Tracks



01. Ma'aseh Bereshit

Through strongest of faiths and most malignant will
Profane stigma formeth on skin
Flesh unto light, light unto flesh
The end of all life will come through me
Beyond the skin, beyond the flesh
Through the temple runeth the bliss of death
But a carrion, a prideless worm
Yet through its blood salvation shall be born
Within the heart of each man that desireth death
Ringeth a psalm for His way upon Earth
Let all flesh hear: salvation in all nations
Black light of redemption shall shine upon the ashes
Like burning brimstone from heavens up high holy
Poison dropeth from torn wrists
Supreme inversion of substance purpose
Lashed and tormented to His image and likeness

For our will shall be a razor and our tongue a sharp sword

Ma'aseh bereshit
The sin divine most grave
The true name of Yahweh, spoken a thousand times
Venomous blood staineth the life's tree roots and
Crawling through spheres poisoneth its fruit

02. Altered States Of Divinity

My flesh and my heart have fainted away
And I became a blaze, a reflection of the void
Locked within the maze of serpent scales
His light shall gently scorch the earth

The tongues we speak are of the dead
And what dwells in us is not humane
Oh, divine flame, leading existence
Towards endless enthropy, Chaos

Let the Lord be in our hearts and on our lips
Within the luscious saliva we spit into open mouths
May the words of the gospel wipe away the stars
And may their years be counted, to nothing

Let's sing to God! Let's sing to our king
Because God is king of the earth, let's sing
Because he is God himself, our God
The Lord shall save me

Infect through me! Ruin through me
Burn my lungs with the praise, tear my mouth with the name
Bleed me! And shall my blood drain the world to ashes
With each single drop dissolving the bonds of creation

It looks all new seen through undead eyes
With earthborn flesh pulsating with its light

May the words of the gospel wipe away our kin
And may their years be counted to nothing
All you, earthborn! All you, sons of men
Through your bloodveins shall flow the praise

Dominus salvabit me.

03. Through The Eyes Of The Blind

Brethren
Shall your loving hands strangle each other's throat
In praise of chaos, blossoming pukeridden flowers of doubt
Let the hatred take over all what was said and thought
To erase logic and reason and turn the consciousness down

Cut your skin and it shall bleed ambrosia
For to him that knocketh it shall be opened
Break your bones to find manna inside
For every one that asketh receiveth
Tear your eyes out and behold the Vision
For he that seeketh findeth

A thousand shapes, a thousand names
A thousand shadows cast by a thousand flames
Through the ears of the deaf, through the eyes of the blind
Through the mouth of the mute we shall sing these psalms

We bring you these gifts, o Serpent
Through the ears of the deaf, through the eyes of the blind
And through the mouth of the mute
Through all of what the seed of death has already been planted in

04. Beyond The Veil

The laughter of angels is in the continuous litany of
The agonized newborn, perished in humiliation, torture and abuse

For they all shine with glimpses of salvation to come

The never-ending humane thirst for iniquity is being
Quenched with words and images of dignity of its own kind raped

For they all shine with glimpses of salvation to come

05. Prism

Who are you?

Bless this teeth, bless these nails
Raping and tearing the hopes of man
Bless this mouth, bless this tongue
Poisoning the world with seed you've sown

A putrid worm in every crust, an empty word, an aimless path
The broken bonds, the traces lost, rotten seeds of corruptor
The Lord our God

Rejoice, ye faithful
For all is in vain, a new sun is shining, the prism hath failed
Warped are the patterns and converged is the light
That shall burn my eyes with miracles to be seen

And shall this light turn thine children to ash
Make my flesh a crystal, shining with its rays
Infection shall grow with each and every word, until life continues
To replace it with void

06. Nihilation

I carve these psalms deep into my flesh
I sing the song of nihilation
Send forth thy light, send forth thy truth
Infected deathseed
I will not fear what own flesh can do against me

Scar by scar, wound by wound, sanctify, stigmatize
Enshrine twisted flesh into sigils five
Open the seals and set the Devil free

In black delight I open my skin
Spilling pestilent unlight
The deathseed shines so bright
And the shadow of reason is scattered

Through burning seals in warm pulp of life
The wretched will of Yhvh is broken
An angel would fall to perceive its glance
How can a man rise to touch the divine?
Infected deathseed, genesis nihilated
Existence perished, the Word erased

07. Kerigma

Baptized in streams of rotting blood
I reject all life that was given unto me
I close the gates, every one of the Ten
Breaking the keys, infecting the potential
Divine presence, extinguish the world
Lock the time and fold the space

The odour of decay is like a scent of lavender
The all-consuming flames are as warmth of womb

Let no particle prevail, no single bond
All shall return to Nothingness divine

A new age is dawning, and it shall come to pass
As all that was and is to come
Blow the trumpets of desolation
For he that is dead is free from sin

For all who bathe in bloodstained deceit
For all who betray the urge to last
The matter shall again loosen unto a single point
A candle to be blown out by the breath of Satan

The quote at the end of the song is actually from the movie Equilibrium,
Although some parts are cut, here is the full scene

Sir, without the logic of process, is it not just mayhem -
What we have worked so hard to eradicate?
You must understand, Preston, that while you - and even I -
May not always agree with it, it is not the message that is important,
It is our obedience to it. Father's will Call it faith. You have it, I assume?
