The Black Angel Thwarted on all sides atop a steed fast it rides Drinking from a chalice that drips poison Nor would it weep with the trumpets out of heaven It is crawling from a hole in Palestine All your weapon’s majesty, thrashed upon the dunes Will rent asunder Galilee again Worlds will collide, Hail Mary’s will subside And the priests cry blood at my confession Black Angel plucks the beard of he, the holy man Into the labyrinth he is cast Penance leads to naught whilst revenge, what treats it brings The payment for a callow monk that kills Heaven in which father holy our A thousand years: the solitude is done The fevers and locusts will seem like a carnival As the foulest one as ring master sings The Black Angel Roll the dice incessantly with snake eyes every throw By the lantern see the cloaken ghost appear Gambling away the being that I was called to be The angel spreads those wings of crimson fear I see a palace shimmering in a day of hottest red An oasis drought in Jerusalem A call to arms awaits me as I gladly grab his hand Assassinating every pig I see Come to me filthy one smile upon my deeds This race of animal have become dead Tempests are roaring of my win against the fawn Sweeping as a broom across the trash In flight my master nods and gives his praise of love The gutted corpse of Israel decays A chariot approaches and it burns across the skies The angel gives to me the trumpet I signal this world’s demise Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa. |
