Abstract Principles Taken to Their Logical Extremes
Sick religious fools instilling inexplicable fears of hell Resorting to brutality 'gainst the weak and pure Turned to your evil god, implored divine protection Soli deo gloria, feeble sickening hate For hundreds of years your kind Tortured and quelled mankind No one exempt from such agony or pain Your ab'rration caused you to persecute innocence Making vast profit cleansing their souls Inflicting excruciating pain on the blameless Burning their skin with boiling sulphur and oil Tearing their nails, piercing the quicks with spikes Driving in the cashielaws and crushing their bones Crushing their bones Your worthless charms and ineffective prayers for redemption Your only motivation was a thirst for blood Victims of this masquerade were offered their salvation Reality was further pain, fulfilment of your dreams Like children dreading the dark, blessing your torture chambers Spraying holy water while hapless victims screamed The multitude were powerless, succumbing to interrogation Their reward was further persecution till their death Inflicting excruciating pain on the blameless Burning their skin with boiling sulphur and oil Tearing their nails, piercing the quicks with spikes Driving in the cashielaws and crushing their bones Crushing their bones.

Pan: Rosy dawn lit the place where I was born Far across the wine-dark sea Cured of ills by the music in the hills Men were free to worship me Cloven hooves swept me under naked trees Tell me listener what's my name Hear it whispered in the humming of the bees Listen to my tale of shame Jehovah: Suckled by a locust in a place as dry as death Jealousy and hatred were my milk Like an evil cuckoo from the time of my first breath Perverting Cain and Ba'al and all their ilk If you choose a god before me I will slay you too All infidels I'll treat the same I prefer the fear of many to the love of just a few Hallowed be my name I have an offer you can not refuse this I guarantee Why lurk in shaded olive groves when you can follow me? I have need of a scapegoat for my sins If you'll only change your name From woodland king to Lucifer See, it's all the same Pan: Caught between Jehovah and obscurity (Should I be the devil of their deep blue sea?) Men and women sang my name and danced with me... Jehovah: ...Now as slaves I'll make them dance for me Dance then, wherever you may be I am the lord of the dance said he I'll dance with you, make you dance for me I am the lord of the dance said he Dance on the Sabbath, turn the sky black It's hard to dance without Satan at my back I'll dance with you, make you dance for me I am the lord of the dance said he Jehovah: Suckled by a locust in a place as dry as death Jealousy and hatred were my milk Like an evil cuckoo from the time of my first breath Perverting Cain and Ba'al and all their ilk If you choose a god before me I will slay you too All infidels I'll treat the same I prefer the fear of many to the love of just a few Hallowed be my name Dance then, wherever you may be I am the lord of the dance said he I'll dance with you, make you dance for me I am the lord of the dance said he Dance on the Sabbath, turn the sky black It's hard to dance without Satan at my back I'll dance with you, make you dance for me I am the lord of the dance said he Jehovah: I have need of a scapegoat for my sins If you'll only change your name From woodland king to Lucifer See, it's all the same If you choose a god before me I will slay you too All infidels I'll treat the same I prefer the fear of many to the love of just a few Hallowed be my name Pan: Am I god or am I demon Am I just an older lie? To survive I must adapt Or lay down my head and die Jehovah: I have need of a scapegoat for my sins If you'll only change your name From woodland king to Lucifer See, it's all the same If you choose a god before me I will slay you too All infidels I'll treat the same I prefer the fear of many to the love of just a few Hallowed be my name Pan: Am I god or am I demon Am I just an older lie? I must now become corrupted As I have no wish to die Jehovah: Glad am I you're on my side, I'm glad that you agree Keep your horn and goat's cleft feet Domination of men's souls is my only aim you see Halfway we cannot meet It's up to you to take the blame, yours are my mistakes Leave your age-old Grecian fastness I'll make sure that you're the one by any means it takes Arise my newfound minion, prince of darkness.

Born and raised an oblate girl in god's green gem isle Can't but help betray her thoughts (her clandestine smile) Just a blushing rose entwined, cheeks a scarlet hue Knows there's something church-condemned (what she aims to do) Leaves are parted by her hand untaught in lovers' ways Virgin's eyes gaze at the stone (infantile daze) A trembling in her limbs, itch between her thights Journey here her dark secret, trees are her disguise Deiseil sið around the stone, path so clear before her Bride of jesus, god's cumal, her lord a mirrored cur She might ride the dark green wave, foam around her legs Drink lust's wine to quench her thirst, drain it to the dregs Withered blossoms on the ground, blooms newly appeared The moon between the boughts above snow-pure eyes has seared Blinded by its silver rays, aroused by her own sight She climbs atop the pedestal to enact the ancient rite The white and black that hides her grace away from others' eyes She does not wear it with despair, her finger satisfy Some semi-conscious impulse made her haunt the wood Where shadow enshrined the stone... Having kissed the grey image with devout passion She performed there all the antique immemorial rite.* Born and raised an oblate girl in god's green gem isle Can't but help betray her thoughts (her clandestine smile) Just a blushing rose entwined, cheeks a scarlet hue Knows there's something church-condemned (what she aims to do) Leaves are parted by her hand untaught in lovers' ways Virgin's eyes gaze at the stone (infantile daze) A trembling in her limbs, itch between her thights Journey here her dark secret, trees are her disguise Deiseil sið around the stone, path so clear before her Bride of jesus, god's cumal, her lord a mirrored cur She might ride the dark green wave, foam around her legs Drink lust's wine to quench her thirst, drain it to the dregs Withered blossoms on the ground, blooms newly appeared The moon between the boughts above snow-pure eyes has seared Blinded by its silver rays, aroused by her own sight She climbs atop the pedestal to enact the ancient rite The light of Jesus bathes her, the blood of kings flow through her mind She knows the lamb will save her and all her faithful kind.

A year has come and gone, my liege has gone from me Turned deaf ears to my tears, far across the sea In dark of night I see you lifeless in the mud No fire now will kindle, evermore to mingle with my blood In you no fire now will kindle, I nevermore will mingle with thy blood Unburied and forgotten, slain across the sea Wafer and wine, the cross divine, taken you away from me No more to taste your bitter kiss nor through my loins your fire Hammer and raven, scruff of neck shaven, all that I desire Wafer and wine, the cross divine, taken you away from me Sword and mead, your fertile seed have I lost along with thee Let the voyeurs gather round, carrion crows to dine You have drunk mead so sweet, blood communion wine Turned deaf ears to my tears far across the sea Thou and I have shared our blood, thy seed lives on in me Wafer and wine, the cross divine taken from me your fire Glory in war by the hammer of Þórr, all that I now desire Ride my bride, take my hand, wash your painted hair Bodies twined, unified, darkened child and fair Down paths of firelit through in winter cold and white Or in the twilit hours of drowsy summer's night You and I tried in sleep to meet each other there Ebon locks on iv'ry skin, mine were tangled fair Down a warm and well-worn lane that I hope to taste again Two children did we stray and sing wise idle thoughts upon many a thing All the world is full of fools that their own curious langugage drool (But not to you and me) Side by side, a wounded pair, heads together, mingled hair Hand in hand, to and fro, sworn to watch each other grow (watch each other grow) Tattooed torque-encircled arms will never hold me now I will only see of thee what my memory allows A wind of change blows here now, a new religion for to pave I've kissed my children, tucked them in and built my barrow grave Wafer and wine, the cross divine taken from me your fire Glory in war by the hammer of Þórr, all that I now desire...

Gather round o people, I'll describe to thee The millstone round my neck, what it does to me If as a rat the gilded ship I chance and do not flee Flawless coal may be eclipsed by fool's gold memory Blood will tell, ancient seer, pray that I'm proved wrong If you would know what I fear try and understand this song Kalevala girl, pine needles round her feet Sort of girl you'd brave the night in secret tryst to meet When rain has ceased the earth to drown, smell her in the air Same scent lies upon her skin, trickling through her hair I'm her blackened jesus, her spear in my side Mail ordered saviour crucified Shackled to her rock, everyone to see She won't catch the venom as it falls on me Naked as my day of birth I stand before her now Clothed by the blood of this fertile sow Divided avatar of a deeply flawed god Cruelly she goads me, rides o'er me roughshod My body her bread, blood is her wine My flesh on her crops - a victim divine When darkness falls, slay me then You know to be with you I would rise again I've prayed for a piece of flawless coal Instead of blazing darkened crystal light I fear that she'll devour my soul Flecks in her eyes are of iron pyrite O god of love so handsome, look thither heed my cry I can't pay her ransom (these three years I've tried) I've gone to hel to find her, she won't take my side She mends the chains that bind her, please take away her pride You've only made me strong where I didn't know I was weak And made me vulnerable where I used to be so fucking strong I'm her blackened jesus with her spear in my side Mail ordered saviour whom she's crucified Shackled to her rock for everyone to see She won't catch the venom as it falls on me When rain has ceased the earth to drown I smell her in the air Th'same scent lies upon her skin and trickles through her hair If as a rat the gilded ship I chance and do not flee Flawless coal may be eclipsed by fool's gold memory Blood will tell, ancient seer, pray that I'm proved wrong If you would know what I fear try and understand this song So you know o people the choice is before me To stay with sadness yet with joy or gain some sanity

I was with the apostate when fell by Parthian hand I marched with the tyler across this wounded land Underneath the raven banner with our blood we stained the sand Brothers in arms betrayed by a fate that craved our final stand I took my place on the purple plains that bore the hunters fair Taste our grief, smell our tears (how difficult to face what you've feared) Salt-laden winds from a coastal bight blew their hatred and despite Through our hair Could we be as brothers you and I? If we had to together could we die? Would you make your water mine (I could make my water thine)? Let us cut our palms and our bloody fingers twine And it hurts to learn that there are none Who'd stand for me against all odds It grieves me so to know my heart Will one day be the jackal god's If I could I'd turn back time Or change my name and change my line But I am damned to have to face my tyler's stand We could be of the same chain you and I If we had to then together we could die My blood could be thine if you said that yours is mine We could cut our palms and our bloody fingers twine Behated not beloved, I swear that I could bear it If the pain of my existence you would say you fain would share it Give you all my friendship, all you wanted I would spare So as not to feel I'm half a sundered pair We could be of the same chain you and I If we wanted to then together we could die My blood could be thine if you said that yours is mine We could cut our palms and our bloody fingers twine Hated not beloved, I swear that I could bear it If the pain of my existence you would say you fain would share it Give you all my friendship, all you wanted I would spare So as not to feel I'm half a sundered pair We could be of the same chain you and I If we had to the together we could die My blood could be thine if you said that yours is mine We could cut our palms and our bloody fingers twine Hated not beloved, I swear that I could bear it If the pain of my existence you would say you fain would share it Give you all my friendship, all you wanted I would spare So as not to feel I'm half a sundered pair Could we be of the same chain you and I? If we had to then together we could die My blood could be thine if you said that yours is mine We could cut our palms and our bloody fingers twine Hated not beloved, I swear that I could bear it If the pain of my existence you would say you fain would share it Give you all my friendship, all you wanted I would spare So as not to feel I'm half a sundered pair Could we be as brothers you and I? Could we stand together back to back to die? Are we not two halves of a greater whole? Siamese twins joined at the soul Are we not two halves of a greater whole? Siamese twins joined at the soul The path she said that he would walk has been so hard to tread At times I've felt my life was false, wished that I was dead How can I tell the call to mass is not my funeral knell? I fear that I will burn in heaven, for me there is no throne in hell I've built a wall around myself but through the chinks it shows That though I try my mouth is dry, lips are chapped, tongue spit-shy Still this wind shirks not from the fight, easing not it's airy might Viciously it blows Could we be as brothers you and I? If we had to together could we die? Would you make your water mine (I could make my water thine)? Let us cut our palms and our bloody fingers twine Could we be as brothers you and I? If we had to then together...
