I've chosen the dark, I've chosen the night
I've lost hope of loving a day of life The shades of night belong to me I am at one with hell Dead inside, I watch the time pass I await the coming of my day My journeys are always within me There where is found the bottomless pit Where, there in I plunge, always a little deeper There, in that other world where only unity is harmony Sheltered from the regard and the rules of men There colour is absent, light is black Enemies of the sun, the phantoms of the shadows Have taught me to delight in horror Faces without eyes, and silent lips Float in the immensity of empty space A sweet melancholy fills my heart Life as a whole seems absurd Silence is so pure, so profound that it intoxicates The emptiness, annihilates all And nothingness takes it place 02. Celebration Of The Fourth
Oh purificator fire, that burns in me
Rekindle my courage, give me your force Blow, northerly wind, come, wind of death Storms, hurricanes, be at my side By water, by air, by fire, by earth Oh purificator water, essence of life Mirror of time, drown the lies Earth, mother's man Disembowelled by your sons From your blood of fire Will rise the chaos By water, by air By fire, by earth 03. Son Of Earth
Hideous louse!
The face deformed by horror, By the fear of life's duties, By the anguish of the unknown Born in blood and tears You'll bleed and cry when the day you die Welcome to the world of the living Here's your supreme punishment Look at the wound of life That only death will be able to heal Oh! Bulged tummy women Oh! Deformed body women From your filthy womb It's death to whom you give birth Hideous louse! The face deformed by horror, By the fear of the nothingness of death By the anguish of the unknown Welcome to the kingdom of the dead Here's your promised reward Looks on you to close again The great vagina of the earth 04. Til We Meet Again
To those whom I miss,
And to those who would miss me Life is short, but long in the living Going forth on the uncertain paths of the future Seeking an outlet, a path, in vein There where that tunnel so familiar And that wall banishing the light Stifling forever the hope of better day Curs'd be she who gave me birth Prisoner of life, I await my deliverance I am weary of the struggle for chimeras Of sensing the weight of time, past and future I began my descent as from that first day This night shall be mine, that of the great leap There will be a war, a key, a door Faced with the dilemma of the cord Short are the paths which lead to the tomb Drunk with eternity I topple the chair beneath my feet The phobia of the infinite is speedily replaced by darkness This profound and absolute darkness Which I have dreamed of for so long 05. The Mask Of The Red Death
Sickness born with life
She is careful and patient shadow Man's faithful enemy Unceasingly transformed, rebaptized Behind a different mask I know it's always the same face, Always the same eyes greedy for agony Always the same compassionate ears Listening to our moans, To our heartbeats Passive and disinterested Like an infidel wife This cold and wet mouth Will give us the very last kiss Death is red For those who experience her torments Bound to death like a daughter to her mother She gives her mass graves overflowing Of sketched life, of projects and hopes What's good to see her so active Abandoned, in the arms of another plague Humanity slowly disappears Someone prays, some others cry What's good to see her so active 06. Baphomet's Throne
Each blaspemy is another stone to the edifice of your glory
I want to be the rock on which you'll build your church Am I the son you've been waiting for? Am I the chosen one? To be your messiah on earth And to sit at your left in hell I've always ignored the doubt Answers are in the questions Show me the way to the Baphomet's throne... Guide my hand, light my path My mouth will speak with your words, I'll make statements with your orders I'll be the supreme insult Which will forevermore soil the image of god I'll be your revenge, I'll be your victory Guide my hand, light my path Show me the way, To reach one day the Baphomet's throne... 07. Flagellation
Pleasure in pain
Desire of mortification To achieve the extreme To know the ultimate To be a slave for a moment The body offered up to cruelty To the lash which whips on the skin Which slashes the flesh, lacerates the back To feel the blood, thick and warm Flow over my wounds Flagellation... To thrust aside the limits To say "Yes" to death Without fear, without remorse To give up oneself to torture Punishment and reward The whip is ambiguous It distills vice In a perverse refinement To be a slave for a moment The body offered up to cruelty To the lash which whips on the skin Which slashes the flesh, lacerates the back 08. Crown
If eyes are the mirror of the soul
You will find in mine the scorn and apathy You will read my hatred as in a curs'd book You will see yourself as I see you It is a mirror sombre and opaque Which protects me, which stifles me A great ditch around the heart Which rejects, which estranges me There is a world in my head A dead world where nothing lives And it is there I am, too far, Far too far to be rejoined A crown of thorns is still a crown I am a king in a kingdom of suffering I have taken my time to reach this stage I have taken pains to torture myself To descend, to descend Into pain, I exist And if my brain is numbed The thorn in my flesh Can overcome apathy There is glory in humiliation A throne to be taken, a crown to win I have no more tears, And my smile has lost its brilliance I have forgotten who I was, I have killed my emotions Crushed, empty, weary, Always standing, I am a tree Awaiting the lightning 09. To Our Martyrs
Reign of fear, of war,
Of silence, of resignation Under the rules of the book of lies Trawling the wrong path Led like cattle Never try to understand, accept, obey Follow followers And forget who you are What's a lifestyle, to live for others To share all with everybody To answer love to hate Never try to understand, accept, obey Follow followers And forget who you are Take each single insult and injury As a present, as a spiritual gold To by your place in heaven I spit at your god's face I piss on the cross I vomit on the holy bible I shit on the blessed whore and her bastard son I desecrate, crush and destroy All which is sacred, all which is blessed I've found the one who lives in me Brothers and sisters Time for change is coming Bells for revenge strike the end of times By faith, by force We'll walk toward the light And forever be our own god 10. Ceremony Of Opposites
The top becomes the bottom
The fantasy becomes reality The conceptions change The landmarks dissolve And all becomes intermingled To flirt with the despicable In a trance without end Where the ice burns Like glowing embers And where one shatters By fits and starts of sperm The morale of men Serve another god Lose another dream Sentiments imprison and leave Their victims without defence Love is a poison which Flourishes in the heart of the weak From the lower world we direct The attraction of the distasteful Makes us ignore the vile Since only from below Can one better see the heights |
