Lyrics

Prime Mover

Clad in cloak Secretive nun Bearing the old ones' bastard son A varicose phallos Obsessed and poised her Cast a veil of dusk upon the cloister

Prime mover Maternal slave With child of her grave

Mother Filth in her womb Father Waiting in tomb

Sathanas Antichrist Spiritus non sancti

Selected heir Machinery insect The bloodline of the dark architect Toxic blood Of not known birth Antichrist will walk the earth

Prime mover Maternal slave Prime mover Maternal slave With child of her grave
