How high the Sun
For the Lovers, for the Moon For the Hanged Man For the Fool Tread gently with your dancing feet Over past men in righteous sleep The princes pale the life that failed Poisoned they too once had their day Dance over the graves And scream for solace out of day With grimoire, syringe, a mind unhinged Oh come what ever may Watching the world Pass us slowly by A corpse into quicklime Black beneath your eyes Hey Life fades away How high the Sun For the Devil, for the World For the Temperance The Death's dance In garden green the worm and fiend Weave beautiful each our dream Eat at the timbers of sanity And then we wake up into Dance over the graves And scream for solace out of day With grimoire, syringe, a mind unhinged Oh come what ever may Watching the world Pass us slowly by A corpse into quicklime Black beneath your eyes Swords to sever limb Wands to grind the bone Cups to drain the blood Coins to shut the eyes Life fades away Dance over the graves Come what ever may 02. Hell Abloom Music by Babylon Whores Lyrics by Litmanen / Vil
She would lie upon the bed and stare into the wall
Where the shadows flicker and they beckon and they crawl Cloakina's children grown in bottles in the dark Seen and heard by the heresiarch Boiling in fumes pregnant of black gold's sweet perfume Noxious the flowers by the light of the moon Some play with poison And some kill themselves in love And turn to heavens Then to demons Or just nothing at all Roses are red violets are blue / Lilies pale as death The flowers of evil / Bloom for you Ashes we'll be both you and me Ashes we'll be so let us burn Just properly The city sleeps and dreams in neon tinted urine streams Oh chime the night and all the things that dark redeems There is not a place tonight on earth I'd rather be Both feet in the hell abloom in the night around you and me And down fell the stars that no one made a wish upon Down like the star of the morning proud Babylon Some play with poison And some kill themselves in love And turn to heavens, then to demons Or just nothing at all Roses are red violets are blue / Lilies pale as death The flowers of evil / Bloom for you As we are now so will we be Once tasted of the ecstasy Of being free In hell abloom Roses are red violets are blue / Lilies pale as death The flowers of evil / Bloom for you As we are now so must we be Once tasted of the infamy We're never free In hell abloom 03. Mother Of Serpents Music by Babylon Whores Lyrics by Vil
Oh do not wish for a thing
'lest the gods punish you with it all The things you're looking for you'll never find In this life For all the auguries vague Oracles drunk with a sulphur spring Still sought the three-faced Hecate Cursing holes On moonless nights For what is more Forever or never more Never or forevermore Seek not the glories of the world The fleeting beauty of things soon gone The flowers of the meadow that spiders suck Black as disease Don't look for coins in the ground Don't turn the roadside carcasses And don't you loaf too long on a crossroads On moonless nights This for good kings of Argos This for their gold and silk Opium, honey and milk Up on the navel of the world Beneath the Mother of Serpents The fear of life Burn our future sibylline In the fires of a Roman dream Where do we go Mother of serpents I don't want to know The night and Erebus proclaimed And threefold Hecate of hundred names Who minds or who revenges injured love On moonless nights Oh don't eat the yellow snow And don't you never give all thy heart Don't believe the voices of the dead On moonless nights This for a coin from the ground This for what's already mine Never ever look behind 04. Lucibel (The Good Spirits Of Europe) Music by Babylon Whores Lyrics by Litmanen / Vil
Deep flows the stream
Beneath the hills of Occident Dark as blood running through ages dim From beginning 'til the end In caves and grottoes spied Renounced, revered and scryed By men with dolch and bell Roma, Amor; the ill and well For good spirits of the Europe Men come with staff and scepter alike With Tafur hordes, on horses high Paint the Devil on the wall Paint it black and paint it tall But as Montsegur endures There will be your light Oh Lucibel And when we shall burn alive With sulphur crowns shoot up the sky Then we shall be your light Oh Lucibel Pale is the horse Upon which sits merciful fate Crimson the hooves To trample fools beneath its gait Heretics and warlocks Their vernal equinox Gods suffered not by Rome Gods men know not Gods men forgot For good spirits of Europe Men come with cudgel and claymore alike With Tafur hordes, on horses high And it's not the life that's given But the death that's taken When all that we're worth is vanguished Damned and undone The goods spirits of Europe Stand with Abraxas behind the sun We'll burn in your fire, Lucibel Burn through the night, Lucibel Burn as the sun, Lucibel 05.

On the first of May
Toads grow fat on stolen Hosts In little boxes crucified Bled and divined When all the girls Suckle beasts within their arms Pact-bound familiars Spill their guts on secrets spied On Midsummer's night All true love is undisguised In piltres foul by lasses cowled Brewed and derived Some fat of an unbaptized babe A finger of a corpse Dug up from the grave Dating with Witchcraft And come the Fall When the fires light the night Summer's love grown old and sad Will die away On Samhain's eve Blood of swine will wash them clean From the memories good and bad The spells of May And for those still in dream Summer's green eternally Stolen away by the Sidhe Noone knows they've ever been A tongue of a snake The head of a dog Ground mummy's powder Piss and snot Dating with Witchcraft 06.

Kings adored, abhorred
Apple, crown and sword Lions green and red By fire killed and wed One more day you'll see Master good John Dee Wisdom's granted me To live eternally And shining the apparition On the western window smiles On our Golden Lane The Powder Tower that knows No night from a day Death in Prague The bell tolls on the square The twelve apostols' snare St Vitus' sun wheels Look down on broken seals And as wheel obeys the sun Abide Europa's son If dying is the answer Then dying be done And golden turned his face Under torches and death runes Like all glories short For those who stand too tall In black, in Prague Death in Prague I'll give you eyes of blue and hair like gold of sun A mind to see beyond the light of life undone I'll give your blood so pure as it runs right through your hands Your Stone to pain you when you're old you'll understand I'll give you letters five to wear above your eyes The wisdom of the ages sought by men all-wise I'll give you a forehead to scream death of living god I'll give you life I'll give you death Death in Prague 07. A Pale Horse Against Time Music by Babylon Whores Lyrics by Litmanen / Vil
One smile for love, one smile for hate
And one for both in ecstacy One out of, on in our time One smile for pleasure, one for pain And one for both in Satori One above, one against the time Never on nobody's side Take two lines and make cross A snare for light and time Crucified between two thieves Sun of the evening lands And hushed they spoke of a white horse Upon the horse a rider A dance for creation, one for destruction And one for both in ecstacy One out of, one in our time One for remembrance, one for oblivion And one for both in Satori One above, one against the time Caught between the lines Out of love for the other world Iron and sadness our machines Built the Golden House For rabbits turtles to chase They say there is a white horse Upon the horse a rider With the rider a sword By the sword the judgement "Out of the loss of memory The loss of understanding Out of the loss of understanding All evil" Kali Yuga Kalki Avatar They say there is a white horse Upon the horse a rider With the rider a sword By the sword the judgement A Pale Horse against time |
