[00:48.76]An Archangel in bondage
[00:51.01]Bediademed, souled
[00:52.39]With a murder of ravens
[00:54.70]But no less Astarte to behold
[00:57.20]Abandoned by Heaven
[00:58.51]To the dead, dark and past
[01:01.32]Cast Her dispersions
[01:02.95]On life's brittle glass
[01:05.70]And though Her eyes still held fire
[01:08.27]As stonewalls caged the beast
[01:10.95]'Gainst the lassitudes of Death
[01:13.02]She fought but fell to greet
[01:14.95]And midst lies in collusion
[01:17.27]
[01:19.33]She was martyred to teach
[01:23.95]That "Divinity and Lust
[01:26.82]Are forever forbidden to meet"
[01:30.13]
[01:31.82]But I swore that they would
[01:33.69]Before the veil could part our embrace
[01:35.69]Twixt Her cold, silent hips I kissed
[01:39.68]
[01:47.08]And promised Christendom in flames
[01:49.52]Gravid with madness
[01:51.09]Like a feculent dirge
[01:52.90]That obsesses the heart
[01:55.34]I am covened by words
[01:58.21]To avenge Her
[01:59.46]Ebon splendour
[02:00.34]And surrender
[02:01.21]My soul to the dead to achieve
[02:05.15]Prophecies of libidinous scourge
[02:07.96]
[02:08.90]Horripilation braying o'er carious herds
[02:11.46]Vexing nightmares
[02:12.21]And their weak prayers
[02:13.84]To a no one there
[02:17.27]To hinder Her decree
[02:20.27]To weed the world of their disease
[02:22.59]As shadows unblind mine eyes to see
[02:24.34]The meat that is their congregation
[02:27.59]
[02:31.83]How they plead to the skies
[02:34.77]But this is mere foreplay to war
[02:37.52]Scar-riddled saffron eves bleed like the conjugal
[02:39.83]Vestal daughters giving throat to the priest
[02:43.89]A psychophant, the despoiler of faith
[02:46.39]Now His skinless crucifixion feeds a winged diocese
[02:49.33]For Her interred
[02:50.71]I tore a battle banner from His hide
[02:53.64]Splashed in red goetia
[02:56.02]Hues of Hell and deicide
[02:57.95]So came the night
[02:59.58]Its obsidian light
[03:01.77]Is a master whom disasters
[03:04.14]Suck upon like concubines
[03:06.52]And under black skirts
[03:08.08]That whisper of delight
[03:09.64]Darkseeds near fruition
[03:10.77]Darked deeds to marry mine
[03:12.27]"In Death's bed I have lain
[03:14.08]Paying lip-service to shame
[03:15.21]But for dreaming of thee I regain
[03:17.58]A reason to seek life again"
[03:21.46]
[03:27.27]Then we smite the divine
[03:31.77]For our true nature is sin
[03:36.52]To strip tender flesh from these swine
[03:40.27]Like the lick of carnivorous winds
[03:42.77]The breath of the storm that begins
[03:45.52]By forcing its Herod tongue in
[03:48.58]
[03:55.15]The womb of the holy virgin
[04:00.46]To taste of immaculate sin
[04:03.27]
[04:28.71]From temptation's peak we will see
[04:34.52]The world unfurled at last
[04:36.58]Now the wolves of time who stalk Mankind
[04:40.33]Shall be as one in grim repast
[04:43.96]
[04:50.39]Commemorating sickle moons
[04:54.15]The pack are poised to reap
[04:57.77]A scythe of white roses in bloom
[05:01.40]Whose twisted thorns will keep
[05:04.40]A crown upon a dead man
[05:06.84]Daylights crucified in sleep
[05:09.40]And lives that hide in scriptured lies
[05:13.40]To the memories of a scream
[05:16.65]
[05:20.83]And we shall dance amid the ruin
[05:24.83]As Adam and Evil
[05:30.15]Dizzy at the falling stars
[05:33.90]That burn fiercer in throes of upheaval
[05:36.65]If all must we damn for this moment
[05:40.46]Then it shall be so
[05:41.84]For our souls have crossed oceans of time
[05:44.59]To clasp one another more tightly
[05:47.21]Than Death could alone...
[05:49.40]
[05:53.65]As Zyklon beats reign to make carrion crawl
[06:00.14]The talons of lust rake a clarion call
[06:03.08]
[06:08.95]To the lick of carnivorous winds
[06:11.90]The lick of carnivorous winds
[06:21.40]
[06:27.96]
