The Apostacy Canticle

When our flames
Were lit by chaos
We knew not the grip
The bondage of light

Then he waved his sceptre
And cosmos was formed
Too late we knew
Our freedom was lost

He blinded us
Polluted our minds
And forced us to drink
Drink his blood

I will show the world God's true face
I will let the thunder roar forevermore
I've deceived his world but regained
Paradise in the fire of my soul
In the death of the wind I sleep
As I wail this petrified landscape
Chaos, anguish, an optimum affection
In the clarity of certainty
So empty

"Mighty Lucifer
Thou art the light that leads to darkness
As much as I praise thee, I love thee without praise
As much as I love myself, I adore thee relentlessly
Thou art our true father
The wine of Venus, the essence of our hope"

Death, solemn death of the reaper's star
Devour his legacy from afar
I fumble, live, I fall, die
Isolated in the crowds of God
And suffering in between, lurks the everlasting absence
For my dark euphoria
Thence I am sovran created
Like in heaven myself and I fell in fury
The indolence of solitude
May drive out the soul of its sermon
And memory shall be lost
To the blood which hopelessly pulsates
The indolence of solitude
May drive out the soul of its sermon
And memory shall be lost
To the blood which hopelessly pulsates

In our excruciating hearts

"Is this the region, this the soil, the clime
This the seat that we must change for heav'n
This mournful gloom for that celestial light?
Be it so
Since hee who now is sovran can dispose and bid what shall be right
Fardest from him is best
Whom reason hath equald force hath made supreme above his equals
Farewel happy fields where joy for ever dwells
Hail horrours, hail infernal world and thou profoundest hell
Receive thy new possessor
One who brings a mind not to be chang'd by place or time"

In this abyss
We shall be free
Here we shall celebrate
The coming war
