"Per mi si va ne la citta dolente
Per me si va ne l'etterno dolore Per me si va tra la perduta gente." Threatening and cold A poem for the underworld Where shadows walk Beyond redemption Dante's Inferno Dante's Inferno Minos wraps his serpent Tail around himself To mark a sinner's level His prison cell. The famous poet Dante Is passing through the gates The only living being In this accursed place Threatening and cold A poem for the underworld Where shadows walk Beyond redemption Dante's Inferno Dante's Inferno The greedy pay the price Their wealth is cursed The wrathful fight each other Covered with slimy mud The flames are burning heretics And for the violent ones Red blood is boiling As thieves will turn to vipers And vipers will turn to thieves Ninth, the lower plain. Who could ever guess? It is a frozen lake! An angel in his past, a fallen one Right on the spot he crashed For aeons is lying down 02. 3rd Testament (Codex Omega)
A human has written all books
A human mind has thought of the "proof" To rule the earth, he had to ascend To rule his peers, their will he had to bend Bibles are portraying a world in black and white We invented the devil, so the devil is man! If Satan was the father and Antichrist the son Lilith was the mother and Lucifer the spirit of light Reversed is the 3rd Testament The 3rd Testament The 3rd Testament A phantom god guarding your salvation He lives in books, your imagination An abstract thought, lord of all creation An absent king, the final revelation If Satan was the father and Antichrist the son Lilith was the mother and Lucifer the spirit of light Codex Omega 03. Portrait Of A Headless Man
In a world controlled by fire
In a world controlled by fire Psychotic preachers thrive They use the waves to bind us They use the screens to blind us I joined headless forces They told us what to do We worked, we fought, we bled A cogwheel in the system A ghost in the machine In my private thoughts Only pain felt real Cry! I am crying, in the portrait Of a headless man Laugh! I am laughing, in the portrait Of a headless man I am a man with strong regrets I followed great deceivers Believe in headless leaders They played their game, true sons of Cain But I was a hopeless dreamer With my head deep in the clouds More joined the fiery leaders And blood was shed in rivers Those without a mind had to pick our side With the use of fearsome methods One more empty frame ready for display On a gallery of headless portraits Cry! I am crying, in the portrait Of a headless man Laugh! I am laughing, in the portrait Of a headless man 04. Martyr
Your books, your friends, your life is in mortal danger
The things are tense and knowledge is offense In this nation vast deception reigns Church and politics threaten your survival A strife has grown between faith and wisdom You chose to stand for the exalted ego Your creation, a creation maimed Blame the vultures for their vile way The mob: "Run Devil's seed! You will face the wrath of god Run Devil's seed! You will face the wrath of god Run Devil's seed!" You will face the wrath of god The highest price you'll pay You will face the wrath of god The highest price you'll pay Martyr Unyielding force of thought and spirit Martyr Unyielding force of thought and spirit Your essence remained Your work, your life, your books Unyielding force of thought and spirit, shine! 05. Enemy Of Truth
The silent borderland
Where words become undone Brainwave, treachery A different truth to see To keep a secret Misinformation is the key Twenty first century New ways of slavery So many prying eyes Communication spies Ghosts are fighting for the cause With poisoned words Half truths, false proofs The trap is set to snare the wolf The enemy of truth Fight the enemy of truth Fight the enemy of truth Sense destroyer Sense destroyer Sense destroyer Sense destroyer Mental surgery Social lobotomy Confusion, delusion We all connect and share The perfect way for lies to spread Fight the enemy of truth Fight the enemy of truth 06. Dark Art
Blessed be the night, the architect of all creation
Her wings are wide and strong and black She is bleeding light, stars form a congregation She is the force, our soul and fire Blind lead the blind Another day The sun is lost Nocturnal cities Secrets lie buried in the sand To craft the dark art we used our soul Emotions bleed, but we stay strong Disciples of the dark art To craft the dark art, we used our soul Emotions bleed, but we stay strong Darkness binds the world! Save me! Another day The sun is lost Save me, strong wind Strong and bitter and cold and old 07. Our Church, Below The Sea
Gothic walls below the sea
Corals rising high A building is standing tall Fearful, yet majestic Surface dwellers never come Yet it haunts their dreams Tales about Atlantis come to mind When the waters kiss The mouth of madness And the sea is chanting Horrid fish come as guardians For our church Our church, below Hail! Cthulhu lives He escaped the abyss Hail! Cthulhu dreams Of his house in the deep Hail! Cthulhu lives He escaped the abyss Placed upon the ocean's floor On the abyssal zone Sunlight cannot get down here And freezing currents flow Rusting chandeliers Are hanging from above Chthonian priests Are praying to elder gods When the waters kiss The mouth of madness And the sea is chanting Horrid fish come as guardians For our church Our church, below the sea Hail! Cthulhu lives He escaped the abyss Hail! Cthulhu dreams Of his house in the deep When the waters kiss The mouth of madness And the sea is chanting Horrid fish come as guardians For our church Our church, below the sea 08. Faceless Queen
Always so distant
Hiding from the sun He is looking around her To find where she is not The archway of heaven The saints of the earth Old parts from her broken ribs Now she is enthroned On the spaceless void She is breathing fire as a dragon And we all feel the heat Her touch is soft as the wind Faceless queen A mask your only skin Faceless queen Faceless queen Can you remove Your mask of skin? She is enigma A canvas without frame Worshiped as goddess By the toys she made from clay Behold the faceless queen Behold the faceless queen Her realm extends to the endless sea And she rules from the spaceless void She is breathing fire as a dragon And we all feel the heat Her touch is soft as the wind Faceless queen A mask your only skin Faceless queen Faceless queen Can you remove Your mask of skin? The serpent with the golden crown Faceless staring at the sun The serpent sits upon its throne Faceless staring at the sun Always so distant Hiding from the sun He is looking around her To find where she is not Behold the Faceless Queen Behold the Faceless Queen 09. The Gospels Of Fear
Your future life can be at stake
From good to worse Make no mistake One moment here, the next one gone The seed of terror soon will grow We learn to live with fear each day It has to be another way As moments fly, the things we want will be obtained Or maybe not ACTH, epinephrine Are flowing through the bloodstream The fear of failure The fear of death The fear of loss The gospels of fear Embrace fear A grim companion is always there His vicious thoughts are hard to bear In every mind, in every soul he gains control He offers help but in exchange you have to step inside the cage Dare not to question the things you'll see All kind of horrors you will perceive Toxic thoughts come to thee Vicious mouths eating thee The gospels of fear Embrace your fear 10. Trinity
I am the abyss
I am the way The secret door to a hidden cave A different place to the garden of fools You can enter here, if your steps will lead you to Thoughts are sailing fast, like ships into a storm Dreams are fading; they are heading to a point of no return You can call me Trinity, as three divide the whole One third of me, is what you see A mirror is my astral door Trinity Remember what you always have been Trinity The one that is three Trinity The one possessed by three |
