Babylon Whores
Album • 1997
"Oh rose, thou art sick! The invisible worm that flies in the night / In the howling storm / Has found out thy bed / Of crimson joy / And his dark secret love / Doth live destroy" Oh fallen star of wormwood grace / Grant me the smile of Janus face / Give me a twin identity / A false integrity To my city set upon the hill / With a godlike view at my own will / Give me the cure for the world's pain / Give me the god of cain For damned in forbearance I have crawled / Half awake I've gotten old / I got the gum card of every sin / Sent for the Christ to win Deviltry / Some simple deviltry of sin / Give me black deviltry / The vice of kings and knaves / The king of kings and knaves /Bunch of slaves For I got no promises to keep / Wouldn't bother to sow even less to reap / And I know there's sense in being sane / There's reality to blame / But I still got something resembling pride / So one more time give me a ride / Crush in my nasal bone and ride / Rattle my spine

For want of an angel / For all the lead that you thought you turned gold / There is something that you still want to know / Il Penseroso led you astray / To the woods and the wild / The pathless way / And you followed the trail that Shelley fared / Gazed on dead kings with your sullen despair / Even the dome of the rock in Blake's city / Bore no trace of St. Augustine And you studied Plotinus / Thrice great Trismegistos / Knew the reign of Hister and Niebelung / Nietzsche, Vril und Gotterdammerung Do you want an angel / Heaven clad as the stars fell / Do you want an angel / Poison of god to make it well For want of an angel / For all the blood that you turned into ink / You found yourself still searching / A Heosphoros for a Golden Dawn / A scarlet sunrise for Babalon / Someone to stop all the watches now / Someone to bring this shithouse down / All things must have an end / All things for all men Oh forget the Tuesday baby / Let it be a doomsday baby / Come on and suck a megaton / Omega Therion So it is time / Unbind the lines of horizon / Omega Therion / Take you away

Well if a tree falls down / Does it make a sound / If there's no one to see? / And if I'm all alone / Everybody's gone / Then it's the real me / Right? And if you found yourself / To be like no one else / Who would that no one be? / And if you blew your cool / With life as an april's fool / The truth could be seen / Right? Ain't no world in a grain of sand / No flowers to hold in our hands / Didn't got no million in prizes / The shoe didn't fit in none of the sizes Pull down the shade / On your window / Go paint it a smiling face / Lose yourself in the shadows like days And everything is new and bright / Like vomit kisses on summer nights / A tooth for an eye / An eye for tooth / A truth for an eye / A lie for a tooth / They say Well if there is a Beast / And your soul's diseased / Would you take its hand? / If God don't love you / Just be a man / And be God damned Oh won't you let it come / Meet the enemy of sun / Oh it's there just look deep within / Growing bigger with your feeble sins Pull out your heart / Through the rib cage / Go paint it a smiling face / Leave a scarab in its place Would you believe that the earth is hollow / And our path is the straight and narrow / Tooth fairies and Santa Claus / There's troll's blood in all of us? Would you believe that there's nothing more for us / No more hate / No more love / No fight and fuss / When everything is said, denied and done Beyond the sun

Given to crescent moon / Chaldean echoes of spectral gloom / Like a pen pal of the gods / No horns no reply Flowers of sorcery / Like pearls before the swine / Defying space and time / Sez the pineal gland of mine Like, Given to dreaming witches' lie / It's sweet to close your weary eyes / Given to pentacles and more / Drunk with the blood of the whore Gimme some Metatron / Damn my immortal soul / But show me something that I don't know / Gimme some Metatron Given to waning moon / Septuagint whispers of impending doom / Cautes and Cautopates / A shit load of bad ass deities / Wore out my shovel / Burying monsters where they popped up / And it's OK / Doesn't matter anyway For Babalon above / For Babalon below Gimme some Metatron

Need me a bar on an alleyway / Death on a pale horse to ride away / A disease bacteria culture dip plate / Bagged take away / And it's all right / Just let it ride A fleet of dragon barges at berth / To sail off the edge of the earth / Setting sail for some bad luck / Could fuck some mean shit up / And it's all right Just let it ride And if I should lose my very soul / In some distant port of call / I would still find my way home / If I took pride and I should fall / My wings could not be shorn / My heaven would just be cold Saw life as a girl from the avenue / Daddy's sunshine with eyes of blue / Been more content with a cross eyed witch / Back in an alley ditch / And it's all right Just let it ride For all the things I've said and known / I guess some reason could be shown / Life can be easy / Life can be kind / Plain sodomy from the behind Show me a bar on an alleyway / A cross eyed witch to steal my soul away / For I could die on an alleyway / With a smile on my lips / For all the yesterdays Show me a bar on an alleyway / This is the bar on an alleway So, let it ride / Now come on and ride / Just let it ride / Now come on and ride / So, let it ride So, let it ride

In Arcadia ego / Twisted the rose did grow / Sucked up the sap of this world / Blood red the petals pearled / With some wisdom absurd And outside these walls / The night took the rose / Bound it with moonlight / And cut it up with the morning star In Arcadia ego / A rose to drown in snow / A sepulchre by the sea / Marble to slumber beneath / Lulled by a mountain stream And outside these walls / The night knows us all / In dark woods wandering / Detached of our soul "Pour wine and dance if manhood still have pride / Bring roses if the rose be yet in bloom / All wisdom shut into his onyx eyes / Our Father Rosicross sleeps in his tomb" In Arcadia ego / How fast the years did go / And how bitter is the wind / Blowing from shores of Arcady And outside these walls / The night knows us all / In dark woods the roses grow / In hardship the soul In Arcadia Ego

Two feet have I / Pillars of putrid meat / Standing so tall among my / Icons of filth / With gargoyle eyes / I see / The Christ he's smiling at me / His phosphorous grin / An absolution for all my sins And in this room / The walls covered with flies / I'm seen through their / Myriad eyes / The alien eyes / I'm seen somewhere else / Seen through the windows of Hell A few million / Light years from home / I am searching for a different kind of / Insanity / The Babylon astronaut Could you leave it all behind? (There is no evil) I see the stars painted on the window's glass / Seven planets supporting the nothingness / And I am happy / Nothing more, nothing less (There is no evil) Something came to my room / As flies on the ceiling / Coming down on me / One by one / And their hairy limbs / Crawling on my naked skin / The motherfuckers screwing on me / Insect sex No I won't move / As my ears are laden with eggs / Close my eyes / And dream of being back in the womb "Under the juniper trees Talking cats and silver boots filled with Blood" Could you leave it all behind? Under another sun / I'll grow saturnine / Lay siege to heaven / In fever dreams / And I smash my head / Into the window's glass / And see the stars come down at last

Shiny like marble kissed by sea / Some Castaneda dreams / By William Burroughs means Feeding the devil with a spoon / It is the length / Not the skill nor stealth or strength / Like / Do you got what it takes to know yourself / To kill the universe / You try to twist into a curse? True flesh of a swine fattened on her brood / Will bark at the sun howl the moon / Go grasp the meaning of universe / Or kill thyself No four and nine is a twelve / No ten and three is a twelve The new born moon did burn you blind / A Horus of plucked out eye / Trying to map the sky / To find a place to go when he dies Bride wealth of the sun / For the wife you wed / A templars' Baphomet / Crown that fits no head / Pork jelly fed / No suckling to sodomy and sin / Cheap wine pissed in the wind / Gonna get it right For true flesh of a swine fattened on her brood / Will bark at the sun howl the moon / Go grasp the meaning of universe / Or kill thyself Seasons they change / Winter did come / Washed down with blood / Gulped down your sun And ogre brood souls / Gnaw cheese from the moon / Dream of wells by the road / In darkened bedrooms / But no coffin lid nails / No n demon names / Create no interest in Hell / You got nothing to sell For no nine and four's twelve / No ten and three's twelve / No such thing as yourself / Kill the universe / Get it right
