The Age of Nefarious

Unholy are the holiest of all, the truth be told And soulless are the soldiers of the onward Christian soul The retrograde insanity true profanity shall install All Hell be loosed where old excuses paralyze freewill This is the time - this is the day - this is the age The symmetry of their salvation strangles like a curse The rapture of the verse and chapter birthing something worse With sanctimonious ritual the canonize their dead But with sword and fire and crucifix their gospel has been spread This is the dawning of the Age of Nefarious - the wretched rise in answer to the call As in my mind I crystallise the things in life I most despise - this plague they share with us So join me now in prayer my friends, and may their faith make martyrs of them all The living lies of history were written by the hand Of those who had the might to prove His right To save us? Enslave us? Spill our blood upon the sand Till we chose to turn their faces to the light And meanwhile, in the ministry, the unhappy few await In the hope that as they give, they shall receive As the notion they're nothing in this solitary world Leaves them desperate for something, something to believe Evangelistic vultures dig their claws into out time Irreligious ministers grow far beyond their prime There is no chosen path, no sense to anything at all The song of life's litany as all prepare to fall

God cursed my vile obscenity - and cast this wretched pox on me Thus to annul my blasphemy - must I endure hell's purgatory This plea I proffer unto thee - O mentor of my destiny I beg thy blackened soul - to take this wretch within thy clemency From barren realms of morbid fear - this foul tempestuous cross to bear O Satan I beseech thee to have mercy on my soul Even as I speak marasmus eats my flesh as I resign myself To suffer sinners sentence of eternal scorching flame Wracked with pain I crawl away to find some stinking hole To vainly pray for succor to my weary vanquished soul Satan I bow to the devil - Satan I crawl to the devil All at once through acrid smoke I peer, terror grips my heart Mesmerized, I fawn before the evil prince of darkness Putrid pus seeps from my eyes, the sulphur burns my flesh Where art thou Lucifer? What must I do to end this living death? Assuming shape of goatlike man the tempter stands before me And speaking slowly, summons wretched sinners seeking sanctuary "Your blasphemy will be undone the day you hail the darkest one" De profundis clamavi ad te Domine, Domine exaudi vocem meam Quia apud Dominum misericordia, Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui sancto Uoyk cuf dnayna pmoc ruoyk cufwo nemtak oolt sujtu bsde erbflahg nik cufoy Revoem dek cufuoy nehtefil ymmor fsrae yneeth gieko o tuoy revir dikkin ecnerwal Mloclam njip iptreb nos ggyr tgise nra jbek ctred sevy stred sred nely noh tna For selling my divinity a blackened angel I shall be And never more must I endure Hell's wrath - hell's fire - hell's curse - hell sent Hell's toll - hell bells - hell raise - hell bent Hell's gates - hell's woe - hell's wrath - hells end Thus he annulled my blasphemy And scoured the plague of plagues from me Innocently I believed that I possessed immunity Then bitter truth did dawn on me That I must spend eternity In hades (not in penance) but in base servility

I loose my tongue And tell all who will listen And beg of my friend To assume my position Pretending belief, Then try to explain But clearly they really believe I'm insane Despite the intensity of all that I have seen My rigid conviction - it was not a dream They cast seeds of uncertainty Deep in my mind They implant ambiguity Attempting to blind me My trembling arm is taken By a stranger's outstretched hand His grip is firm His voice is firm And I succumb To his demands Confused (and not a little scared) I am taken to a room, where but one single candle flame relieves the heavy gloom There do I retell my tale, not once, but many times, at last, believed, I am relieved, contentment now is mine "...In ships of fire and helms of bronze they came to meet me A sight as strange as death itself - believe me, don't bereave me Children of light from the corners of time, fanning the embers of piece Their intent was defied in the face of mankind, and begone, we compelled them to leave..." All at once their sympathy averts to ridicule, they scorn me as they would a clown, a jester, or a fool "Forgive us for misleading you", my captor wryly said, "those things you saw were real enough - but only in your head" So am I insane? Now I'm not so sure, straining my senses still I must endure Trapped in this labyrinth of doubt and confusion, denial of all is my only solution
