The Apostasy Complete Lyrics

Prometherion Lyrics

[Lead: Nergal]
[Lead: Seth]
 
Drowned in empty black
Attempt to embrace my universe
I learnt how to crawl through knives and thorns
Drowned in alienation
I drag myself through the mud
Hatred injected, abhorrence accepted
When mankind fall prey
I shall arise!
 
 
[Lead: Nergal]
 
And Great Dragon from my mouth emerged
And all the treasures ov this world belong to me
In the sweetest inorganic embrace ov my devotee
I pledge my dagger unto Thee
 
Blessed with the Promethean rain
Tranquility I may find in bottomless pits
I shall carry this darkness on my back
'Till the day all the suns eclipse I shall...
 
Eat the weak!
Fuck the flesh!
Slit the throat!
Consume the dead!

Be Without Fear Lyrics

[Background Lead: Nergal]
 
[Verse 1]
Behold the throne ov burning gold
And all the evil that it shelters
Yet I be monarch myself
Offering more than others give
Materialize the ashes ov Elysium burned
Not even angels dare to bid farewell
Annihilate this Eden now
Blasphemy gives birth to divine
 
[Chorus]
Feed my flame
Leviathan
Rape these wounds
Asmodeus
Raise me high
Belial
Through Thy rage my will manifests
 
[Lead: Seth]
[Lead: Nergal]
 
[Verse 2]
I truly am my own redeemer
Blindly I follow none but myself
Without fear I am
Unhallowed be my name
Myself am hell and hell I shall unleash
I laugh at Thee to scorn
Mock Thy majesty
Pour forth my chalice ov victory
 
 
[Chorus]
Hear my call
Leviathan
Bless my path
Asmodeus
Lift me up
Belial
Through Thy wrath my will manifests
 
[Lead: Nergal]
[Lead: Seth]
 
[Chorus]
Feed my flame
Leviathan
Rape these wounds
Asmodeus
Raise me high
Belial
Through Thy rage my will manifests
Hear my call
Leviathan
Bless my path
Asmodeus
Lift me up
Belial
Through Thy wrath my will manifests

Arcana Hereticae Lyrics

[Background Lead: Seth]
[Lead: Nergal]
 
What fool are ye!
From zenith to nadir
Through externalized purity
Dexterity
Sealed ye gates ov your own paradise
Skakti, Kali Ma, Durga Ma
Thou art pure in Thy sinistry
 
For those who cannot see
The Unconditioned One!
Creatrix, Matrix, Devourer!
 
[Lead: Seth]
 
Thee who spits out sun
From thy mouth
In endless momentum -
Kamala's menstruum
On road to immortality
We go against current
To the womb ov Kali
Through the mouth ov Bhairavi
To the final dawn ov Chaos
How come we're still alive?
In these kingdoms ov filth
When heaven's so abstract
And hell is so real...
 
 
[Lead: Nergal]

Libertheme Lyrics

[Background Lead: Seth]
 
In my church ov disbelief
It canst get no better
When days turn from black to grey
In church ov indifference
So innocent in their guilt
Perfect in their imperfection
Let my children play
 
[Lead: Seth]
 
In my church ov liberation
When doubts and fears wither away
I stand alone vs. the world
In the church ov man
Where god is trapped in human flesh
I never pray
In church ov pain
I spoil none but myself
Yet my monologue's unheard
 
[Lead: Seth]
 
In my church ov hope
Yearning for Thy sweet embrace
The waters ov Styx I have crossed
In this church ov sulphur rain
Flaming mouth ov Sheol
In my church ov broken word
It's so little that I ask
The brightest ov the days
The darkest ov the nights
 
 
[Lead: Nergal]
 
What once was
I wish no longer be
Fear ov separation is no more
One cosmic breath-the whole eternity
Unbroken flow ov awareness conquers entropy
 
The voyager, bathed in venusian rays
Let them shine through me
Split the seas
Awake inner divinity
The flame ov awareness comes to my eyes
