Plague Hymns

Born of years of abuse And torturous dreams Drown in visions of blood And cacophonous screams Hide in perilous night Their thoughts unaware Lured through these haunted halls Benighted by fear The dead are willing To share their abode The burning eyes of Baphomet Bewitch the vertigo soul Voices once ebullient Now forever mute Screams of the innocent Mouths filled with dirt Divesting your old self Lost in a new name Hands practiced in murder Touching the black flame Voices once ebullient Now forever mute Screams of the innocent Mouths filled with dirt Divesting your old self Lost in a new name Hands practiced in murder Touching the black flame Laugh and mock them to scorn Their piteous cries Ghastly, like relics displayed In your secret shrine The dead are willing To share their abode The burning eyes of Baphomet Bewitch the vertigo soul

Laden with treasures from the east The barges arrived at their ports Unbeknownst to the world The enemy secreted aboard, boded doom! Burn, fires burn! Cleanse this blight Bleed, sinners bleed Processions of dread share the passion of Christ Flagellants spare not the lash Expunge all traces of mirth With weeping and gnashing of teeth All flesh died that moved upon the earth “La Moria Grandissima” Burning deep into the night The scapegoats are set ablaze Murmuring with pious delight Heralding the end of days Burn, fires burn! Cleanse this blight Bleed, sinners bleed Processions of dread share the passion of Christ Penitents on a path of pain A holocaust of flesh Prayers to a capricious god To stave off Bubonic death Penitents on a path of pain A holocaust of flesh Prayers to a capricious god To stave off Bubonic death
