothing but an empty face In the Silence, Lord I'm Violent, Soul Divided... run the other way... Take my Hand we'll be as One Run forever through the Darkness They'll be nothing but an empty face When we're Silent, Silent Cold and Dead... Oh Dead... Cold & Dead... Beyond all Hope, beyond all Fear... Every little bitter breath, every little bitter vreath... The Face inside the Star... 13. Silent Sorrow Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
She walks in the Garden...
Sunlight, Golden Face... Treading the Air so Lovely... What do I think, what do I see Angels weaving Golden Webs Entwined in Shrouded Mist Across the Cold Moors at Dawn... Spreading here and there and there...and there... (She says) - Oh I am Beautiful Ancient Elegance yet such a Child Oh I'm fanciful I only hear the Music... ohhh... in my head... What do I feel, what do I think The Skies are Cold And there is no hope for the future...no Look into my eyes the melting of our gaze turns up empty... And lips that part to speak make sounds too hard to reach... I want the words to reach you still You want to touch the Light upon the hill You want to feel the things I feel But the Hour's late and the time isn't now So we'll part in Silence in the Cold And hope the time will come when the story will unfold... We'll part in silence in the cold And tears will flow as foretold We'll part in silence in the cold A fleeting kiss that dies before it's old From lips that speak to ears that can't comprehend the love the heart can send... The love the heart can send... |
