The night has closed around me And hymns perverse and purposeless haunt the ears that guide my steps For in this lightless valley, my eyes are too deceived Even nature’s glory, by chaos and cacophony Is shrouded in the smoke of altars heaped with stillborn carcasses
Are Molech’s nostrils never filled? Is Hades’ bloodlust never thrilled? Are creatures made to worship flesh And sacrifice their souls to Death?
The mind of man slaves to his feeble heart Deception his sculptor, destruction his art Devolution named progress by the fallen and depraved To crown villainy with power and so justice evade
This midwife’s hand outstretched for Gaia’s last travail As she brings forth her finalborn in blood and wrath and misery I long to see her afterbirth, her turmoils all fulfilled But weep amidst the agony – the blood of souls forever spilled
How many thousand times has the almighty stayed your hand Since the dragon mustered all the darkened stars To assault the throne of God, to poison the Wellspring of Life Turn all its grace to curses and quench its very source?
Oh, Angel of Annihilation, thy beauty veiled Until revilers and deceivers kneel to kiss the edge of your sword
Oh, still your soul and calm your every fear When morning hides its face, I will be near Rest your heart, I know this night is so dark When daylight is denied, I will be close at handTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
