Take a deep look into the centre of your eyes into the vast dark abyss of your soul Who do you see looking back at you? Searching for purpose and reason There are those amongst us who are lost Searching for a leader to follow I am at the front of the battlefields Blaze onwards... with or against me Eminent royalty pervades the blood of man Dignity and pride rule in this teomple of the flesh The stars spine down the pathway igniting the flame Gazing into the illusion of reality Royal blood radiates Mystified by the rise of weakness Upon thrones that rise up high in the night Looking down at the flickering flames of evolution Castles and grande halls decorate the inner landscapes The pawns cannot fool my perceptions Those eyes that you are yours How is it that they cannot see further beyond? Deeper into the chasm of the ego Arrogant lividity claims the throne Beares of the thorncrown weak with their martyrdom delusions Riddled with puzzles and labyrinths There is no map for our own immortality Crosses hold not the foundations of thought Reality's the beast that mankind hath wrought Again I ask... do you know who you are? Lay down your shield and be slain The blody axe is your redemption The seeds of man breed extinction Ensnare the triumphant blazing sky The search for truth begins when you die Die with me You will die with me You can cry with me Die with me again

Where have all the great skeptics flocked? Have preachers even begun to open their eyes? Truth is so difficult to accept The Dead Sea scrolls dethrone the lies Gehenna burns with misrepresentation Hell fires burn in the mind only Clinging to their cross in desperation Hoping that their faith is not undeserving Dissection of testimonial scripture Tells stories long twisted by time Mountains of maladjusted logic Wasted on the minds of insignificant fools To the four corners of the earth They spread their seed and their fallacy Overtaken by a lack of foresight Blinded by the urge to believe Our warfare lies not in the slaughter of the flesh Thought is the axe in this battle Attack where the heart is the weakest Disconnect oneself from the physical world To the four corners of the earth They spread their seed and their fallacy Overtaken by a lack of foresight Blinded by the urge to believe So much chaos surrounds christiandom How can one argue with a blank stare? The intricate workings of an insane theology Difficult to penetrate with principle or reason Discussion and debate leads to frustration To the sky I raise my first accursed Damn this whole fuckin' world of slaves Why waste my words tanting ignorace To the antediluvian polytheistic pantheons I give praise to all that is NOT christian Freed by my wisdom and foresight Isolated by my contempt with society Discussion and debate leads to frustration To the sky I raise my fist accursed I must share oxygen with this fuckin' world of slaves A waste of breath, a waste of energy Remember the church and for which it stands Lies to suppress what parades on it's lands History and knowledge have suffered the loss There's been only christian, he died on the cross. (Repeat) They drink the blood of their nazarene The symbolic rite of human sacrifice Feasting on the flesh of their saviour An ancient cult addicted to power Thirst for blood Deceitful love The child condemned History penned Fallacious virgin goddess of purity The bastard child condemned for all eternity Muth and history penned by fanatics Biblical bigotry precedes common sense Thirst for blood Deceitful love Fallacious virgin The christ condemned "Whereever there are walls I shall inscribe this eternal accusation against chirstianity upon them. I can write in letters which can even the blind se....I call christianity the one great curse, the one great intrinsic depravity, the one great instinct for revenge for which on expedient is sufficiently poisonous, secret, subterranean, petty-I call it the one immortal blemish of mankind." *The closing paragraph from Friedrich Nietzsche's "The Antichrist" 1895

Pour into my eyes An electric sabbatical Venus shines ever so bright In the pale evening sky ...Lucifer... The power of wisdom surges The pulse of an ever fonder heart Entranced by the knowledge of a lifetime Fit to fight in a war overdue ...Warrior... You can never truly know me My blood is exquisite A labyrinth of survival Lays waste to your vain attempts ...Survival... Time is so out of phase here In this existence where I thrive Ego thieves weak with envy Time shall prove truth of self The throes of death are my benefit No walls obstruct my pathway The concept of sanity Seems so far away The chains that bind thee Drag down the spiritual essence Rebellion Is the art of survival Follow me into the night You, too, shall awaken Find your true self And abide in that essence (Solo: Mikael) Oh, the might of Lucifer Pulses in my heart centre Strength of character Strength of mind Leave the past behind My hexagram is my talisman Protector of my spirit ...warrior... god of Mars... ...Lucifer... rebellion angel I draw a circle around myself And ignite the flame of envy A tyrannical majesty Of my own wordly kingdom Crossing streams of consciousness To enter into my own... Your weakness is your disillusionment Your strength is your understanding Question the unquestionable Stir a mighty earthquake Forward on into onslaught My blood is exquisite Your submission is your surrender Your rebellion is your survival Rebellion angel battalion Never surrender, never give in Let the bridges I shall burn Light the pathway to my kingdom

A night breeze careens in through the window My eyes close and I drift out into the night air Sitting in the field beside the trees Watching the sun set into the forest in the north The sky had a most esoteric veil beneath the clouds and from the tops of the evergreens. the bats flew over my head As a cloud of mist formed and crept across the green grassy plain towards my weary eye Astonished...I gazed, I saw, I reflected It moved me to be there, to acknowledge these things To see the trees glow, to feel the vibrant energy I am so pagan, so separated fro modern life Drifting ever farther from my fellow man Reuniting with an elder order of beings We are few and far between, yet we find each other The moon resonates a feeling into me and i awe at the cloudy halo of light that Inanna shines forth A lunar mating call, and I have come to taste Sing, ye night creatures, your tune grows ever louder to my ear Immerse me in your nocturnal reverberations I bathe in your summonings Drawn together in magnetic violet trances Drawn together in magnetic violet trances My body grows weak and my eyes grow heavy Overtaken by this world I need to rest to visit the only real I know ...that is...to dream...

When the sky turns red, there’s no turning back With our eyes closed, we are under attack The dead are rising and it's hunger they lack A lonely wolf howling separated from his pack The stars rain onto the earthen streams of green Unsettling the goddess in a contemplative state serene The candle's face is melting into something so obscene Something is wrong with the world... She climbs up the staircase in her desperation The moon is truly in her eyes I reach out my hand to pull her to safety But I cannot find her, I only hear her cries The stairs turn to stars, and she falls Unwilling denizen of this cosmic maze Behind me a dark shape looms in the halls Outside the sky has embraced a creeping haze Smokefilled rooms lie still and silently The written word prevaricates what was said Hypnotic vertigo gyrates uncontrolled Dream sleep sorcery stirs me in my bed (Repeat 3 times) The sky again turns red as the sun begins to rise The moon is setting to the west in crimson guise A wave of consumption and everybody dies Beneath the veil I'm frozen, closed are my eyes... She's gone...

Between time and space there is a rift A deep empty void That transcends the rational theories of existence There are other realities, secret and unrevealed Other states of consciousness, timeless domains And in the moment of fleeting thought I stare into space...out into nowhere From the darkest recesses of you imagination You could not begin to fathom what lies beneath the boundaries of our safe reality For there is something there beyond your comprehension Beyond what you have come to accept as real Transcending the concepts that you cling to with such passive adherence (It is not god) It is not what it is I feel nothing on the end of my tongue A rich pureness flows through my veins My eyes they see unveiled At the sight that bitterness doth reign An endless search for an answer in vain Unrevealed and unrelenting pain How can I escape reality? With a crippling grasp I cling to life Bemused and beguiled by death her sweet passionate beauty Rape and fuck the divine virgin Chaste flesh glows redder than roses With a crippling grasp I cling to death Evasive and eluded from life her sour rancid frutis Rape and fuck the divine goddess Unchaste flesh bleeds redder than roses These are not her tears she weeps They are for me...for us In her mind the lions hunt her Feasting on her as she wakes in shrieks What keeps this heart of ours beating Lustful contempt for savage desire The casket is a whisper away What keeps this heart of our beating Lustful contempt for savage desire Yet I crave to lie her down Her silken walls lined with jewels Darkness surmounts the horizens edge Broken off and floating helpless between stars Immersed... I'm confined here in this existance (Sharing space with such weak pawns) I'm trapped in reality Let me out
