|
De profundis mors advocat! |
|
The pact is sealed, crystallised |
|
Dark are the paths without return |
|
Ash and blood colour my world |
|
Ever downward winding steps spiraling to the utmost depths |
|
Where the sun is but a memory of a murdered dream |
|
As if emerged from the Abyss |
|
Evoked by his own tongue |
|
Antichrist, Devil's child |
|
Possessed by the night |
|
Through will unfettered in darkness |
|
Death was granted life |
|
The blind man was given sight |
|
And the fivefold star to shine forevermore |
|
As a flame within the heart |
|
Restlessly beckoning through |
|
The guilt and vanity of a world deaf to it's call |
|
To dare what's lit sole by the friar's lantern |
|
Through labyrinths so desolate and dark |
|
To travel far in solitude and silence |
|
'cross thornclad deserts vast |
|
To witness the erection of a temple |
|
At the place where order dies and chaos unfold |
|
It's tower shall lean out over the precipice |
|
Oh the wonder's those that mount it shall behold |
|
For there the waves of Absu smash the rocks of definition |
|
And feast upon them with erosive force |
|
Yes there the ancient giants of primordial waters |
|
Are hunting in the twilight near the shores |
|
And I am their son, my ribcage the shrine, my flesh the prison |
|
For my blood is their blood, my will is theirs |
|
Mine is the gift that shall conquer all fears |
|
See my glowing eyes reflect a heart that burns |
|
That in turn reflects the chasm for which it yearns |
|
He shall return to the Abyss |
|
Heeding his masters call |
|
Antichrist, Devil's child |
|
At one with the night |
|
Wordless without form in deepest depths, |
|
Yet most besung, most present and most high |
|
Thou wellspring from which horror's holy flow |
|
Through gates wide open |
|
Thou who placed these words of praise upon my lips |
|
The infant's cry and the rapist's sigh of joy |
|
The world has gone blurred but the road gets |
|
Ever clearer in search of thy burning kingdom |
