I sing desolation
|
On the breath of centuries
|
Bringing annihilation
|
Slaughter courses through my enemies
|
|
I was not always so cold
|
Once upon a crime in times of favour
|
I had lived a God amongst the bold
|
Like a true poetic saviour
|
|
But my people were dissolved
|
By the flames of righteous strangers
|
My name blackened ten thousandfold
|
Death grew to know me...
|
|
As the abhorrent
|
|
Stricken from the light
|
As dividing curses poured
|
I was hiding in the thickening mire
|
Biding for my war
|
|
I'm climbing up the years to get you
|
From a dark abyssic scheme
|
Lovecraftian, part-Martian
|
To be the beast I used to be
|
|
My laureates of gold are sold
|
Horns spear the reddened sea
|
And by my transformed hand
|
Be sure
|
The Heavens hear your final screams
|
|
Tonight this world is burning
|
To a fulsome serenade
|
Arch nemesis, I'm the genesis
|
Of a raging plague about to break
|
|
Blue eyes rolled headlong to black
|
When the darkness drew me to her caresses
|
|
I was not always so co cold
|
Once upon a crime in times of old
|
|
I had lived a God amongst the folds
|
Of creeping epic failure
|
|
But my people were dissolved
|
By the flames of righteous strangers
|
My name blackened and deeds annulled
|
They grew to know me...
|
|
As the abhorrent
|
|
I'm a cemetery and a garden
|
Ripe with near-putrefied life
|
A phallus beginning to harden
|
On the philosophy of a prurient knife
|
|
I hear the dead begin to cry
|
Hostis Humanis Generis
|
My favorite leaden lullaby
|
|
On sacred eves I've asked for sacrifice
|
Mere moments of atonement
|
For your despise
|
A stern believer
|
That the great deceiver
|
Is your precious God
|
Whose preachers saw me demonised
|
|
Now, the sun it sets
|
On your nascent best of days
|
|
Time to rise
|
Gorgon, Calibos and Cane
|
Titans unrepentant
|
Lord Lucifer insane
|
|
If I am the Devil
|
I shall honour my spiteful name
|
|
Tonight this world is burning
|
To a fulsome serenade
|
Arch nemesis, the rest of this
|
Destructive wickedness is on its way
|
