Fears bring birth and shape
Creating books of mind and soul
Funerals are baptising beyond life and breath
In the name of death and time
Faith is hands of building an immortal bridge
To reach far stars of nowhere
Sinister forces bring gods and angels
Creating massacres of heaven and hell
In the name of torment and weakness
Holiness is the servant of blood halos
Created to give fears their lies
Higher will of destruction is following
The temples of the pit of survival
Centuries of creed
Draw it by the immortal project of the mind
Knives of hunger and thirst
Are leading slavery machines
In the name of good and evil
In the name of torment and weakness
In the name of death and time
Thanatos – Todestrieb
Truth of no truth
Histories of mankind are united
By the maps of Thanatos
Horizons of illusions are immortal
Thanatos rites – Initiation Rites
Truth of no face

Timeless waves through the tunnel
Chaotic tones see trees of the pale garden in front of my eyes
Whispers of limited dreams are inner terror
Attacking shapes of my shadow
Drowning in the lakes of eternal mud
Stars, they are dying in my hands
I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint
My heart is like wax melted within my breast
Those nocturnal woods full of hidden ghoulish terrors
Like the gates of what others call their paradise
Guarded by corrupted Cherubim and black magic madness
The Black Goat tempted me the night I signed his book
Was not sowed the seed of evil and mankind in the same hour?
Black Goat, Say if you are wicked
A crown grows out his head
King of all
King of sky and land
King of sea and sand
We are ye servants, We are ye men
He eats the lions From the lions’ den
Blood of the Black Goat – Floating in my veins
Blood of the Black Goat – Are in my flesh
Coronation of the Black Goat
Black Goat, Say if you are wicked
A crown grows out his head
King of all
King of sky and land
King of sea and sand
We are ye servants, We are ye men
He eats the lions From the lions’ den

Funeral of Light

Nothingness to Nothingness
Darkness to Darkness
Thought after Thought
Breath after Breath
In the beginning after blindness
Light led me into this world
Without word
I am trapped in this womb
In empty sin and fog
A corrupted light that blinds me
In the darkness your eyes will open
Come and initiate the funeral of light
The fallen one has a black flame
To guide my inner darkness
Chains are broken through the grand funeral of light
We ate the fruit and killed the brother
We were sinners once and be sinners evermore
Abandon the light in unholy rites
Cut down the tree and choose the fall
When death is approaching
Light leads you out of this world
Funeral of light for the sinner and the saint
Now let the light devour men
And eat them up with blindness
Nothingness to Nothingness
Darkness to Darkness
Thought after Thought
Breath after Breath

Drowning In Dead Dreams

Strange is the night where black stars rise
Filling me with nameless horror
Sardonic pull from beyond
Hopeless is this existence
The moon is dark and the gods dance in the night
There is terror in the sky
The masked king of insane despair
A living god hiding in a tattered mantle
I am tempted by this blasphemous glory
Following the call into utter madness
Through unholy visions of his sign
Inside I am devoured by the king
Deep under the black lake of madness
In black abysses lie hidden sources
A supreme elder devil
The crawling chaos
I know the mystery of the unknown
Dark terrors which will never leave me
The moon is dark and the gods dance in the night
There is terror in the sky
The masked king of insane despair
A living god hiding in a tattered mantle
I am tempted by this blasphemous glory
Following the call into utter madness
I am drowning in dead dreams

Beast

Elixir of rebellion reborn
Rebellion of the one
Elixir of no certainty
Glory of no glories
The flesh of sin
Ancient fire of hunters
Beast of the soul – Satan!
Beast of the soul – Satan!
It’s he who has burned prophecies by dissolving flames
Who has imploded chains by formless void
Who has destroyed the crumbled haze of thrones
Who has glanced the trembled maze of ashes
Who has evoked the cosmic abyss by dissolving flames
Eyes of wolves and serpents – shining cells of blasphemy
Reflections of ancient caves – calling primitive apathy
Are shining through wrath and ecstasy
Claws of lions and Crows – calling slumber of insanity
Beast of the soul – Satan!
The fire of hell – Enlightens the night
Beast of the soul – Satan!
Reclaim the darkness
Archiegal
Mahakali
Ahriman
Belial
Leviathan
Moloch
Mammon
Iblis
Lucifer
Śāṭān
Schaitan
Wahash Alraouh
Beast of the soul
