1. | Nightbringer - The Void | 08:34 | Show lyrics |
Come forth scathing winds Rid these mortals of their flesh For it is time to glut the hunger Of the unending The ebbing of the blood shall bring the void Death is the threshold to its gates To the dark and cold in the nothing beyond I am the key, messenger of darkness When the earth is dead and all is not The void shall consume all All shall return to Darkness Existence shall be no more I shall stalk the earth in shadow Bearing these words upon manking And in the eyes of their dying children, they shall see In the shallow breath of the sick and starving, they shall hear In the husks of their failing mortality, they shall feel The great Truth shall be known and all will despair The Nothing lurks just beyond the horizon Flesh and blood is all that binds Ever-failing as life’s light grows dim The end is coming And all shall be cast to the void |
|||
2. | Nightbringer - Mors Philosophorum | 04:59 | Show lyrics |
Mors Philosophorum - in ritual death well fulfill destiny Our mortal confines are merely vessels spiriting us forth Into Oblivion This is the great knowing This we embrace Oblivion is our god Creator and destroyer of all Darkness shall be our final resting place The death of the earth is the birth of the void which turns all to nothing The laments of this world are as hymns to my kind Stalk in Mist and Shadow Mors Philosophorm - in ritual death we fulfill destiny Corrosive waters cleanse us of our mortal dregs Embracing our beginnings We are born on the abyss In the end, nothing existed |

3. | Nightbringer - The Dark and the Silence | 08:22 | Show lyrics |
I see the world through the eyes of an apparition I commune with what lies in the earth I rise as the dark searing flame Beyond the dark and the reaches of the mind Voiceless, yet I speak to thee Bading thee come forth into the cold earth from slumber For I am the hateful cold, the dark and the silence I am all, I am nothing The lifeless tomb is the entrance to this eternity The rot that sinks below is the sanctus womb Come forth lost children of the earth and cease thy breath I rise as the black searing flame Beyond the dark and the reaches of the mind Voiceless, yet I speak to thee Still thy beating heart and forever rest thine eyes Intern thy weary flesh and lie with us Let thy blood turn cold And thou shalt know my embrace Come forth lost children of the earth Cease thy breath, still thy beating heart Forever rest thine eyes Intern thy weary flesh Lie with me |
|||
4. | Nightbringer - Vir Sapiens Dominabitur Astris | 08:53 | Show lyrics |
I trace my gate upon the wall of stars and pass into eternity Navigating the aeons astride the dragon of the wind’s eye Through the tumultuous seas of space and time byond the great spheres of fire The last outposts and final beacons on the brink of the yawning void Here where the seeds of thought arise from naught And the Great eye is but a candle in the depths Black on pitch space unbound Here lies the Serpent (Katholikos Phis) Black on pitch space unbound Its writhing coils enfolding all things incarnate and yet to be From the Serpent’s great maw issues the breath that is the life Of all worlds seen and unseen The winds of creation (And unto its great maw in time shall return) Destruction, Birth, and Death I am reborn Ever onward I soar where even the astral winds dare now blow To the beginning, the space beyond existence And from the stars unborn where no light has yet dwelled I construct my throne and illuminate my kingdom My will, the hand of the architect, my word a new note in the Eternal Song The gate of the Eye that I have awakened parts the mists of time Seeing beyond the vast aeons of eternity |

1. | Nightbringer - Womb of Nyx | 07:09 | Show lyrics |
I set the flaming eye of Algol upon my brow And ride forth upon sepulchral fog with serpents and shades Under the thousand eyes of Night and her black wings And where I pass birds fall from the sky and soil is salted With arboreal haunts on which every tree hangs a wailing man I commune and learn the Gospel of the Fall I nail the Ravens Head upon the oak at the crossroads of death And see with hollowed eyes what the earth has swallowed I hear the cries of what still rots within its belly I smell decay and the spoiling of the flesh, the incense of the dead And I behold the Gate. All secrets first lie below Down beyond the sinking corporal houses, into the depths, across the abyss into vacuous black Unto the other shore so far beyond the reaches of the flesh, beyond time The Phosphorus blaze the heavenly jewel of thy crown illuminates this kingdom beyond the veil of death The pillars of its gnosis rising before my host And with a single word and the breath of flame, I bring forth the Dawn Let the wary weep as slumber turns to death Let the earth smolder and heave as the Golden Pillars rise |

2. | Nightbringer - Feast of the Manes | 06:55 | Show lyrics |
Come unto me Seraphim de Sopor Sec ulum I offer my flesh and blood that I may pluck a feather from the wings of the Angel of Death May it be a quill with which I scribe the forms of thy sacred names From the sanguine of my heart and open the gates to the labyrinth beyond slumber and death Relinquishing my corporeal form to shadow as I will pass beyond in luminous form With serpent tongue I summon those shades that would taste of the gifts of the living I, psychopomp to the agape of the stygian maze But one star shines tenebrous upon these colossal depths Nefarious pulsing Daemon’s Head, risen in culmination above the atramentous wastes Sup upon these vestments I cast away, oh shambling eidolons and shadow forms of murk and drear And lay bare the knowledge unbegotten of any god I ride the currents of Erebus upon ebon wings into aphonic gulfs unending As a star new born I have become A beacon in the abyss |

1. | Caput Draconis - Black Saturn | 07:59 | Show lyrics |
Behold, he whose ebon nimbus blots out the face of god He who weaves the Lethean spirit about the dying hearts of man He who art the Black Dawn raised to enfold the earth within starless pitch Concealing the splendors of heaven Arch- glutton who feasts upon the flesh of infancy with prolicidal hunger Imperator of beguilement and the unbroken dream whose gramarge hath entangled my being alow the soporic waters From my somnolence I now stir, for through the pathways of thy hidden vestiges unveiled Within this sweven underdark, I have gained the Gateway of Dawn, and I awaken Arisen that I may behold thee, O’ puissant lord, with eyes unveiled And thy Name with the first first breath of life At which thy gates are thrown wide, baring me no longer from thy high-sealed sovereignty Verify I come forth in tempest, crowed with flames and a vest of unyielding night Betwixt the houses of slumber and awakening, to slay thee with the adamant spears of my tongue And usurp thy palace of death, sealing myself within thy star-fire throne Resplendent above My wings unfurling sable across the blazing heavens As I consume my brood in bounty Satiating the hunger of a god |

2. | Womb of Nyx | 07:27 | Show lyrics |
I set the flaming eye of Algol upon my brow And ride forth upon sepulchral fog with serpents and shades Under the thousand eyes of Night and her black wings And where I pass birds fall from the sky and soil is salted With arboreal haunts on which every tree hangs a wailing man I commune and learn the Gospel of the Fall I nail the Ravens Head upon the oak at the crossroads of death And see with hollowed eyes what the earth has swallowed I hear the cries of what still rots within its belly I smell decay and the spoiling of the flesh, the incense of the dead And I behold the Gate.

4. | Of Silence and Exsanguination | 10:01 | Show lyrics |
Release the blood I fall through the earth and am inhumed within the dark beyond Descending in the throes of the two-fold death unto the corrosive pools of Tartarus below Wherein my being writhes and gasps Before this supreme gate which no consciousness may pass Flesh is scorned and blood is offered with both hands upraised Double Serpent of a thousand eyes gaze upon me now Tear my being asunder in thy winds of your mighty will Let my life flow out from me unto the yawning pitch Crimson to black, fluid to flame. Unto the hunger of the eternal storm Let my fall be the fall of all men. May the blood of humankind flow out from these wounds Falling in ruined form deprived of all essence Immersed within the depths of the black ebb Sinking into nothing |
|||
5. | The River Lethe | 07:12 | Show lyrics |
The River Lethe The Raven sears above as the Serpent stirs below And cancerous wombs vomit forth black prodigies before the throne of Saturn Behold, These children born with wounded eyes, severed tongues and the death veil adorned Who slither upon their bellies towards the Black Sun, flesh withering within the light All rot, ruin and decay. Below, blood stained lips wet pious hands in sermon of silence and slumber This is the Fall. A choir of dying children upon the ramparts The River of Blood flows once more And the starving of a thousand begins anew the great feast for the One The stricken crawl forth wailing towards the raging streams of chaos Unto the gluttony of the Devouring Maw. May the waters swallow them all These blind and ruined souls, who wander aimlessly within the labyrinthine walls of pitch The Black River swells to receive them Oh, great lake of sorrow. The sea of slumber in which the weak and weary are cast In which all within struggle for breath with no respite. Poison is what the breathe Within the depths of sorrow all shall drown and be undone |

6. | Beneath the Sands of Dudael | 14:05 | Show lyrics |
Long have I suffered within the boundless desert of Solitude Long have I tread upon this crocked path. Trough Shadow and Flame Flame and Shadow. Tribulation upon tribulation. Guided by the serpent beneath my feet and the Black head of Gnosis. To the burial place of our Father whom we doth name Azael, the Shackled One. He who lies imprisoned within the depths of the Cauldron of God, his chains Doth bind us all. Ye, ineffable black diamond that can not be seen nor held but with the eyes And with the maw of the Draconian seion. My blood has whispered the lost names of your sons and daughters. Those fierce broods of my ancestry begotten trough the wombs of whoredom And Angelic desire. Whose smitten flesh released black daemons upon the haunts of the Earth I speak now their names, scribe now their forms and call forth from the lineage of the Blood of the Tiller. Wielder of Flame. May he immolate the clay that swathes my soul And illuminates the fathoms below the pillars of heaven around which the coils of our Lord doth twine Let the sands now shift and the desert awake as the unutterable Name is scorched upon my tongue Arise in me Black Winged Angel. Let the prism that binds your celestial light be now shattered Lord of the Earth and the Forge. Oh, Midnight Sun. Come Forth |

7. | Caudua Draconis - Azra Lumial | 10:45 | Show lyrics |
Lumial, Prince of the Earth. Who shall hear thy words? When the earth splits beneath thy shadow and mountains crumble at thy passing... When the lakes, rivers and seas are poisoned by thy tongue... When the dying sun is swallowed within thy terrible maw, Who shall harken unto thee and be counted amongst thy children and thy mighty council? Who shall see as thou doth see, with the eyes of the Serpent, as the man of the earth is pierced, torn and bathed in flame, his ashes scattered by the breath of thy divine word Who shall be born upon angelic wings, raven black, through the nighted arches of Solomon’s Gate? Lumial, Throat of Oroborous. Swathed in locust winds, and storms of thunder and flame Who shall stand before thy glory? Who shall wade with thee through oceans of blood to receive baptism under the crimson skies of Megiddo? Who shall revere thy Name as the tremendous clamor of Vulcan’s clarion resounds and star after star falls burning to the earth? Lumial, Usher of the Dawn. From clay to flesh, from flesh to flame, let us be crowned with thy crown! Let our celestial wings close about thee as we ascend into starless night enshrining thy emerald radiance above the burning earth Lumial, Serpent of Heaven. Who shall become as thee, and be counted amongst the stars? In the shadow of thy mighty wings we shall walk upon the corpses of man Across blasted wastes, through fetid rivers of poison and blood And fields of husks and bone Bearing the Serpent’s chalice Within which the blood of our blood and the seed of our seed shall know union Into the loins of the daughters of Quayin Shall this libation be poured And from wombs divine shall a new age be born Oh, Lumial! Lord of the Burning Aeon! Blessed be thy name! |

I am the lone sojourner in the burning desert of Shadow I am he who strides upon the razor’s path Flanked by chasm and naught I am he who would pass betwixt and between within the moment of the nocturnal thunderbolt’s radiance I am Man The burning Adam who reaches towards Polaris to steal from it’s quintessence And places it’s ineffable flame within my heart. |

I am I Apothosis crowned with a black sun nimbus Of seven Immolating rays Risen from a sea of cacophony and darkness And invested within starless night With the left hand stir the serpent Who slumbers before the throne of Ariemanios Awaken! Seven storm clouds of Typhonian winds Ten horns to rend! Poison for poison Confound hymn of praise Omega, Upsilon, Omicron, Iota, Eta, Epsilon, Alpha From this sphere shines black illumination! From this sphere comes wrathful fire! Ebon Izevaot Rush towards the children of man with the hand of Gadriel And with the stroke Kasyade, strike the womb of the genetrix I am I |

2. | Supplication Before the Throne of Tehom | 07:05 | Show lyrics |
Tehomat Coil thy form above me And guild me with seventy horns As I rise from thy black sea temple And pass back through the gates of Death and the Abyss To copulate with the Fates And extinguish the stars with my hands All stars but one With serpents jaws I feast upon the face of god And drink the wine of his heart I rend and burn his form And unleash a deluge Of blood from his wounds To drown the world of man Sphagia of the highest divinity I give to a throne so utterly low And from the chalice of Geh I pour the dark shadow of time. An Irregular liberation of menstria to poison the heart of Sothis As Akhekh devours the moon the Word of Truth is assailed once more And thus the Circle broken Saturn enters the subterranean mansion Of a dread star whose course arcs through the nadir of the abyss Then rises from the underworld To be reborn as the blazing black flame of the Lord Enemy Whose illumination is Death |

3. | Serpent of the Midnight Sun | 08:56 | Show lyrics |
Sept-Dracronic star raised in culmination above the dying earth, at each point a devil crowned with a hundred blazing suns, like so many flaming spear points born from black oceans of naught. Sidereal phantasmagoric host heralded from the abyss by the resonance of the first cosmic Utterance. Fulgurous princes of tribulation enshrined upon thrones of burning horns, seated above visages of fury and scorn, the seven faces of the Devourer who slithers through the black between the stars. I pray before the yawning maws of gluttonous ruin, the divinity that shall swallow the heavens and sunder the earth drowning all within the infinite ocean of darkness. I give praise unto the seven daimons of the abyss, the earth, and the twilight of this aeon’s end. The lidless gaze of the Eye of Typhon, an ebon igneous orb suspended within the dark immensity of empty cosmos falls upon me. The Autarch of the First and of the Last awakens within me and I know attainment of the heights within the voidal perfection of deep Tehom. |

Oh, igneous venom, I ingest thee from the fiery chalice of the Coiled One beneath a tumultuous sky of flame shed mercurial tears. May the Blooded Lion lay upon the sulfur that is my disgorge and be stayed by the poisons of my toil. Shackled in a coffin of Iron, heated within the flames of the Forge of the Ebon Sun. I seek the Magisterium through the gates of immolation. Sable daimons of the Gate of Horns be not unfamiliar, for I have slain thy brothers of the ivory pass with the reaving athame of Mort. The earth trembles with the resonance of the waking Devil’s breath and the harvests burn and locusts gather with the opening of his eyes. Six spheres hat become thrawled under the baleful sign of Saturn. Seven sisters in conjunction wail the name of God and Quayin’s black winged host exanguinates the moon. Seven trumpets resounding, the raging Theullai hath been freed from the abyss. Seven seals are breaking, disinterred Titans rise. Seven gates are opening, seven spheres of flame, I upturn the seventh chalice, and pass beyond the Seventh gate. | |||
5. | Excitium: Litany of the Devouring Earth | 05:09 | Show lyrics |
Mouth of Semhazia rise up from the earth. Threat of sulfur and fire, I cast myself abject into thy Furnace of Triibulation. Prince of the Earth’s Inferno anoint my flesh and b urn this carnal prison of decay. Lay me bare upon the lake of fire and baptize me within its scorching waves. Execution of the body of Eden’s clay. Trial of the body of light and of the dark, the pillar betwixt the heights and the abyss. Draconic axis mundi! The Furnace is the Forge, and the Forge is the quintessence of the Swallowed Sun, a Sun that shines within the depths of Hell and illumes the gates beyond the Pleroma. | |||
6. | Goblet of Sulfur and Poison | 05:52 | Show lyrics |
I upturn the chalices of flesh upon the serpent laden altars Of Ophion’s wrathful aspect and lay vigorously From the gathering vermilion pools, Beneath the blood-born caul, Shrouded within the shades of Nehemoth I bare the funeral lamp down the corridors Of Somnus’ spiraling tomb And trespass beyond his muted gates To stand before the dim throne of Moth That I may drink from the cup of his left hand the sacred wine of the abyss. Death-grail of sulfur and serpent-blood poison That slays the body and eclipses the soul. I shall drink the essence of the Drakon And in death be inhumed and reborn. |

Shilyat, devour me seven times in seven maws and carry my remnants within thy belly through the gates of the Abyss. Rahab, entomb my soul within thee, that it may become a black seed germinating within thy womb, adorning thy flesh and filling with the blood of Tannin. Ophion, expel me, into the chthonic depths beyond celestial illuminations, that I may call upon the tempests and summon the Fates of gather about me. Reborn, I unfurl my coils before the deep throne of God, nighted and inversed and rise from his oceanic temple. Shedim, enshrine me in my fury as I call upon the Storm and draw up Leviathan. | |||
8. | Nephal: The Seat of Pan-Daimonium | 06:29 | Show lyrics |
Wnen thy nations become as the long nighted Gomorrah And the curses and profanations of provenance dims the stars of heaven And the therion skulk within the ruins of the kingdom of Adamus I shall adorn the skin of Belchira and speak with his mouth the terrible utterance of Black Metatron. And I shall place in thee pneumata akatharta, that we may gain the gnosis born of fire, earned in strife and woe and become Legion, or in fire be consumed and diminish. Into fathoms of infinitesimal dark these words shall cast thee down. Only the radiance of Heosphorus’ infernal orb shall grant thee vision to return from the black of Sheh-ohl. Ye, serpent marked, know new form and harken onto the high-seat of Dawn, to stand before the golden throne of Helel. He who sits enshrined in fury between the might of Gog and Magog, resplendent before the Daimonium. |

9. | The Utterance of Kasab’el | 04:40 | Show lyrics |
Grammaton four-fold, writ with star-fire upon three tongues Three tongues sealed within the mouth of god The mouth is the chamber in which is housed flame of Creation What sentinel and binding spell sought to bar thee from this radiance? Through what way and by what means did though pass, oh black winged Kasb’el? Through tribulation and strife ten-thousand fold or ways nighted and unknown did thou ascend? Virile was thy respass unto the atrium of the Catholicon. Glorious was thy theft...long was thy fall. Cast upon flame and pitch, forbanned and bound Aoratos! The NAME silence, and unspoken... Where can thou be sought, oh black winged Kasb’el? In what prisons aphotic were thou sent abject beyond the illuminations of tyrannical thrones? By what ordination was they tongue made silent to all worlds and aethers? Doth thou await me, in patience unequaled, oh black winged Kasb’el? I seek thee now and forever... |

Daebaaman! Faceless one adorned with a hundred thousand masks To whom a hundred thousand tongues give a hundred thousand names Ineffable adversarial triune In conjunction at the center of the cross Birthed from a womb with dragon’s teeth And raised in deific spledor as three roaring serpents Three serpents from one To coil about the four pillars of the earth And slay the sons of man I now drink from the first cup and pray for the last Disinterred, the slain sun that lies transformed within the abode of the dead Rises dead and black, I now eat of the final harvest A feast of slaughter, sickness, and woe As black illumination rends the heavens and spills across the earth Daebaaman! Dragon of Old Maw of Reclamation Devil of God and man Bled by the Cosmic Sword Yet unconquered Indomitable Enemy of Creation Thy blood corrodes the sigil of the Time-keepers Divine nepenthe and poison Daebaaman! Thy wound is the fount of the profound abyss The grail from which I sate the thirst of black gnosis I tast of all offerings from thy table and thy cup And dance in jubilation as darkness in apotheosis forms And enter now the world. |

I set the flaming eye of Algol upon my brow And ride forth upon sepulchral fog with serpents and shades Under the thousand eyes of Night and her black wings And where I pass birds fall from the sky and soil is salted With arboreal haunts on which every tree hangs a wailing man I commune and learn the Gospel of the Fall I nail the Ravens Head upon the oak at the crossroads of death And see with hollowed eyes what the earth has swallowed I hear the cries of what still rots within its belly I smell decay and the spoiling of the flesh, the incense of the dead And I behold the Gate. All secrets first lie below Down beyond the sinking corporal houses, into the depths, across the abyss into vacuous black Unto the other shore so far beyond the reaches of the flesh, beyond time The Phosphorus blaze the heavenly jewel of thy crown illuminates this kingdom beyond the veil of death The pillars of its gnosis rising before my host And with a single word and the breath of flame, I bring forth the Dawn Let the wary weep as slumber turns to death Let the earth smolder and heave as the Golden Pillars rise |

We dance with the denizens of the charnel ground in the glow of the funeral pyre beneath the black arch of desolate night. We are the skull-bearers who would dare to sound the thigh-bone trumpets to call forth our murdering shadows. May their darkness eat at our flesh and thresh the profane body from subtle bones. We are the consumers and we are the consumed. We offer the horrid oblations of our skin. We offer the dread libations of the blood of our hearts. We sate Death‟s shadow, that which ever hungers. We call forth unclean eidolons. Husks of self. Come ye forth from dens of inner depravation. As we swirl in maddening frenzy through the midnight marshes to awake them in their ravenous and desperate hunger. Our horns beseech the very Lord of Death to drive his trident through the three chambers of our existence. In throws of ecstatic death we rend the fabric of the world. To gaze with a fixed serpent iris into the darkness that is beyond darkness. Oh Devi, without knowledge of thy power liberation is mere mockery! Oh Devi-L, without knowledge of thy power liberation is mere mockery! Speech of the Slaying Tongue. Black breath of fire. Burning wind of my mouth. Raising shadow from pyre. My self-murdering darkness. Oh, famished ones come. Heed the winds of dread will. Hear the call of my tongue. Fire as breathe I utter my end. Bringing shadows of death to gnash and to rend! |

2. | Eater of the Black Lead | 07:55 | Show lyrics |
Inexorable Death! Thine eminence above man is the very countenance of the Devil. I would make an altar of thine aspect. I would speak thy true name with an act of silence. I would come to be before thee by way of stillness and the Serpent eye, that I might know baptism within thy waters. Death is thy name, yet I name thee God, for there is no other. To thee I give my body like fodder to the grave and offer breath that hath become as the Serpent‟s hiss. I exhale from my mouth the flame of an inner fire, the greater “I” becoming, and let my husk be filled with the wine of the abyss. I am the child of death and dreams who passes beyond death and dreams. Consummation with thy essence, I shall consume mine own death until I hath become the conqueror of death, the Eater of the Black Lead. I am the lampadiphor within the hidden chambers shinning with profound darkness. I am within Death and Death is within me. | |||

Psychagogoi Gooi - I am the threne singer - Psychagogoi Gooi - whose song rouses death. Psychagogoi Gooi - All gnosis is learned - Psychagogoi Gooi - by the grave. Psychagogoi Gooi – I am the voice - Psychagogoi Gooi - of the tomb. Psychagogoi Gooi - Lament priest. Psychagogoi Gooi. Hermit of darkness I am the threne singer whose song rouses Death from shadows. She partakes in my revere, and joins with me in cantor and in verse. For I am her muse, the sojourner of tomb incubation. Swathed in grave soil, ash and the shifting shadows of dusk. I wail my threnody with the sepulchral tongue of goetia, and open the gates of twilight to bare the tunnels of Night. It is here that in hymn I proclaim myself Death‟s neophyte and brave a black ocean that knows no shores. I am the dirge harpist whose song brings Death into my heart. She partakes of my flesh and joins with me in the stilling of the breath. For she is my gate the black ship upon the shore of my ascension. |

4. | Lucifer Trismegistus | 05:08 | Show lyrics |
Woe unto ye who aspire not unto the magistry of Death! Ye are as food for the gods. Behold the Great Opposer, thou who art as Death! Oh that I may become at one with mine „otherness‟ of being. I seek the smagdarine crown jewel of the victorious conqueror of Eden, Lucifer Trismegistus, Janus-faced daimon. Thou who gazeth upon the Dark Abyss of Silence, Vast Depth of Nothingness, Great Void of Light beyond Light. Oh Highest One, Great Devourer, Universal Solvent, may I become at one with Thee! Bring forth the Flame that cracks the clay and tears the soul to unite the deathless spirit with Death itself. Illuminate me with a scourge of burning cinders that strikes me with the causeless liberty of Thine unfathomable fantasy. The draconian perfection born from thy boundless rebellion. Yea, the Lie that speaks the Truth! For to enter Thine steeping gulf is to rise unto and usurp the Throne of the highest. So may the inverted star that is Thine reflection boil my eyes until formless vision is given, oh ye dazzling burner of shades and extinguisher of the fallen sparks. Godless God, Traceless pilgrim of the Abyss, Nimbus of subterranean suns – Guide me to Thy bottomless peaks! | |||
5. | The Gnosis of Inhumation | 06:09 | Show lyrics |
Death be my hierophant! Lay bare the paths to the precipice. I would endure the torment of black Eden‟s thorn strewn paths of ingress. I would bask in the shadow of the Tree of Death and pluck such terrible fruits from its vines to taste of their soma. I seek entrance to the Death-Mother‟s womb. I am compelled towards her chasm which entraps and destroys all light and forms. Oh matron of the aphotic and primordial night! Thou art manifest and un-manifest, point of paradox. Thou art the darkness of empty sky and the glutinous hollows of the earth, bloated with corpses and slaked on blood-seed. I would enter with thee into fatal copulations. In wrath, pray you scourge my flesh and burn your gnosis upon my heart until my heart is naught but flame. Black Illuminatrix! May I shine with brilliance within your darkness, from which my own shadow may arise, cast across your form, a shadow that might endure in the absence of the radiant moment of its own becoming. I desire to be washed within the streams of the counter-current, within the provenance that heaves with the dispersion of forms. To drink of the lentor of this chasm is to drink the libation of the Devil‟s grail, for to sate ones thirst from this cup is to gain the burning pathway that trespasses beyond the binding circle of all eminences of an other. Only then may one upraise one‟s hands towards the image of the Great Opposer and pass through the mirror to become one with the reflection that hath become one‟s own, one‟s absolute divinity. | |||
6. | The Angel of Smokeless Fire | 07:10 | Show lyrics |
Oh merciless Titan! I direct my vision upon Thy terrible glare, that our sight may conjoin as one. For I have crawled out from the wombgrave of silent serenity, rested my burning tongue in the cold waters of oblivion and placed a skull atop the staff of my ascension. Cloaked in starless night have I journeyed upon the mare of shadow, across mountains made of childrens’ bones unto the saturnian springs where I washed the face off my soul. Soundless there, I plunged my sword into the knot of existence. With eyes covered in salt I beheld the Angel of smokeless fire, singing wordless hymns through the chthonian winds, piercing his voice through my chest, void of heart, to awaken the pole unto which all iniquity is drawn. Pulsating with death-like vigor, I there was crowned upon a tomb crowded with the glimmering reflections upon the lunar lakes. Eye gleaming with ancient terror stolen from the Abysmal sparks that dance above my anointed brow. The Throne of shameless murder be my seat, under which weight even the burden of life is crushed. Devouring the Word of reason to spew it into the bowels of the great Dragon, so that I may become Dumah – The angel of the silence of death, spreading the fourfold wings of solar Darkness across the blind mass called ALL. |

7. | Dreaming Above the Sepulcher | 05:08 | Show lyrics |
All hymns are hollow, unheard outside the gate of in-between and unbeknown fall like wounded birds from the heavens back unto the supplicant. Thus I slumber upon the threshold of death and dream the dreams of gods. It is here that I have sung my hymns into the mouths of the dead, that they may not rise but fall down and down through the chambers of slumber and unto the darkness of death‟s ingress. Lamentation and evocations in the same cadence, resounding like the songs of Thessalian witches. And with bones snatched from the maws of ravening dogs I have mocked the cathedral‟s mason, constructing an ill house of darkness mirrored within the birdless lake, a black mansion of dreaming Night. Within these dolente lands where the Incubi abound, I have chased the children of the psalm-singers from cyprus to tomb and jugulated them one by one. In my visions I have spilled the haimakuria within graven trenches dug by my nails from cemetery marle. I would dare to do more. I would will to go further. I would sit opposite the Lord of Slumber, face down turned to gaze upon the cascading abyss. I would hear truths unspoken and un-scribed within silence. I would place death‟s crown upon my head and intone my will in a tongue of stygian threnodies, with cacophonous and mournful wails upon nightmare choruses of dying lepers falling before their graves. I would draw the gaze of my daemon self upon myself that I may murder myself and become my daemon, and move ever closer towards the incalculable totality of the Great Darkness that is the Supreme. | |||
8. | Via Tortuosa | 06:26 | Show lyrics |
The perfected will of the sojourner of the serpent‟s path is the will of Lucifer crowned, triumphant. It is the fulgurous diamond resplendent above the crowns of gods. Rapt in the burning catharsis of this enigma, feed all fears and desires to the flames of a rising conflagration of the soul, in a rite of self-immolation, a sacrament of cleansing fire. The flesh is the furnace of sacrifice that bathes the dark of the abyss in brilliant illumination so that one may behold the very face of the Devil who in turn is God, who in turn is “I”, engendered by naught but the radiance of the Absolute. Through the successions of descending chambers, chase the shadow of thy deific self through the sins of innumerable trespasses. Pit thyself against the Black. Let all violations be devoid of revulsion and adoration that they may conquer and seal the quintessence of their elemental forces within the “I”. The evocation and possession of all transgressions, sins and passions is a means to claim the Serpent‟s tongue one‟s own, with which one might proclaim “I am!” in fulmination before all pantheons. The naked will of the perfected sorcerer is the anathema of god, for the nimbus of immutable being engulfs all divinities like a radiant inferno casting a deathly shadow across the face of the world. | |||
9. | Old Night | 07:55 | Show lyrics |
Thou hermit of Old Night who wadest into the turbulence of the waters un-drowned, who verily enters into death‟s magisterium without fear, thou whose toil is the ineffable work of the abyss that draws forth the all slaying solve, thou art amongst the deathless race of the kingless, beyond the provenance of god. In the light of Lucifer‟s dawn, thy shadow casts long and dim before thee. In the pitch of Noctifer‟s saturnine night thy shadow is the very face of the abyss. Oh vajra-hearted lord enthroned within the silence between the birth and death of every thought, in thronismos within the shadowed temple at the crux of the cruciform! Yet shall the very abyss of thought be wholly illuminated by the gleam from thy morningstar lantern, the fruit plucked from the deepest root. To guide the pandemonion of self unto the scarlet hill of martyrdom, upon the path that even devas are cursed to tread. Thou hast withdrawn the husks of the most bitter seed and the garments from the gods themselves, to reach the hypostasis that is a black pearl dazzling the 7 aeons. Betwixt the hammer and anvil of becoming is thy presence eternal that is in between-ness known as N.O.X. Self-murderer and Self-begetter, with eyes fixed unto the cup of Djemscheed, thou breakest the chains forged by stellar gravity. Oh, the motionless movement of Death! With both the soberness of the Amethyst and the mad Satyr’s ecstatic thirst, leap ye forth into the Mandala’s center – The Point where sun and moon collide, crushed to lifeless splinters before ancient Night’s hollow eye. | |||

O’ sacred Death, guide me across the precipice To show me the splendors of the Void, Come unto me O’ sacred Death, hypostasized angel of my dreams. In hypnogogic midnight’s burial sanctum interned, I lay within the coffin of the flesh. Supine and cremated like a corpse within its grave I pray thee come. Come unto me O’ sacred Death And chase the radiance that alights the fixed cruciform; Ye holy sigil that grounds me betwixt darkness and light. Remove these nails with shrouded hands, That the serpent may come down from the crux And return to the nullity of the abyss. Come unto me O’ sacred Death and wake me to thy vision, Blessed attendant draped in winding-cloths of bleeding shadow, Menacing in torpid and silent vigil, Knelt in sermon upon my chest. Pluck from my chest the clay-born heart And make communion of its ebb. Take from me my breath that I may speak your words And take from me the light from my eyes that I may see the darkness. Bath me in thy shadow and fill my wounds with the light of resurrection. |

3. | Nightbringer - The Grave-Earth’s Son | 05:05 | Show lyrics |
Listen ye unto the untamable tempest That quiver the gravemount on this eve. The mysterium exhumed at the dismal shriek of Death’s untimely exclamation. Where the thorn-blessed flock of Shemyaza led me to the gloom of the Holy murderer’s noose as he who in pride wears the mark of lawless passion. To hang in led-black secrecy, to fall into the depths of the spectral oracle and pluck the twisted sigils of Hel’s rat-torn arcana, all within Erebus’ sun-blotting silence. And from this inverted elevation bless the blackest soil with my soul’s mercurial seed, the marrow of my dreams shed at the ninth bell’s strike, In a death-rattle or a weird cry of ghoulish lechery. To saturate the damp dungeon beneath, that the matrix of sepulchral transformation may give birth to Unnature’s malformed godchild. My Will made manifest, my shape deified in abnormalities unbearable for all senses, Hidden in the grave-earth’s occultation. And only but for tthe Shadow’s black dog to uncover, he who pass the archon’s perilous gates at the crossroads of interstellar pathways. Yet at the clamor of the Dragon’s opened eye, shall even he fall lifeless down as I reach out to steal the fire of divine destiny. Yes, I seize my self-made self, the sacred offering of my wretched and withered persona and let It suckle from my heart’s rubine fountain. The life-blood of Adam’s kin coursing through the phantasmal trenches made clay, yet boiling from pleromal Fire - this I give as fodder for the one secret son of Belial and my recalled atavistic awakening. |

1. | Nightbringer - Watchtower of the West: Gate of the Mighty Dead | 07:53 | Show lyrics |
“Darkness is a path, a secret swirling river, where the lidded eye opens to ancient dreams. The dusk is a door, a coffin of stone, which I have dressed my soul in moldered flesh to enter. Cloaked in decay, the world falls into the gloom of barren earth and my Shadow drowns the temple behind me. Yet I am not fallen, but hidden. I am Flame amid waters of disturbance and desolation. Transgressing, not sinking. Marching across Night, through the depths of doom and decadence, I am Star masked with skin and scalps of gods. A riddled truth sweeping between the shores of ghosts’ hollow cries. Concealing lock upon lock within the old Serpent’s chambers with thunderbolt words, I am Turning and Becoming in Dying, an endless Dawn unseen by Day.” I face the West and in adoration I hail the setting Sun That Falls upon the ramparts of the Watchtower of Death and Dreams To enter verily into the DEATH’s mansion and in might hermitage illumine The autumnal thorn-path towards Midnight The labyrinth of crimson dusk To pass through the entrance of the underworld And be changed by ordeal Praise thee, O dying Sun! Praise thee, O Fallen One! Hoary as the earthen grave to which you have come Wise in your ancient aspect As thy elder epithet By relinquishing unto DEATH. Another ingress beget Imperator at the Watchtower Of DEATH and of Dreams By the Western road towards Great Midnight The Fallen Star gleams! Burnishing the skies with crimson and gold Turning lead black as thy burning wings doth unfold Enter the Earth, enter the Grave And hearken now forth towards ancestors mighty and brave Infernal Lampadiphor Psychopomp self-slain With hell-mouth billows Kindle the forge-fires of Cain And speak now his name! And speak now his name! Noctifer rise! From the felled corpse self-slain! In congress at crossed roads A new form obtained In casket and tomb The sepulchral King now ordained Go forth now as DEATH’s wayfarer Upon the crooked road of bane Tread the thorn-path towards Great Midnight To enter Death’s fane! |

2. | Nightbringer - Watchtower of the North: Ascension of the Midnight-Sun | 05:46 | Show lyrics |
“See, there shines a torch amid the graveyard of heaven’s assembly, a spark in the weary pupilla of Oblivion. Awake in the kingdoms of primordial slumber and steadfastly alight in hollowed space. A burning meteor cast into the waters of the underworld, as a Fire ripen in Shade and bloomed in Tartarus’ mire.” “See, I am a Secret star drunk on and drenched in the blood of the Dragon’s heart, pulsating within the depths of Eternity. A black glistening eye that pierces through the borders of Sequence and Form. For I am the Bringer of Night enthroned at the centre of all Darkness, luring with of the riddled Light of all lights.” Praise thee, O Midnight-Sun! Praise thee, O Hidden One! Towards the Heights within the Depths Rise and become! By the left-hand of reaping And words without breath Self-crown thee with Night’s diadem Within the Temple of Death Enshrined in Deep Midnight DEATH and life the self-same The candle of wisdom |Betwixt the black horns of twain And speak now his name! And speak now his name! Ye have become DEATH! The All-slaying athame O Lord of Deep Midnight The Sun of Black Flame! The crux of the High Sabbath Night’s power untamed Hail to Thee Light of that Sun which shineth bright at Midnight’s hour, in the night of body’s senses overturned, withdrawn in silence of the tomb. Laid bare beneath the Daimon’s glance, which pierceth sharp as any lance the centre of my flaming heart. |

3. | Dødsengel - Watchtower of the East: Horus Sunflesh | 05:29 | Show lyrics |
He is risen, bornless one. He is risen, the fiery child. He is risen, the star of wormwood. He is risen, the herald of dawn. He is risen, who avenged his father. Hi is risen, to conquer. I lie in submissive adoration before the eastern gate. The triumphal arch of the sol invictus As the twilight eclipses the isolation of night A momentous storm of fire and force shatters the dust of illusory conceptions as I beheld the self-creation of RA! THE WILLED BIRTH OF A GOD! The circumference has created the center. The all has crowned itself with the point. As my gaze is fixed, doubt has been conquered by sight. |

4. | Dødsengel - Watchtower of the South: Drunk upon Inmost Fire | 12:38 | Show lyrics |
I have been given the flesh of the sun to eat, and the milk of the moon to drink. I have pressed through the long night and been reborn through the realms of dissolution. As a lone wanderer have I been lost in the unfathomable desert, the wastes of desolation, and I have won my way. It is the time of the great reaping. The great infernal star shines from its peak upon MY earth, as I claim my destined reward. For now I am the lover of Ahator, Mistress of inebrity without end. For now I am the ascending child, draped in the cloak of fire! My ascent become me, its holy flames tear away my I. In this DEATH, this moment of moments. In naked splendour as time stands still. The past seems the life of another. The journey of a fool clad in many colours. Yet upon this parzival, and those before him have I kindled my fresh leaping fire. By those I were have I built my temple. As I aspire with pure intent towards and beyond my starry throne, the temple of now must become a stone in the foundations of something infinitely greater. The moment of truth. The shattering of masks and mirrors. The rendering of the last veil: REALITY TREMBLES AS THE CHILD GOD IS DRUNK UPON INMOST FIRE. |

Asael, descend from High Eden! From Abyss to the Sun Down the Bright Serpent - Towards the Dragon of Nun Within the Night of Black Eden - Towards Death I would bow Illumed by the flames of a trident - To pierce the Mark of my brow To become as lampadiphor - Of a great fallen spark From a star Luciferous - To illumine paths dark Lucifer - Messiach! - Guardian of the Second Tree O perilous Star of the Morning! - Darken my plea!

In Death’s holy silence I call you God above me, God below me By Neither, Neither, myself unseen God within and God beyond me Reflected in these mirrors darkly God above me, God below me By Neti, Neti, a faceless face God within and God beyond me You abysmal rift in the fabric of being Ungraspable shadow, devour me As I open my eyelids for your gnashing teeth And fill the hollows with blackest dreams "For his art did express A quintessence even from nothingness, From dull privations, and lean emptiness; He ruin’d me, and I am re-begot Of absence, darkness, death: things which are not" [John Donne - Nocturnal upon St. Lucy’s Day] Coil about me and breathe my new name Self above me, Self below me Plow earth into abyss and reap its bitter grain Absence within me, Presence beyond me And your naked splendor has carved open the pathway Into wonders of the howling night and the twist of the moon Where the dead awakens to the call of serpentine cherubim To fall ever deeper and deeper into their tombs Restructure the dried out bones of the world And fill its dried out veins with your word A promise of everything I will come to be The Nothing within me and the All beyond me! |

5. | I Am the Gateway | 07:32 | Show lyrics |
At the barren edge of the silence of Night ’neath the snare where the snake sheds its skin Where the rivers of our strangest dreams collide I ventured into the wilderness of Death’s awakening To seek for that which all others abhor On a road that defies the course of the world With the blood of my heart seal the fated oath At the point where all moments unfurl I chance my all for everything other My soul unto you, demon and brother Into the circle where eye must meet eye With the one who is all that I am not And the Night is but all that lies in-between Where sown is my Self’s seed Within the torn tome of destiny All secrets are tied to none strangling noose That’s solved and rebound upon the Gallows hill’s top And in a storm of peacock-feathered bliss Shall strange new wine fall into my cup For between the cold fingers fetching sense Falls golden sparks and the fallen angels’ seed That flows into the core of crossroads Where all paths crooked and narrow must lead Doorways unlocked, chalice overturned I slit the jaded throat that sings the wretched world And dive into the instant, the void of your face Where the veins of God opens beneath my lightning bolt blade The hour is struck, the time is at hand To rewrite the rhymes that our cruel fate once planned O Devil and God, on your road I embark For we are bound everlasting by pact, birth and a murderer’s mark |

...And I dreamt of libricide and fire A flaming pyramid opening the desert nights Flaring letters in mad laughter swirling across the sky Like screeching simurghs unchained That stole the keys right out of St. Peter’s hand To dare the borders to forgotten lands Shine you terrible lamp of Wisdom Shine upon the desert fields of night Shine within flesh and blackest mire For my tongue has a dire taste for fire Fallen into the wastelands of our dreams Where I’m wildered unto the forbidden gleam Of Azazel’s burning sacrament and sword So descend upon these lands, Estrangement’s Lord! Throw me into the depths where you once fell To be accursed and blessed within the springs of Hell To pass outside the route of heaven’s stars And die to the yoke of heaven’s law I’ve become something I’ve never dreamt of before My words all burnt within your unearthly torch My name re-written in your blazing winds And known is the secret of Shemyazaz’ sin "O Nimbus of a daimonic crown, blaze forth across eternity... For me! The night is wholly mine and in Death’s kiss it is sealed Where light and darkness conjoin, I have buried my Will towards expanses impossible And opened the road unto where thoughts bow before: Red, Holy, Chaos-flame." |

8. | The Witchfires of Tubal-Qayin | 07:43 | Show lyrics |
"May you be the firebrand of the furnace of the earth..." Come ye Sons of Celestial Fire, - Descend as of Olde! To mix your seed with mortal kind and sire unlawful progeny divine. As unto Qayin, at crossed-roads three, - The bloodline of wisdom, pass unto me. For with this, my sacrifice, self unto Self, I am led Into the Witching Fire of Tubal-Qayin! Come ye Daughters of Ancient Night, - Arise and behold! The path of the Blessed Serpent bright, - Fallen from heaven’s black light. As unto Calmena, at crossed roads three, - The bloodline of wisdom, pass unto me. For with this, my sacrifice, self unto Self, I am led To imbibe the envenomed Graal of Lilith! "In the brazen Citadel, in the Hall of Flames, I call upon Thee, Goat-Angel of the Golden Horns, Master of the Primal Fire, AZAZEL-QAYIN, appear in Thy brilliance! O flame breathing Daemon and Wizardly Smith, Who forgest the iron weapons of victorious liberation, Hearken to me, who am of Thy cunning seed, - The hidden house of AZAZEL!" [Nigel Jackson - The Masks of Misrule] From the bellow’s breath, the flame is born, - That tempers the blade, forged by the Lord. The hammer strikes to shape the blade true, - Through furnace and flame born anew, Wielded now with steady left hand, - To pierce the hearts of woman and man. All Hail, Sword of Judgment, cut to the core, - Strike fear in your enemies, Sword of War! Rise, O Flame, ever higher, - Burn to ashes all within this pyre At the Forge of Tubal-Qayin. Come ye Children of forgotten Gods born, - Recall what was told! The promise made in gardens of Eld, - When with the Wise Serpent, converse was held. As with Seth, upon the Olde Serpent’s Tree, - The fourth road of wisdom, shall set me free. For with this my sacrifice, self unto Self, I am led To embrace Death, the Master’s revelation! A conflagration of All, yet within detritus most foul arises - A crown and a might beyond Law! Unum adversas omnia, the Opposer’s path revealed, All-Otherness resolved and in One Thing sealed. |

"The mind of the Father named all things in threes" "...all things have been generated from One Fire." "Source of Sources, the womb which contains the All." "Above all, let the priest himself who governs the works of fire, be sprinkled with the icy billow of the deep-roaring sea." [The Chaldean Oracles] What is this wind of black fate - That guides me and carries me on? So steeped in the Devil’s earth - So far from the fane of sun, A voice in the darkness, - In irremeable fathomless depths The black, the living darkness inside me - Is Death! Yet as distant as elder stars, - Whose once brilliant flames are long dead A paradoxical inverse light - No sun ever shed It calls me it names me "No-one" - With silent sepulchral breath So I name Him the "All" and the "No-thing" - Within the Garden before the elders of Seth The shade of Abel arises before me, - ’Neath the blood stained right hand of Qayin And his left hand is pointing - Towards the sacred plot of the slain Oh, ineffable guardian and guide - My dream veiled daemon of other As one we were born of the Devil - And Eld Night our majestic mother I am myself! I wish to be other! Crown me with thorns, - ’Neath great spiraling horns Three nails to affix our fate - Upon the cross betwixt evening and morn Let the seal of ever-becoming - Be now rended and torn And to the daemon within - A new pact is sworn "Self" I name thee - My shadow veiled brother Yet no name can be given - To that which is other My Fate - My will - My heart - You fill - With light - Beyond light - A flame like the night My lord - My love - My god - Above - My angel - That - Is naught - Answer my call My Darkness - My sea - Of black - Eternity - Becoming - In darkness - A will - To be free A self - Becoming - Other - Than self - My otherness - That - I dream - And die to become "For the mortal who has approached the Fire will possess the light from God" "Those who, by inhaling, drive out the soul, are free." "For in this triad the Father has mixed every breath." "...keep silent initiate." [The Chaldean Oracles] |

Time turns like great serpent scales Here in the darkness And Sophia coils As lost in deep fever dreams And she sings such strange songs Through the corridors of this temple Where unknown shadows move unseen And here I turn through a thousand coats of flesh and bone Whilst drinking from her lips Staring entranced into moving vacant eyes And sinking ever down into the moon blood sea... Forsake me! Those of the depths have claimed me as their own Those that whisper and mock In backwards blackness Those whose secrets bleed All sanity Cold And if they call I must follow Down through these tunnels Endlessly deep Where flickers unholy distant light Yet he who shall claim it shall then no longer be me A jaw moves behind the demon mask Poisoned tongues drawn across the scarlet fields Forming, deforming and twisting the world Twisting the goddess sunk in psychotic sleep Yet there beneath the tidal waves Of mad ophidian sights The scales crack and wither For a new hidden light The whirlpool of nightmare Shall wash the tunnels clean Beyond sleep and waking Alarmed shall we rise to behold reality |

By the movements beyond the surface And as my breath flees into another world Its shadow twin pours over to ours My soul is drained in a chalice of abandonment As I inhale the essence of Samael Separation, be my guiding star! In the tunnel of the left hand Where all decrees shall burn! The painful ones in the periphery Proclaim the death of god Lightless! Through abodes of desolation Deeper, deeper! Downward the broken ladder To face the essence of the baneful beast And draw it into my blood As I burn in the fires of noxious poison! Towards the everlasting Step by step down the broken ladder I follow this stranger light A torch for the impure Through tunnels and tunnels and tunnels Below, below, below! |

We are as wolves amongst ruins! Oh, ye sons of Apollo crowned Whose final rays depart Safeguard thy Father’s embers In the sanctum of thy heart And stand unbent Unbroken in storms untamed And let the winds Stir your embers to blazing flames! We are as wolves amongst ruins! Oh, ye sons of Apollo horned Whose inferno now shines in the Hell Bear witness to the end An Aeon’s death-knell Our final jubilation shall be in the tolling of its bell ! Morse Triumphalis We who arise within our fall Oh, ye sons of Apollo horned Whose inferno now shines in the Hell Bear witness to the end An Aeon’s death-knell As wolves among ruins As wrathful gods amongst decay Before the gates in Hell The sword of Justine bequeathed to slay as wolves among ruins As revenants of Father’s past Hearts darkened with the light A black sun doth cast "who is worthly of the name of man ?" Who does not want to be tested and does not look for a dangerous task? For the strong man inaction is torture. There is only one sight able to command the attention even of a god..." -Seneca Stand unbent Unbroken in stormns untamed And let the winds Stir your embers to blazing-flames! We are as wolves amongst ruins! A cycle ends Yet we stand in the night depraved To salute the dawn While flling to our graves.. |

By day seek the heights of the sun And by midnight its abode in hell, Where we are drunk upon the blood-wine That spills from the grape wine Of old Dionysus well I behold self in the black of the moonless night, Another death, another doom to foretell! To old Baphomet I proffer this life Shedding blood and a dark soul to sell ! Misrule! Misrule! Oh , how wise is the fool Of empty spaces Barren places The Devil’s illumination Misrule! Misrule! Oh how wise is the fool Of empty spaces Desolation The Devil’s exaltation By Night we seek the sun in its nadir And by day its glorious heights As we glut upon the sacrament Offered up by self-interment Within the intellect of Old Night I beseech the Other, my reflection, My brother, another life, Won through strife and the toll of Death’s bell ! Before Persephone I ground all dismay And make a paradise of the grandeur of hell ! Misrule! Misrule! Oh,how wise is the fool Of empty spaces Barren places The Devil’s illumination Misrule! Misrule! Oh,how wise is the fool Of empty spaces Desolation The Devil’s Exaltation Towards the gate of the Zeroth Thrust imafination’s divine key like the spear of saint longinus To pierce the body of his highness And let his blood run endlessly free To fall unto me!

Behold the key and crossed bones, behold the hidden path Behold a sun abloom within the uttermost black As spirit returns to spirit and flesh to the worm and the hole I was born of the father and him with my mother I go |

A - Zeroth Born of I Dark Sabaoth In you I die Inverse light Of my soul Black as night Death extolled Phantasmagoric fear ekstasis Though art bornless, faceless, and pleaceless The resounding silence is your name This thy word, thy form and fane Absence of presence Presence of absence A - Zeroth Born of naught Speak the name No tongue has wrought With sightless sight I behold The living night The blackest gold Absence of presence Presence of absence In nullity and stillness Your profound sentience Ceremented in divine dread The long shadows of god-head Trailing through these depths Behind horizon spanning steps O intellect of naught Bornless yet born in me O otherless The emptiness In me! Hekas! Phantasmagoric fear ekstasis Hekas! Faceless, bornless nad pleaceless Hekas! The resounding silence that is your name Hekas! This thy word, thy form and fane O absence of presence Presence of absence In nullity and stillness Your profound sentience Ceremented in divine dread The long shadow of god-head Trailing through these depths Behind horizon spanning steps O intellect of night! |

6. | Inheritor of a Dying World | 06:38 | Show lyrics |
Inheritor of a dying world Wanderer in the wild darkness Enter now this shadowed path The affliction of Saturnus grips the heart In leaden chains Inherit a world of dust! Here is no solace, no earth-born respite For those who bear the serpent’s mark O companion of the fetid tomb Foul specter, of the greedy grave Inheritor of a dying world Enter now this shadowed path To seek the light Dost thou find hope in works of mortality? Art thou awed by matter’s seeming might? Behold! The fruition of long ages toil A paradise for fools!! The earth aswarm With maggot man and tottering in ruin! The gates of death swing wide in fateful glory Greeting the throngs of pallid life’s abortion The affliction of Saturnus grips the heart In leaden chains Inherit a world of dust! Here is no solace, no earth-born respite For those who bear the serpent’s mark Inheritor of a dying world Inheritor of a dying world... Arise, and greet the dawning light of Phosphoros |

"For body’s sleep became the soul’s awakening, and closing of the eyes - true vision" Awake my void-drunk eyes Amidst the tumult of filth and rats Awake amidst the waves of dismal Lethe And behold in truth at last Sunk and sunk and sunk have I Into skin and sin and sleep Yet this wasteland has revealed a gate And my heart holds its key O pierce the webs of dream Pierce my cold lifeless heart Nightbringer, lightbringer Infernal firstborn spark Ignite my funeral altar And let me rise like the dawn From the dregs of darkest ignorance To the blinding light of your throne So grant me now that sacred drink From the spring of memory Grant me those secret songs That shall lull the stars to sleep And when the night falls blackest in the slumbering underground Shall my woken soul take flight On the rays of the serpent sun I dance in maddest fervor Ever backwards through death’s door And beneath my hooves of steel Break the masks that I once wore O, see how bright it burns That fire for which I seek That the faces of angels boil off and their ashes sing its majesty! Praise thee! Mystery! The muses of the ogdoad! That thine secret psalmody Paeon! Apollon! Speak through me thine prophecy! Higher and higher! Beyond the seven I shall reach Blind my sight with gold and blood and lapis lazuli Deeper and deeper! Into the very heart of the sun Below the shadows fall in multitude but here the light is one |

All secrets first lie below Down beyond the sinking corporal houses, into the depths, across the abyss into vacuous black Unto the other shore so far beyond the reaches of the flesh, beyond time The Phosphorus blaze the heavenly jewel of thy crown illuminates this kingdom beyond the veil of death The pillars of its gnosis rising before my host And with a single word and the breath of flame, I bring forth the Dawn Let the wary weep as slumber turns to death Let the earth smolder and heave as the Golden Pillars rise |

May the waters swallow them all These blind and ruined souls, who wander aimlessly within the labyrinthine walls of pitch The Black River swells to receive them Oh, great lake of sorrow.

Let the prism that binds your celestial light be now shattered Lord of the Earth and the Forge. Oh, Midnight Sun. Come Forth |

Lumial, Prince of the Earth. Who shall hear thy words? When the earth splits beneath thy shadow and mountains crumble at thy passing... When the lakes, rivers and seas are poisoned by thy tongue... When the dying sun is swallowed within thy terrible maw, Who shall harken unto thee and be counted amongst thy children and thy mighty council? Who shall see as thou doth see, with the eyes of the Serpent, as the man of the earth is pierced, torn and bathed in flame, his ashes scattered by the breath of thy divine word Who shall be born upon angelic wings, raven black, through the nighted arches of Solomon’s Gate? Lumial, Throat of Oroborous. Swathed in locust winds, and storms of thunder and flame Who shall stand before thy glory? Who shall wade with thee through oceans of blood to receive baptism under the crimson skies of Megiddo? Who shall revere thy Name as the tremendous clamor of Vulcan’s clarion resounds and star after star falls burning to the earth? Lumial, Usher of the Dawn. From clay to flesh, from flesh to flame, let us be crowned with thy crown! Let our celestial wings close about thee as we ascend into starless night enshrining thy emerald radiance above the burning earth Lumial, Serpent of Heaven. Who shall become as thee, and be counted amongst the stars? In the shadow of thy mighty wings we shall walk upon the corpses of man Across blasted wastes, through fetid rivers of poison and blood And fields of husks and bone Bearing the Serpent’s chalice Within which the blood of our blood and the seed of our seed shall know union Into the loins of the daughters of Quayin Shall this libation be poured And from wombs divine shall a new age be born Oh, Lumial! Lord of the Burning Aeon! Blessed be thy name! |

Behold, he whose ebon nimbus blots out the face of god He who weaves the Lethean spirit about the dying hearts of man He who art the Black Dawn raised to enfold the earth within starless pitch Concealing the splendors of heaven Arch- glutton who feasts upon the flesh of infancy with prolicidal hunger Imperator of beguilement and the unbroken dream whose gramarge hath entangled my being alow the soporic waters From my somnolence I now stir, for through the pathways of thy hidden vestiges unveiled Within this sweven underdark, I have gained the Gateway of Dawn, and I awaken Arisen that I may behold thee, O’ puissant lord, with eyes unveiled And thy Name with the first first breath of life At which thy gates are thrown wide, baring me no longer from thy high-sealed sovereignty Verify I come forth in tempest, crowed with flames and a vest of unyielding night Betwixt the houses of slumber and awakening, to slay thee with the adamant spears of my tongue And usurp thy palace of death, sealing myself within thy star-fire throne Resplendent above My wings unfurling sable across the blazing heavens As I consume my brood in bounty Satiating the hunger of a god |

I set the flaming eye of Algol upon my brow And ride forth upon sepulchral fog with serpents and shades Under the thousand eyes of Night and her black wings And where I pass birds fall from the sky and soil is salted With arboreal haunts on which every tree hangs a wailing man I commune and learn the Gospel of the Fall I nail the Ravens Head upon the oak at the crossroads of death And see with hollowed eyes what the earth has swallowed I hear the cries of what still rots within its belly I smell decay and the spoiling of the flesh, the incense of the dead And I behold the Gate. All secrets first lie below Down beyond the sinking corporal houses, into the depths, across the abyss into vacuous black Unto the other shore so far beyond the reaches of the flesh, beyond time The Phosphorus blaze the heavenly jewel of thy crown illuminates this kingdom beyond the veil of death The pillars of its gnosis rising before my host And with a single word and the breath of flame, I bring forth the Dawn Let the wary weep as slumber turns to death Let the earth smolder and heave as the Golden Pillars rise |

The River Lethe The Raven sears above as the Serpent stirs below And cancerous wombs vomit forth black prodigies before the throne of Saturn Behold, These children born with wounded eyes, severed tongues and the death veil adorned Who slither upon their bellies towards the Black Sun, flesh withering within the light All rot, ruin and decay. Below, blood stained lips wet pious hands in sermon of silence and slumber This is the Fall. A choir of dying children upon the ramparts The River of Blood flows once more And the starving of a thousand begins anew the great feast for the One The stricken crawl forth wailing towards the raging streams of chaos Unto the gluttony of the Devouring Maw. May the waters swallow them all These blind and ruined souls, who wander aimlessly within the labyrinthine walls of pitch The Black River swells to receive them Oh, great lake of sorrow. The sea of slumber in which the weak and weary are cast In which all within struggle for breath with no respite. Poison is what the breathe Within the depths of sorrow all shall drown and be undone |

Long have I suffered within the boundless desert of Solitude Long have I tread upon this crocked path. Trough Shadow and Flame Flame and Shadow. Tribulation upon tribulation. Guided by the serpent beneath my feet and the Black head of Gnosis. To the burial place of our Father whom we doth name Azael, the Shackled One. He who lies imprisoned within the depths of the Cauldron of God, his chains Doth bind us all. Ye, ineffable black diamond that can not be seen nor held but with the eyes And with the maw of the Draconian seion. My blood has whispered the lost names of your sons and daughters. Those fierce broods of my ancestry begotten trough the wombs of whoredom And Angelic desire. Whose smitten flesh released black daemons upon the haunts of the Earth I speak now their names, scribe now their forms and call forth from the lineage of the Blood of the Tiller. Wielder of Flame. May he immolate the clay that swathes my soul And illuminates the fathoms below the pillars of heaven around which the coils of our Lord doth twine Let the sands now shift and the desert awake as the unutterable Name is scorched upon my tongue Arise in me Black Winged Angel. Let the prism that binds your celestial light be now shattered Lord of the Earth and the Forge. Oh, Midnight Sun. Come Forth |

Lumial, Prince of the Earth. Who shall hear thy words? When the earth splits beneath thy shadow and mountains crumble at thy passing... When the lakes, rivers and seas are poisoned by thy tongue... When the dying sun is swallowed within thy terrible maw, Who shall harken unto thee and be counted amongst thy children and thy mighty council? Who shall see as thou doth see, with the eyes of the Serpent, as the man of the earth is pierced, torn and bathed in flame, his ashes scattered by the breath of thy divine word Who shall be born upon angelic wings, raven black, through the nighted arches of Solomon’s Gate? Lumial, Throat of Oroborous. Swathed in locust winds, and storms of thunder and flame Who shall stand before thy glory? Who shall wade with thee through oceans of blood to receive baptism under the crimson skies of Megiddo? Who shall revere thy Name as the tremendous clamor of Vulcan’s clarion resounds and star after star falls burning to the earth? Lumial, Usher of the Dawn. From clay to flesh, from flesh to flame, let us be crowned with thy crown!

All secrets first lie below Down beyond the sinking corporal houses, into the depths, across the abyss into vacuous black Unto the other shore so far beyond the reaches of the flesh, beyond time The Phosphorus blaze the heavenly jewel of thy crown illuminates this kingdom beyond the veil of death The pillars of its gnosis rising before my host And with a single word and the breath of flame, I bring forth the Dawn Let the wary weep as slumber turns to death Let the earth smolder and heave as the Golden Pillars rise |

Come unto me Seraphim de Sopor Sec ulum I offer my flesh and blood that I may pluck a feather from the wings of the Angel of Death May it be a quill with which I scribe the forms of thy sacred names From the sanguine of my heart and open the gates to the labyrinth beyond slumber and death Relinquishing my corporeal form to shadow as I will pass beyond in luminous form With serpent tongue I summon those shades that would taste of the gifts of the living I, psychopomp to the agape of the stygian maze But one star shines tenebrous upon these colossal depths Nefarious pulsing Daemon’s Head, risen in culmination above the atramentous wastes Sup upon these vestments I cast away, oh shambling eidolons and shadow forms of murk and drear And lay bare the knowledge unbegotten of any god I ride the currents of Erebus upon ebon wings into aphonic gulfs unending As a star new born I have become A beacon in the abyss |

4. | Of Silence and Exsanguination | 10:01 | Show lyrics |
Release the blood I fall through the earth and am inhumed within the dark beyond Descending in the throes of the two-fold death unto the corrosive pools of Tartarus below Wherein my being writhes and gasps Before this supreme gate which no consciousness may pass Flesh is scorned and blood is offered with both hands upraised Double Serpent of a thousand eyes gaze upon me now Tear my being asunder in thy winds of your mighty will Let my life flow out from me unto the yawning pitch Crimson to black, fluid to flame. Unto the hunger of the eternal storm Let my fall be the fall of all men. May the blood of humankind flow out from these wounds Falling in ruined form deprived of all essence Immersed within the depths of the black ebb Sinking into nothing |

5. | The River Lethe | 07:12 | Show lyrics |
The River Lethe The Raven sears above as the Serpent stirs below And cancerous wombs vomit forth black prodigies before the throne of Saturn Behold, These children born with wounded eyes, severed tongues and the death veil adorned Who slither upon their bellies towards the Black Sun, flesh withering within the light All rot, ruin and decay. Below, blood stained lips wet pious hands in sermon of silence and slumber This is the Fall. A choir of dying children upon the ramparts The River of Blood flows once more And the starving of a thousand begins anew the great feast for the One The stricken crawl forth wailing towards the raging streams of chaos Unto the gluttony of the Devouring Maw. May the waters swallow them all These blind and ruined souls, who wander aimlessly within the labyrinthine walls of pitch The Black River swells to receive them Oh, great lake of sorrow. The sea of slumber in which the weak and weary are cast In which all within struggle for breath with no respite. Poison is what the breathe Within the depths of sorrow all shall drown and be undone |

6. | Beneath the Sands of Dudael | 14:05 | Show lyrics |
Long have I suffered within the boundless desert of Solitude Long have I tread upon this crocked path. Trough Shadow and Flame Flame and Shadow. Tribulation upon tribulation. Guided by the serpent beneath my feet and the Black head of Gnosis. To the burial place of our Father whom we doth name Azael, the Shackled One. He who lies imprisoned within the depths of the Cauldron of God, his chains Doth bind us all. Ye, ineffable black diamond that can not be seen nor held but with the eyes And with the maw of the Draconian seion. My blood has whispered the lost names of your sons and daughters. Those fierce broods of my ancestry begotten trough the wombs of whoredom And Angelic desire. Whose smitten flesh released black daemons upon the haunts of the Earth I speak now their names, scribe now their forms and call forth from the lineage of the Blood of the Tiller. Wielder of Flame. May he immolate the clay that swathes my soul And illuminates the fathoms below the pillars of heaven around which the coils of our Lord doth twine Let the sands now shift and the desert awake as the unutterable Name is scorched upon my tongue Arise in me Black Winged Angel. Let the prism that binds your celestial light be now shattered Lord of the Earth and the Forge. Oh, Midnight Sun. Come Forth |

7. | Caudua Draconis - Azra Lumial | 10:45 | Show lyrics |
Lumial, Prince of the Earth. Who shall hear thy words? When the earth splits beneath thy shadow and mountains crumble at thy passing... When the lakes, rivers and seas are poisoned by thy tongue... When the dying sun is swallowed within thy terrible maw, Who shall harken unto thee and be counted amongst thy children and thy mighty council? Who shall see as thou doth see, with the eyes of the Serpent, as the man of the earth is pierced, torn and bathed in flame, his ashes scattered by the breath of thy divine word Who shall be born upon angelic wings, raven black, through the nighted arches of Solomon’s Gate? Lumial, Throat of Oroborous. Swathed in locust winds, and storms of thunder and flame Who shall stand before thy glory? Who shall wade with thee through oceans of blood to receive baptism under the crimson skies of Megiddo? Who shall revere thy Name as the tremendous clamor of Vulcan’s clarion resounds and star after star falls burning to the earth? Lumial, Usher of the Dawn. From clay to flesh, from flesh to flame, let us be crowned with thy crown! Let our celestial wings close about thee as we ascend into starless night enshrining thy emerald radiance above the burning earth Lumial, Serpent of Heaven. Who shall become as thee, and be counted amongst the stars? In the shadow of thy mighty wings we shall walk upon the corpses of man Across blasted wastes, through fetid rivers of poison and blood And fields of husks and bone Bearing the Serpent’s chalice Within which the blood of our blood and the seed of our seed shall know union Into the loins of the daughters of Quayin Shall this libation be poured And from wombs divine shall a new age be born Oh, Lumial! Lord of the Burning Aeon! Blessed be thy name! |

An Irregular liberation of menstria to poison the heart of Sothis As Akhekh devours the moon the Word of Truth is assailed once more And thus the Circle broken Saturn enters the subterranean mansion Of a dread star whose course arcs through the nadir of the abyss Then rises from the underworld To be reborn as the blazing black flame of the Lord Enemy Whose illumination is Death |

3. | Serpent of the Midnight Sun | 08:56 | Show lyrics |
Sept-Dracronic star raised in culmination above the dying earth, at each point a devil crowned with a hundred blazing suns, like so many flaming spear points born from black oceans of naught. Sidereal phantasmagoric host heralded from the abyss by the resonance of the first cosmic Utterance. Fulgurous princes of tribulation enshrined upon thrones of burning horns, seated above visages of fury and scorn, the seven faces of the Devourer who slithers through the black between the stars. I pray before the yawning maws of gluttonous ruin, the divinity that shall swallow the heavens and sunder the earth drowning all within the infinite ocean of darkness. I give praise unto the seven daimons of the abyss, the earth, and the twilight of this aeon’s end. The lidless gaze of the Eye of Typhon, an ebon igneous orb suspended within the dark immensity of empty cosmos falls upon me. The Autarch of the First and of the Last awakens within me and I know attainment of the heights within the voidal perfection of deep Tehom. |

"I" am the seed that must die in the earth. My surname is Drakon and I exhale my spirit two-fold under the sign of the Raven’s Skull. Oh, igneous venom, I ingest thee from the fiery chalice of the Coiled One beneath a tumultuous sky of flame shed mercurial tears. May the Blooded Lion lay upon the sulfur that is my disgorge and be stayed by the poisons of my toil. Shackled in a coffin of Iron, heated within the flames of the Forge of the Ebon Sun. I seek the Magisterium through the gates of immolation. Sable daimons of the Gate of Horns be not unfamiliar, for I have slain thy brothers of the ivory pass with the reaving athame of Mort. The earth trembles with the resonance of the waking Devil’s breath and the harvests burn and locusts gather with the opening of his eyes. Six spheres hat become thrawled under the baleful sign of Saturn. Seven sisters in conjunction wail the name of God and Quayin’s black winged host exanguinates the moon. Seven trumpets resounding, the raging Theullai hath been freed from the abyss. Seven seals are breaking, disinterred Titans rise. Seven gates are opening, seven spheres of flame, I upturn the seventh chalice, and pass beyond the Seventh gate. | |||

Thy wound is the fount of the profound abyss The grail from which I sate the thirst of black gnosis I tast of all offerings from thy table and thy cup And dance in jubilation as darkness in apotheosis forms And enter now the world. |

I am I Apothosis crowned with a black sun nimbus Of seven Immolating rays Risen from a sea of cacophony and darkness And invested within starless night With the left hand stir the serpent Who slumbers before the throne of Ariemanios Awaken! Seven storm clouds of Typhonian winds Ten horns to rend! Poison for poison Confound hymn of praise Omega, Upsilon, Omicron, Iota, Eta, Epsilon, Alpha From this sphere shines black illumination! From this sphere comes wrathful fire! Ebon Izevaot Rush towards the children of man with the hand of Gadriel And with the stroke Kasyade, strike the womb of the genetrix I am I |

2. | Supplication Before the Throne of Tehom | 07:04 | Show lyrics |
Tehomat Coil thy form above me And guild me with seventy horns As I rise from thy black sea temple And pass back through the gates of Death and the Abyss To copulate with the Fates And extinguish the stars with my hands All stars but one With serpents jaws I feast upon the face of god And drink the wine of his heart I rend and burn his form And unleash a deluge Of blood from his wounds To drown the world of man Sphagia of the highest divinity I give to a throne so utterly low And from the chalice of Geh I pour the dark shadow of time. An Irregular liberation of menstria to poison the heart of Sothis As Akhekh devours the moon the Word of Truth is assailed once more And thus the Circle broken Saturn enters the subterranean mansion Of a dread star whose course arcs through the nadir of the abyss Then rises from the underworld To be reborn as the blazing black flame of the Lord Enemy Whose illumination is Death |

3. | Serpent of the Midnight Sun | 08:56 | Show lyrics |
Sept-Dracronic star raised in culmination above the dying earth, at each point a devil crowned with a hundred blazing suns, like so many flaming spear points born from black oceans of naught. Sidereal phantasmagoric host heralded from the abyss by the resonance of the first cosmic Utterance. Fulgurous princes of tribulation enshrined upon thrones of burning horns, seated above visages of fury and scorn, the seven faces of the Devourer who slithers through the black between the stars. I pray before the yawning maws of gluttonous ruin, the divinity that shall swallow the heavens and sunder the earth drowning all within the infinite ocean of darkness. I give praise unto the seven daimons of the abyss, the earth, and the twilight of this aeon’s end. The lidless gaze of the Eye of Typhon, an ebon igneous orb suspended within the dark immensity of empty cosmos falls upon me. The Autarch of the First and of the Last awakens within me and I know attainment of the heights within the voidal perfection of deep Tehom. |

4. | Upturning the Seventh Chalice | 07:01 | Show lyrics |
"I" am the seed that must die in the earth. My surname is Drakon and I exhale my spirit two-fold under the sign of the Raven’s Skull. Oh, igneous venom, I ingest thee from the fiery chalice of the Coiled One beneath a tumultuous sky of flame shed mercurial tears. May the Blooded Lion lay upon the sulfur that is my disgorge and be stayed by the poisons of my toil. Shackled in a coffin of Iron, heated within the flames of the Forge of the Ebon Sun. I seek the Magisterium through the gates of immolation. Sable daimons of the Gate of Horns be not unfamiliar, for I have slain thy brothers of the ivory pass with the reaving athame of Mort. The earth trembles with the resonance of the waking Devil’s breath and the harvests burn and locusts gather with the opening of his eyes. Six spheres hat become thrawled under the baleful sign of Saturn. Seven sisters in conjunction wail the name of God and Quayin’s black winged host exanguinates the moon. Seven trumpets resounding, the raging Theullai hath been freed from the abyss. Seven seals are breaking, disinterred Titans rise. Seven gates are opening, seven spheres of flame, I upturn the seventh chalice, and pass beyond the Seventh gate. | |||

Mouth of Semhazia rise up from the earth. Threat of sulfur and fire, I cast myself abject into thy Furnace of Triibulation. Prince of the Earth’s Inferno anoint my flesh and b urn this carnal prison of decay. Lay me bare upon the lake of fire and baptize me within its scorching waves. Execution of the body of Eden’s clay. Trial of the body of light and of the dark, the pillar betwixt the heights and the abyss. Draconic axis mundi! The Furnace is the Forge, and the Forge is the quintessence of the Swallowed Sun, a Sun that shines within the depths of Hell and illumes the gates beyond the Pleroma. | |||

I upturn the chalices of flesh upon the serpent laden altars Of Ophion’s wrathful aspect and lay vigorously From the gathering vermilion pools, Beneath the blood-born caul, Shrouded within the shades of Nehemoth I bare the funeral lamp down the corridors Of Somnus’ spiraling tomb And trespass beyond his muted gates To stand before the dim throne of Moth That I may drink from the cup of his left hand the sacred wine of the abyss. Death-grail of sulfur and serpent-blood poison That slays the body and eclipses the soul. I shall drink the essence of the Drakon And in death be inhumed and reborn. |

Ophion, expel me, into the chthonic depths beyond celestial illuminations, that I may call upon the tempests and summon the Fates of gather about me. Reborn, I unfurl my coils before the deep throne of God, nighted and inversed and rise from his oceanic temple. Shedim, enshrine me in my fury as I call upon the Storm and draw up Leviathan. | |||

And I shall place in thee pneumata akatharta, that we may gain the gnosis born of fire, earned in strife and woe and become Legion, or in fire be consumed and diminish. Into fathoms of infinitesimal dark these words shall cast thee down. Only the radiance of Heosphorus’ infernal orb shall grant thee vision to return from the black of Sheh-ohl. Ye, serpent marked, know new form and harken onto the high-seat of Dawn, to stand before the golden throne of Helel. He who sits enshrined in fury between the might of Gog and Magog, resplendent before the Daimonium. |

Through what way and by what means did though pass, oh black winged Kasb’el? Through tribulation and strife ten-thousand fold or ways nighted and unknown did thou ascend? Virile was thy respass unto the atrium of the Catholicon. Glorious was thy theft...long was thy fall. Cast upon flame and pitch, forbanned and bound Aoratos! The NAME silence, and unspoken...

I set the flaming eye of Algol upon my brow And ride forth upon sepulchral fog with serpents and shades Under the thousand eyes of Night and her black wings And where I pass birds fall from the sky and soil is salted With arboreal haunts on which every tree hangs a wailing man I commune and learn the Gospel of the Fall I nail the Ravens Head upon the oak at the crossroads of death And see with hollowed eyes what the earth has swallowed I hear the cries of what still rots within its belly I smell decay and the spoiling of the flesh, the incense of the dead And I behold the Gate. All secrets first lie below Down beyond the sinking corporal houses, into the depths, across the abyss into vacuous black Unto the other shore so far beyond the reaches of the flesh, beyond time The Phosphorus blaze the heavenly jewel of thy crown illuminates this kingdom beyond the veil of death The pillars of its gnosis rising before my host And with a single word and the breath of flame, I bring forth the Dawn Let the wary weep as slumber turns to death Let the earth smolder and heave as the Golden Pillars rise |

I set the flaming eye of Algol upon my brow And ride forth upon sepulchral fog with serpents and shades Under the thousand eyes of Night and her black wings And where I pass birds fall from the sky and soil is salted With arboreal haunts on which every tree hangs a wailing man I commune and learn the Gospel of the Fall I nail the Ravens Head upon the oak at the crossroads of death And see with hollowed eyes what the earth has swallowed I hear the cries of what still rots within its belly I smell decay and the spoiling of the flesh, the incense of the dead And I behold the Gate. All secrets first lie below Down beyond the sinking corporal houses, into the depths, across the abyss into vacuous black Unto the other shore so far beyond the reaches of the flesh, beyond time The Phosphorus blaze the heavenly jewel of thy crown illuminates this kingdom beyond the veil of death The pillars of its gnosis rising before my host And with a single word and the breath of flame, I bring forth the Dawn Let the wary weep as slumber turns to death Let the earth smolder and heave as the Golden Pillars rise |

We dance with the denizens of the charnel ground in the glow of the funeral pyre beneath the black arch of desolate night. We are the skull-bearers who would dare to sound the thigh-bone trumpets to call forth our murdering shadows. May their darkness eat at our flesh and thresh the profane body from subtle bones. We are the consumers and we are the consumed. We offer the horrid oblations of our skin. We offer the dread libations of the blood of our hearts. We sate Death‟s shadow, that which ever hungers. We call forth unclean eidolons. Husks of self. Come ye forth from dens of inner depravation. As we swirl in maddening frenzy through the midnight marshes to awake them in their ravenous and desperate hunger. Our horns beseech the very Lord of Death to drive his trident through the three chambers of our existence. In throws of ecstatic death we rend the fabric of the world. To gaze with a fixed serpent iris into the darkness that is beyond darkness. Oh Devi, without knowledge of thy power liberation is mere mockery! Oh Devi-L, without knowledge of thy power liberation is mere mockery! Speech of the Slaying Tongue. Black breath of fire. Burning wind of my mouth. Raising shadow from pyre. My self-murdering darkness. Oh, famished ones come. Heed the winds of dread will. Hear the call of my tongue. Fire as breathe I utter my end. Bringing shadows of death to gnash and to rend! |

2. | Eater of the Black Lead | 07:55 | Show lyrics |
Inexorable Death! Thine eminence above man is the very countenance of the Devil. I would make an altar of thine aspect. I would speak thy true name with an act of silence. I would come to be before thee by way of stillness and the Serpent eye, that I might know baptism within thy waters. Death is thy name, yet I name thee God, for there is no other. To thee I give my body like fodder to the grave and offer breath that hath become as the Serpent‟s hiss. I exhale from my mouth the flame of an inner fire, the greater “I” becoming, and let my husk be filled with the wine of the abyss. I am the child of death and dreams who passes beyond death and dreams. Consummation with thy essence, I shall consume mine own death until I hath become the conqueror of death, the Eater of the Black Lead. I am the lampadiphor within the hidden chambers shinning with profound darkness. I am within Death and Death is within me. | |||

Psychagogoi Gooi - I am the threne singer - Psychagogoi Gooi - whose song rouses death. Psychagogoi Gooi - All gnosis is learned - Psychagogoi Gooi - by the grave. Psychagogoi Gooi – I am the voice - Psychagogoi Gooi - of the tomb. Psychagogoi Gooi - Lament priest. Psychagogoi Gooi. Hermit of darkness I am the threne singer whose song rouses Death from shadows. She partakes in my revere, and joins with me in cantor and in verse. For I am her muse, the sojourner of tomb incubation. Swathed in grave soil, ash and the shifting shadows of dusk. I wail my threnody with the sepulchral tongue of goetia, and open the gates of twilight to bare the tunnels of Night. It is here that in hymn I proclaim myself Death‟s neophyte and brave a black ocean that knows no shores. I am the dirge harpist whose song brings Death into my heart. She partakes of my flesh and joins with me in the stilling of the breath. For she is my gate the black ship upon the shore of my ascension. |

4. | Lucifer Trismegistus | 05:08 | Show lyrics |
Woe unto ye who aspire not unto the magistry of Death! Ye are as food for the gods. Behold the Great Opposer, thou who art as Death! Oh that I may become at one with mine „otherness‟ of being. I seek the smagdarine crown jewel of the victorious conqueror of Eden, Lucifer Trismegistus, Janus-faced daimon. Thou who gazeth upon the Dark Abyss of Silence, Vast Depth of Nothingness, Great Void of Light beyond Light. Oh Highest One, Great Devourer, Universal Solvent, may I become at one with Thee! Bring forth the Flame that cracks the clay and tears the soul to unite the deathless spirit with Death itself. Illuminate me with a scourge of burning cinders that strikes me with the causeless liberty of Thine unfathomable fantasy. The draconian perfection born from thy boundless rebellion. Yea, the Lie that speaks the Truth! For to enter Thine steeping gulf is to rise unto and usurp the Throne of the highest. So may the inverted star that is Thine reflection boil my eyes until formless vision is given, oh ye dazzling burner of shades and extinguisher of the fallen sparks. Godless God, Traceless pilgrim of the Abyss, Nimbus of subterranean suns – Guide me to Thy bottomless peaks! | |||
5. | The Gnosis of Inhumation | 06:09 | Show lyrics |
Death be my hierophant! Lay bare the paths to the precipice. I would endure the torment of black Eden‟s thorn strewn paths of ingress. I would bask in the shadow of the Tree of Death and pluck such terrible fruits from its vines to taste of their soma. I seek entrance to the Death-Mother‟s womb. I am compelled towards her chasm which entraps and destroys all light and forms. Oh matron of the aphotic and primordial night! Thou art manifest and un-manifest, point of paradox. Thou art the darkness of empty sky and the glutinous hollows of the earth, bloated with corpses and slaked on blood-seed. I would enter with thee into fatal copulations. In wrath, pray you scourge my flesh and burn your gnosis upon my heart until my heart is naught but flame. Black Illuminatrix! May I shine with brilliance within your darkness, from which my own shadow may arise, cast across your form, a shadow that might endure in the absence of the radiant moment of its own becoming. I desire to be washed within the streams of the counter-current, within the provenance that heaves with the dispersion of forms. To drink of the lentor of this chasm is to drink the libation of the Devil‟s grail, for to sate ones thirst from this cup is to gain the burning pathway that trespasses beyond the binding circle of all eminences of an other. Only then may one upraise one‟s hands towards the image of the Great Opposer and pass through the mirror to become one with the reflection that hath become one‟s own, one‟s absolute divinity. | |||
6. | The Angel of Smokeless Fire | 07:10 | Show lyrics |
Oh merciless Titan! I direct my vision upon Thy terrible glare, that our sight may conjoin as one. For I have crawled out from the wombgrave of silent serenity, rested my burning tongue in the cold waters of oblivion and placed a skull atop the staff of my ascension. Cloaked in starless night have I journeyed upon the mare of shadow, across mountains made of childrens’ bones unto the saturnian springs where I washed the face off my soul. Soundless there, I plunged my sword into the knot of existence. With eyes covered in salt I beheld the Angel of smokeless fire, singing wordless hymns through the chthonian winds, piercing his voice through my chest, void of heart, to awaken the pole unto which all iniquity is drawn. Pulsating with death-like vigor, I there was crowned upon a tomb crowded with the glimmering reflections upon the lunar lakes. Eye gleaming with ancient terror stolen from the Abysmal sparks that dance above my anointed brow. The Throne of shameless murder be my seat, under which weight even the burden of life is crushed. Devouring the Word of reason to spew it into the bowels of the great Dragon, so that I may become Dumah – The angel of the silence of death, spreading the fourfold wings of solar Darkness across the blind mass called ALL. |

7. | Dreaming Above the Sepulcher | 05:08 | Show lyrics |
All hymns are hollow, unheard outside the gate of in-between and unbeknown fall like wounded birds from the heavens back unto the supplicant. Thus I slumber upon the threshold of death and dream the dreams of gods. It is here that I have sung my hymns into the mouths of the dead, that they may not rise but fall down and down through the chambers of slumber and unto the darkness of death‟s ingress. Lamentation and evocations in the same cadence, resounding like the songs of Thessalian witches. And with bones snatched from the maws of ravening dogs I have mocked the cathedral‟s mason, constructing an ill house of darkness mirrored within the birdless lake, a black mansion of dreaming Night. Within these dolente lands where the Incubi abound, I have chased the children of the psalm-singers from cyprus to tomb and jugulated them one by one. In my visions I have spilled the haimakuria within graven trenches dug by my nails from cemetery marle. I would dare to do more. I would will to go further. I would sit opposite the Lord of Slumber, face down turned to gaze upon the cascading abyss. I would hear truths unspoken and un-scribed within silence. I would place death‟s crown upon my head and intone my will in a tongue of stygian threnodies, with cacophonous and mournful wails upon nightmare choruses of dying lepers falling before their graves. I would draw the gaze of my daemon self upon myself that I may murder myself and become my daemon, and move ever closer towards the incalculable totality of the Great Darkness that is the Supreme. | |||
8. | Via Tortuosa | 06:26 | Show lyrics |
The perfected will of the sojourner of the serpent‟s path is the will of Lucifer crowned, triumphant. It is the fulgurous diamond resplendent above the crowns of gods. Rapt in the burning catharsis of this enigma, feed all fears and desires to the flames of a rising conflagration of the soul, in a rite of self-immolation, a sacrament of cleansing fire. The flesh is the furnace of sacrifice that bathes the dark of the abyss in brilliant illumination so that one may behold the very face of the Devil who in turn is God, who in turn is “I”, engendered by naught but the radiance of the Absolute. Through the successions of descending chambers, chase the shadow of thy deific self through the sins of innumerable trespasses. Pit thyself against the Black. Let all violations be devoid of revulsion and adoration that they may conquer and seal the quintessence of their elemental forces within the “I”. The evocation and possession of all transgressions, sins and passions is a means to claim the Serpent‟s tongue one‟s own, with which one might proclaim “I am!” in fulmination before all pantheons. The naked will of the perfected sorcerer is the anathema of god, for the nimbus of immutable being engulfs all divinities like a radiant inferno casting a deathly shadow across the face of the world. | |||
9. | Old Night | 07:55 | Show lyrics |
Thou hermit of Old Night who wadest into the turbulence of the waters un-drowned, who verily enters into death‟s magisterium without fear, thou whose toil is the ineffable work of the abyss that draws forth the all slaying solve, thou art amongst the deathless race of the kingless, beyond the provenance of god. In the light of Lucifer‟s dawn, thy shadow casts long and dim before thee. In the pitch of Noctifer‟s saturnine night thy shadow is the very face of the abyss. Oh vajra-hearted lord enthroned within the silence between the birth and death of every thought, in thronismos within the shadowed temple at the crux of the cruciform! Yet shall the very abyss of thought be wholly illuminated by the gleam from thy morningstar lantern, the fruit plucked from the deepest root. To guide the pandemonion of self unto the scarlet hill of martyrdom, upon the path that even devas are cursed to tread. Thou hast withdrawn the husks of the most bitter seed and the garments from the gods themselves, to reach the hypostasis that is a black pearl dazzling the 7 aeons. Betwixt the hammer and anvil of becoming is thy presence eternal that is in between-ness known as N.O.X. Self-murderer and Self-begetter, with eyes fixed unto the cup of Djemscheed, thou breakest the chains forged by stellar gravity. Oh, the motionless movement of Death! With both the soberness of the Amethyst and the mad Satyr’s ecstatic thirst, leap ye forth into the Mandala’s center – The Point where sun and moon collide, crushed to lifeless splinters before ancient Night’s hollow eye. | |||

9. | Old Night | 07:55 | Show lyrics |
Thou hermit of Old Night who wadest into the turbulence of the waters un-drowned, who verily enters into death‟s magisterium without fear, thou whose toil is the ineffable work of the abyss that draws forth the all slaying solve, thou art amongst the deathless race of the kingless, beyond the provenance of god. In the light of Lucifer‟s dawn, thy shadow casts long and dim before thee. In the pitch of Noctifer‟s saturnine night thy shadow is the very face of the abyss. Oh vajra-hearted lord enthroned within the silence between the birth and death of every thought, in thronismos within the shadowed temple at the crux of the cruciform! Yet shall the very abyss of thought be wholly illuminated by the gleam from thy morningstar lantern, the fruit plucked from the deepest root. To guide the pandemonion of self unto the scarlet hill of martyrdom, upon the path that even devas are cursed to tread. Thou hast withdrawn the husks of the most bitter seed and the garments from the gods themselves, to reach the hypostasis that is a black pearl dazzling the 7 aeons. Betwixt the hammer and anvil of becoming is thy presence eternal that is in between-ness known as N.O.X. Self-murderer and Self-begetter, with eyes fixed unto the cup of Djemscheed, thou breakest the chains forged by stellar gravity. Oh, the motionless movement of Death! With both the soberness of the Amethyst and the mad Satyr’s ecstatic thirst, leap ye forth into the Mandala’s center – The Point where sun and moon collide, crushed to lifeless splinters before ancient Night’s hollow eye. | |||

We dance with the denizens of the charnel ground in the glow of the funeral pyre beneath the black arch of desolate night. We are the skull-bearers who would dare to sound the thigh-bone trumpets to call forth our murdering shadows. May their darkness eat at our flesh and thresh the profane body from subtle bones. We are the consumers and we are the consumed. We offer the horrid oblations of our skin. We offer the dread libations of the blood of our hearts. We sate Death‟s shadow, that which ever hungers. We call forth unclean eidolons. Husks of self. Come ye forth from dens of inner depravation. As we swirl in maddening frenzy through the midnight marshes to awake them in their ravenous and desperate hunger. Our horns beseech the very Lord of Death to drive his trident through the three chambers of our existence. In throws of ecstatic death we rend the fabric of the world. To gaze with a fixed serpent iris into the darkness that is beyond darkness. Oh Devi, without knowledge of thy power liberation is mere mockery! Oh Devi-L, without knowledge of thy power liberation is mere mockery! Speech of the Slaying Tongue. Black breath of fire. Burning wind of my mouth. Raising shadow from pyre. My self-murdering darkness. Oh, famished ones come. Heed the winds of dread will. Hear the call of my tongue. Fire as breathe I utter my end. Bringing shadows of death to gnash and to rend! |

Inexorable Death! Thine eminence above man is the very countenance of the Devil. I would make an altar of thine aspect. I would speak thy true name with an act of silence. I would come to be before thee by way of stillness and the Serpent eye, that I might know baptism within thy waters. Death is thy name, yet I name thee God, for there is no other. To thee I give my body like fodder to the grave and offer breath that hath become as the Serpent‟s hiss. I exhale from my mouth the flame of an inner fire, the greater “I” becoming, and let my husk be filled with the wine of the abyss. I am the child of death and dreams who passes beyond death and dreams. Consummation with thy essence, I shall consume mine own death until I hath become the conqueror of death, the Eater of the Black Lead. I am the lampadiphor within the hidden chambers shinning with profound darkness. I am within Death and Death is within me. | |||

Psychagogoi Gooi – I am the voice - Psychagogoi Gooi - of the tomb. Psychagogoi Gooi - Lament priest. Psychagogoi Gooi. Hermit of darkness I am the threne singer whose song rouses Death from shadows. She partakes in my revere, and joins with me in cantor and in verse. For I am her muse, the sojourner of tomb incubation. Swathed in grave soil, ash and the shifting shadows of dusk. I wail my threnody with the sepulchral tongue of goetia, and open the gates of twilight to bare the tunnels of Night. It is here that in hymn I proclaim myself Death‟s neophyte and brave a black ocean that knows no shores. I am the dirge harpist whose song brings Death into my heart. She partakes of my flesh and joins with me in the stilling of the breath. For she is my gate the black ship upon the shore of my ascension. |

4. | Lucifer Trismegistus | 05:08 | Show lyrics |
Woe unto ye who aspire not unto the magistry of Death! Ye are as food for the gods. Behold the Great Opposer, thou who art as Death! Oh that I may become at one with mine „otherness‟ of being. I seek the smagdarine crown jewel of the victorious conqueror of Eden, Lucifer Trismegistus, Janus-faced daimon. Thou who gazeth upon the Dark Abyss of Silence, Vast Depth of Nothingness, Great Void of Light beyond Light. Oh Highest One, Great Devourer, Universal Solvent, may I become at one with Thee! Bring forth the Flame that cracks the clay and tears the soul to unite the deathless spirit with Death itself. Illuminate me with a scourge of burning cinders that strikes me with the causeless liberty of Thine unfathomable fantasy. The draconian perfection born from thy boundless rebellion. Yea, the Lie that speaks the Truth! For to enter Thine steeping gulf is to rise unto and usurp the Throne of the highest. So may the inverted star that is Thine reflection boil my eyes until formless vision is given, oh ye dazzling burner of shades and extinguisher of the fallen sparks. Godless God, Traceless pilgrim of the Abyss, Nimbus of subterranean suns – Guide me to Thy bottomless peaks! | |||
5. | The Gnosis of Inhumation | 06:09 | Show lyrics |
Death be my hierophant! Lay bare the paths to the precipice. I would endure the torment of black Eden‟s thorn strewn paths of ingress. I would bask in the shadow of the Tree of Death and pluck such terrible fruits from its vines to taste of their soma. I seek entrance to the Death-Mother‟s womb. I am compelled towards her chasm which entraps and destroys all light and forms. Oh matron of the aphotic and primordial night! Thou art manifest and un-manifest, point of paradox. Thou art the darkness of empty sky and the glutinous hollows of the earth, bloated with corpses and slaked on blood-seed. I would enter with thee into fatal copulations. In wrath, pray you scourge my flesh and burn your gnosis upon my heart until my heart is naught but flame. Black Illuminatrix! May I shine with brilliance within your darkness, from which my own shadow may arise, cast across your form, a shadow that might endure in the absence of the radiant moment of its own becoming. I desire to be washed within the streams of the counter-current, within the provenance that heaves with the dispersion of forms. To drink of the lentor of this chasm is to drink the libation of the Devil‟s grail, for to sate ones thirst from this cup is to gain the burning pathway that trespasses beyond the binding circle of all eminences of an other. Only then may one upraise one‟s hands towards the image of the Great Opposer and pass through the mirror to become one with the reflection that hath become one‟s own, one‟s absolute divinity. | |||
6. | The Angel of Smokeless Fire | 07:10 | Show lyrics |
Oh merciless Titan! I direct my vision upon Thy terrible glare, that our sight may conjoin as one. For I have crawled out from the wombgrave of silent serenity, rested my burning tongue in the cold waters of oblivion and placed a skull atop the staff of my ascension. Cloaked in starless night have I journeyed upon the mare of shadow, across mountains made of childrens’ bones unto the saturnian springs where I washed the face off my soul. Soundless there, I plunged my sword into the knot of existence. With eyes covered in salt I beheld the Angel of smokeless fire, singing wordless hymns through the chthonian winds, piercing his voice through my chest, void of heart, to awaken the pole unto which all iniquity is drawn. Pulsating with death-like vigor, I there was crowned upon a tomb crowded with the glimmering reflections upon the lunar lakes. Eye gleaming with ancient terror stolen from the Abysmal sparks that dance above my anointed brow. The Throne of shameless murder be my seat, under which weight even the burden of life is crushed. Devouring the Word of reason to spew it into the bowels of the great Dragon, so that I may become Dumah – The angel of the silence of death, spreading the fourfold wings of solar Darkness across the blind mass called ALL. |

7. | Dreaming Above the Sepulcher | 05:08 | Show lyrics |
All hymns are hollow, unheard outside the gate of in-between and unbeknown fall like wounded birds from the heavens back unto the supplicant. Thus I slumber upon the threshold of death and dream the dreams of gods. It is here that I have sung my hymns into the mouths of the dead, that they may not rise but fall down and down through the chambers of slumber and unto the darkness of death‟s ingress. Lamentation and evocations in the same cadence, resounding like the songs of Thessalian witches. And with bones snatched from the maws of ravening dogs I have mocked the cathedral‟s mason, constructing an ill house of darkness mirrored within the birdless lake, a black mansion of dreaming Night. Within these dolente lands where the Incubi abound, I have chased the children of the psalm-singers from cyprus to tomb and jugulated them one by one. In my visions I have spilled the haimakuria within graven trenches dug by my nails from cemetery marle. I would dare to do more. I would will to go further. I would sit opposite the Lord of Slumber, face down turned to gaze upon the cascading abyss. I would hear truths unspoken and un-scribed within silence. I would place death‟s crown upon my head and intone my will in a tongue of stygian threnodies, with cacophonous and mournful wails upon nightmare choruses of dying lepers falling before their graves. I would draw the gaze of my daemon self upon myself that I may murder myself and become my daemon, and move ever closer towards the incalculable totality of the Great Darkness that is the Supreme. | |||
8. | Via Tortuosa | 06:26 | Show lyrics |
The perfected will of the sojourner of the serpent‟s path is the will of Lucifer crowned, triumphant. It is the fulgurous diamond resplendent above the crowns of gods. Rapt in the burning catharsis of this enigma, feed all fears and desires to the flames of a rising conflagration of the soul, in a rite of self-immolation, a sacrament of cleansing fire. The flesh is the furnace of sacrifice that bathes the dark of the abyss in brilliant illumination so that one may behold the very face of the Devil who in turn is God, who in turn is “I”, engendered by naught but the radiance of the Absolute. Through the successions of descending chambers, chase the shadow of thy deific self through the sins of innumerable trespasses. Pit thyself against the Black. Let all violations be devoid of revulsion and adoration that they may conquer and seal the quintessence of their elemental forces within the “I”. The evocation and possession of all transgressions, sins and passions is a means to claim the Serpent‟s tongue one‟s own, with which one might proclaim “I am!” in fulmination before all pantheons. The naked will of the perfected sorcerer is the anathema of god, for the nimbus of immutable being engulfs all divinities like a radiant inferno casting a deathly shadow across the face of the world. | |||

I am the lampadiphor within the hidden chambers shinning with profound darkness. I am within Death and Death is within me. | |||

Psychagogoi Gooi - I am the threne singer - Psychagogoi Gooi - whose song rouses death. Psychagogoi Gooi - All gnosis is learned - Psychagogoi Gooi - by the grave. Psychagogoi Gooi – I am the voice - Psychagogoi Gooi - of the tomb. Psychagogoi Gooi - Lament priest. Psychagogoi Gooi. Hermit of darkness I am the threne singer whose song rouses Death from shadows. She partakes in my revere, and joins with me in cantor and in verse. For I am her muse, the sojourner of tomb incubation. Swathed in grave soil, ash and the shifting shadows of dusk. I wail my threnody with the sepulchral tongue of goetia, and open the gates of twilight to bare the tunnels of Night. It is here that in hymn I proclaim myself Death‟s neophyte and brave a black ocean that knows no shores. I am the dirge harpist whose song brings Death into my heart. She partakes of my flesh and joins with me in the stilling of the breath. For she is my gate the black ship upon the shore of my ascension. |

4. | Lucifer Trismegistus | 05:08 | Show lyrics |
Woe unto ye who aspire not unto the magistry of Death! Ye are as food for the gods. Behold the Great Opposer, thou who art as Death! Oh that I may become at one with mine „otherness‟ of being. I seek the smagdarine crown jewel of the victorious conqueror of Eden, Lucifer Trismegistus, Janus-faced daimon. Thou who gazeth upon the Dark Abyss of Silence, Vast Depth of Nothingness, Great Void of Light beyond Light. Oh Highest One, Great Devourer, Universal Solvent, may I become at one with Thee! Bring forth the Flame that cracks the clay and tears the soul to unite the deathless spirit with Death itself. Illuminate me with a scourge of burning cinders that strikes me with the causeless liberty of Thine unfathomable fantasy. The draconian perfection born from thy boundless rebellion. Yea, the Lie that speaks the Truth! For to enter Thine steeping gulf is to rise unto and usurp the Throne of the highest. So may the inverted star that is Thine reflection boil my eyes until formless vision is given, oh ye dazzling burner of shades and extinguisher of the fallen sparks. Godless God, Traceless pilgrim of the Abyss, Nimbus of subterranean suns – Guide me to Thy bottomless peaks! | |||
5. | The Gnosis of Inhumation | 06:09 | Show lyrics |
Death be my hierophant! Lay bare the paths to the precipice. I would endure the torment of black Eden‟s thorn strewn paths of ingress. I would bask in the shadow of the Tree of Death and pluck such terrible fruits from its vines to taste of their soma. I seek entrance to the Death-Mother‟s womb. I am compelled towards her chasm which entraps and destroys all light and forms. Oh matron of the aphotic and primordial night! Thou art manifest and un-manifest, point of paradox. Thou art the darkness of empty sky and the glutinous hollows of the earth, bloated with corpses and slaked on blood-seed. I would enter with thee into fatal copulations. In wrath, pray you scourge my flesh and burn your gnosis upon my heart until my heart is naught but flame. Black Illuminatrix! May I shine with brilliance within your darkness, from which my own shadow may arise, cast across your form, a shadow that might endure in the absence of the radiant moment of its own becoming. I desire to be washed within the streams of the counter-current, within the provenance that heaves with the dispersion of forms. To drink of the lentor of this chasm is to drink the libation of the Devil‟s grail, for to sate ones thirst from this cup is to gain the burning pathway that trespasses beyond the binding circle of all eminences of an other. Only then may one upraise one‟s hands towards the image of the Great Opposer and pass through the mirror to become one with the reflection that hath become one‟s own, one‟s absolute divinity. | |||

1. | The Angel of Smokeless Fire | 07:10 | Show lyrics |
Oh merciless Titan! I direct my vision upon Thy terrible glare, that our sight may conjoin as one. For I have crawled out from the wombgrave of silent serenity, rested my burning tongue in the cold waters of oblivion and placed a skull atop the staff of my ascension. Cloaked in starless night have I journeyed upon the mare of shadow, across mountains made of childrens’ bones unto the saturnian springs where I washed the face off my soul. Soundless there, I plunged my sword into the knot of existence. With eyes covered in salt I beheld the Angel of smokeless fire, singing wordless hymns through the chthonian winds, piercing his voice through my chest, void of heart, to awaken the pole unto which all iniquity is drawn. Pulsating with death-like vigor, I there was crowned upon a tomb crowded with the glimmering reflections upon the lunar lakes. Eye gleaming with ancient terror stolen from the Abysmal sparks that dance above my anointed brow. The Throne of shameless murder be my seat, under which weight even the burden of life is crushed. Devouring the Word of reason to spew it into the bowels of the great Dragon, so that I may become Dumah – The angel of the silence of death, spreading the fourfold wings of solar Darkness across the blind mass called ALL. |

2. | Dreaming Above the Sepulcher | 05:08 | Show lyrics |
All hymns are hollow, unheard outside the gate of in-between and unbeknown fall like wounded birds from the heavens back unto the supplicant. Thus I slumber upon the threshold of death and dream the dreams of gods. It is here that I have sung my hymns into the mouths of the dead, that they may not rise but fall down and down through the chambers of slumber and unto the darkness of death‟s ingress. Lamentation and evocations in the same cadence, resounding like the songs of Thessalian witches. And with bones snatched from the maws of ravening dogs I have mocked the cathedral‟s mason, constructing an ill house of darkness mirrored within the birdless lake, a black mansion of dreaming Night. Within these dolente lands where the Incubi abound, I have chased the children of the psalm-singers from cyprus to tomb and jugulated them one by one. In my visions I have spilled the haimakuria within graven trenches dug by my nails from cemetery marle. I would dare to do more. I would will to go further. I would sit opposite the Lord of Slumber, face down turned to gaze upon the cascading abyss. I would hear truths unspoken and un-scribed within silence. I would place death‟s crown upon my head and intone my will in a tongue of stygian threnodies, with cacophonous and mournful wails upon nightmare choruses of dying lepers falling before their graves. I would draw the gaze of my daemon self upon myself that I may murder myself and become my daemon, and move ever closer towards the incalculable totality of the Great Darkness that is the Supreme. | |||

3. | Via Tortuosa | 06:26 | Show lyrics |
The perfected will of the sojourner of the serpent‟s path is the will of Lucifer crowned, triumphant. It is the fulgurous diamond resplendent above the crowns of gods. Rapt in the burning catharsis of this enigma, feed all fears and desires to the flames of a rising conflagration of the soul, in a rite of self-immolation, a sacrament of cleansing fire. The flesh is the furnace of sacrifice that bathes the dark of the abyss in brilliant illumination so that one may behold the very face of the Devil who in turn is God, who in turn is “I”, engendered by naught but the radiance of the Absolute. Through the successions of descending chambers, chase the shadow of thy deific self through the sins of innumerable trespasses. Pit thyself against the Black. Let all violations be devoid of revulsion and adoration that they may conquer and seal the quintessence of their elemental forces within the “I”. The evocation and possession of all transgressions, sins and passions is a means to claim the Serpent‟s tongue one‟s own, with which one might proclaim “I am!” in fulmination before all pantheons. The naked will of the perfected sorcerer is the anathema of god, for the nimbus of immutable being engulfs all divinities like a radiant inferno casting a deathly shadow across the face of the world. | |||
4. | Old Night | 07:55 | Show lyrics |
Thou hermit of Old Night who wadest into the turbulence of the waters un-drowned, who verily enters into death‟s magisterium without fear, thou whose toil is the ineffable work of the abyss that draws forth the all slaying solve, thou art amongst the deathless race of the kingless, beyond the provenance of god. In the light of Lucifer‟s dawn, thy shadow casts long and dim before thee. In the pitch of Noctifer‟s saturnine night thy shadow is the very face of the abyss. Oh vajra-hearted lord enthroned within the silence between the birth and death of every thought, in thronismos within the shadowed temple at the crux of the cruciform! Yet shall the very abyss of thought be wholly illuminated by the gleam from thy morningstar lantern, the fruit plucked from the deepest root. To guide the pandemonion of self unto the scarlet hill of martyrdom, upon the path that even devas are cursed to tread. Thou hast withdrawn the husks of the most bitter seed and the garments from the gods themselves, to reach the hypostasis that is a black pearl dazzling the 7 aeons. Betwixt the hammer and anvil of becoming is thy presence eternal that is in between-ness known as N.O.X. Self-murderer and Self-begetter, with eyes fixed unto the cup of Djemscheed, thou breakest the chains forged by stellar gravity. Oh, the motionless movement of Death! With both the soberness of the Amethyst and the mad Satyr’s ecstatic thirst, leap ye forth into the Mandala’s center – The Point where sun and moon collide, crushed to lifeless splinters before ancient Night’s hollow eye. | |||

O’ sacred Death, guide me across the precipice To show me the splendors of the Void, Come unto me O’ sacred Death, hypostasized angel of my dreams. In hypnogogic midnight’s burial sanctum interned, I lay within the coffin of the flesh. Supine and cremated like a corpse within its grave I pray thee come. Come unto me O’ sacred Death And chase the radiance that alights the fixed cruciform; Ye holy sigil that grounds me betwixt darkness and light. Remove these nails with shrouded hands, That the serpent may come down from the crux And return to the nullity of the abyss. Come unto me O’ sacred Death and wake me to thy vision, Blessed attendant draped in winding-cloths of bleeding shadow, Menacing in torpid and silent vigil, Knelt in sermon upon my chest. Pluck from my chest the clay-born heart And make communion of its ebb. Take from me my breath that I may speak your words And take from me the light from my eyes that I may see the darkness. Bath me in thy shadow and fill my wounds with the light of resurrection. |

3. | Nightbringer - The Grave-Earth’s Son | 05:05 | Show lyrics |
Listen ye unto the untamable tempest That quiver the gravemount on this eve. The mysterium exhumed at the dismal shriek of Death’s untimely exclamation. Where the thorn-blessed flock of Shemyaza led me to the gloom of the Holy murderer’s noose as he who in pride wears the mark of lawless passion. To hang in led-black secrecy, to fall into the depths of the spectral oracle and pluck the twisted sigils of Hel’s rat-torn arcana, all within Erebus’ sun-blotting silence. And from this inverted elevation bless the blackest soil with my soul’s mercurial seed, the marrow of my dreams shed at the ninth bell’s strike, In a death-rattle or a weird cry of ghoulish lechery. To saturate the damp dungeon beneath, that the matrix of sepulchral transformation may give birth to Unnature’s malformed godchild. My Will made manifest, my shape deified in abnormalities unbearable for all senses, Hidden in the grave-earth’s occultation. And only but for tthe Shadow’s black dog to uncover, he who pass the archon’s perilous gates at the crossroads of interstellar pathways. Yet at the clamor of the Dragon’s opened eye, shall even he fall lifeless down as I reach out to steal the fire of divine destiny. Yes, I seize my self-made self, the sacred offering of my wretched and withered persona and let It suckle from my heart’s rubine fountain. The life-blood of Adam’s kin coursing through the phantasmal trenches made clay, yet boiling from pleromal Fire - this I give as fodder for the one secret son of Belial and my recalled atavistic awakening. |

Your radiance betrayed my eyes- I fail to read the acid letters on your Crown I raise my Sword and on your starlit Belly I scorch Your Title: Lilitu Tonight my Wand reminds me of your Tongue, consuming fire. Tonight your Womb reminds me of Gehenna, consuming light. I am your serpentine lover and you are my Cthonic Whore: L.A.Y.L.A.H Let your HAIR cover the Universe. Let our KIN trample the mortal Thrones. Hail, Layil, Mistress of the Deep - your uterus is the Gate: Eternal Return וּפָגְשׁוּ צִיִּים אֶת-אִיִּים, וְשָׂעִיר עַל-רֵעֵהוּ יִקְרָא; אַךְ-שָׁם הִרְגִּיעָה לִּילִית, וּמָצְאָה לָהּ מָנוֹח |

Reverence for the Scarlet Goddess Akkawbishia Lilith enshrine me, your devotional descendant, to pierce the black moon. Awake me from this tomb, to be reborn. Obsess me with the wisdom of shapesifting, ignite me in your astral fires. Zachalilim, Zachalilim, Zachalilim. I offer thee, the opfers of cosmic nothingness, to unseal the gates of death. Immortally curse this empty shell until I embrace freedom. |

O’ sacred Death, guide me across the precipice To show me the splendors of the Void, Come unto me O’ sacred Death, hypostasized angel of my dreams. In hypnogogic midnight’s burial sanctum interned, I lay within the coffin of the flesh. Supine and cremated like a corpse within its grave I pray thee come. Come unto me O’ sacred Death And chase the radiance that alights the fixed cruciform; Ye holy sigil that grounds me betwixt darkness and light. Remove these nails with shrouded hands, That the serpent may come down from the crux And return to the nullity of the abyss. Come unto me O’ sacred Death and wake me to thy vision, Blessed attendant draped in winding-cloths of bleeding shadow, Menacing in torpid and silent vigil, Knelt in sermon upon my chest. Pluck from my chest the clay-born heart And make communion of its ebb. Take from me my breath that I may speak your words And take from me the light from my eyes that I may see the darkness. Bath me in thy shadow and fill my wounds with the light of resurrection. |

3. | Nightbringer - The Grave-Earth’s Son | 05:05 | Show lyrics |
Listen ye unto the untamable tempest That quiver the gravemount on this eve. The mysterium exhumed at the dismal shriek of Death’s untimely exclamation. Where the thorn-blessed flock of Shemyaza led me to the gloom of the Holy murderer’s noose as he who in pride wears the mark of lawless passion. To hang in led-black secrecy, to fall into the depths of the spectral oracle and pluck the twisted sigils of Hel’s rat-torn arcana, all within Erebus’ sun-blotting silence. And from this inverted elevation bless the blackest soil with my soul’s mercurial seed, the marrow of my dreams shed at the ninth bell’s strike, In a death-rattle or a weird cry of ghoulish lechery. To saturate the damp dungeon beneath, that the matrix of sepulchral transformation may give birth to Unnature’s malformed godchild. My Will made manifest, my shape deified in abnormalities unbearable for all senses, Hidden in the grave-earth’s occultation. And only but for tthe Shadow’s black dog to uncover, he who pass the archon’s perilous gates at the crossroads of interstellar pathways. Yet at the clamor of the Dragon’s opened eye, shall even he fall lifeless down as I reach out to steal the fire of divine destiny. Yes, I seize my self-made self, the sacred offering of my wretched and withered persona and let It suckle from my heart’s rubine fountain. The life-blood of Adam’s kin coursing through the phantasmal trenches made clay, yet boiling from pleromal Fire - this I give as fodder for the one secret son of Belial and my recalled atavistic awakening. |

1. | Nightbringer - Watchtower of the West: Gate of the Mighty Dead | 07:53 | Show lyrics |
“Darkness is a path, a secret swirling river, where the lidded eye opens to ancient dreams. The dusk is a door, a coffin of stone, which I have dressed my soul in moldered flesh to enter. Cloaked in decay, the world falls into the gloom of barren earth and my Shadow drowns the temple behind me. Yet I am not fallen, but hidden. I am Flame amid waters of disturbance and desolation. Transgressing, not sinking. Marching across Night, through the depths of doom and decadence, I am Star masked with skin and scalps of gods. A riddled truth sweeping between the shores of ghosts’ hollow cries. Concealing lock upon lock within the old Serpent’s chambers with thunderbolt words, I am Turning and Becoming in Dying, an endless Dawn unseen by Day.” I face the West and in adoration I hail the setting Sun That Falls upon the ramparts of the Watchtower of Death and Dreams To enter verily into the DEATH’s mansion and in might hermitage illumine The autumnal thorn-path towards Midnight The labyrinth of crimson dusk To pass through the entrance of the underworld And be changed by ordeal Praise thee, O dying Sun! Praise thee, O Fallen One! Hoary as the earthen grave to which you have come Wise in your ancient aspect As thy elder epithet By relinquishing unto DEATH. Another ingress beget Imperator at the Watchtower Of DEATH and of Dreams By the Western road towards Great Midnight The Fallen Star gleams! Burnishing the skies with crimson and gold Turning lead black as thy burning wings doth unfold Enter the Earth, enter the Grave And hearken now forth towards ancestors mighty and brave Infernal Lampadiphor Psychopomp self-slain With hell-mouth billows Kindle the forge-fires of Cain And speak now his name! And speak now his name! Noctifer rise! From the felled corpse self-slain! In congress at crossed roads A new form obtained In casket and tomb The sepulchral King now ordained Go forth now as DEATH’s wayfarer Upon the crooked road of bane Tread the thorn-path towards Great Midnight To enter Death’s fane! |

A burning meteor cast into the waters of the underworld, as a Fire ripen in Shade and bloomed in Tartarus’ mire.” “See, I am a Secret star drunk on and drenched in the blood of the Dragon’s heart, pulsating within the depths of Eternity. A black glistening eye that pierces through the borders of Sequence and Form. For I am the Bringer of Night enthroned at the centre of all Darkness, luring with of the riddled Light of all lights.” Praise thee, O Midnight-Sun! Praise thee, O Hidden One! Towards the Heights within the Depths Rise and become! By the left-hand of reaping And words without breath Self-crown thee with Night’s diadem Within the Temple of Death Enshrined in Deep Midnight DEATH and life the self-same The candle of wisdom |Betwixt the black horns of twain And speak now his name! And speak now his name! Ye have become DEATH! The All-slaying athame O Lord of Deep Midnight The Sun of Black Flame! The crux of the High Sabbath Night’s power untamed Hail to Thee Light of that Sun which shineth bright at Midnight’s hour, in the night of body’s senses overturned, withdrawn in silence of the tomb. Laid bare beneath the Daimon’s glance, which pierceth sharp as any lance the centre of my flaming heart. |

He is risen, bornless one. He is risen, the fiery child. He is risen, the star of wormwood. He is risen, the herald of dawn. He is risen, who avenged his father. Hi is risen, to conquer. I lie in submissive adoration before the eastern gate. The triumphal arch of the sol invictus As the twilight eclipses the isolation of night A momentous storm of fire and force shatters the dust of illusory conceptions as I beheld the self-creation of RA! THE WILLED BIRTH OF A GOD! The circumference has created the center. The all has crowned itself with the point. As my gaze is fixed, doubt has been conquered by sight. |

As a lone wanderer have I been lost in the unfathomable desert, the wastes of desolation, and I have won my way. It is the time of the great reaping. The great infernal star shines from its peak upon MY earth, as I claim my destined reward. For now I am the lover of Ahator, Mistress of inebrity without end. For now I am the ascending child, draped in the cloak of fire! My ascent become me, its holy flames tear away my I. In this DEATH, this moment of moments. In naked splendour as time stands still. The past seems the life of another. The journey of a fool clad in many colours. Yet upon this parzival, and those before him have I kindled my fresh leaping fire. By those I were have I built my temple. As I aspire with pure intent towards and beyond my starry throne, the temple of now must become a stone in the foundations of something infinitely greater. The moment of truth. The shattering of masks and mirrors. The rendering of the last veil: REALITY TREMBLES AS THE CHILD GOD IS DRUNK UPON INMOST FIRE. |

At the barren edge of the silence of Night ’neath the snare where the snake sheds its skin Where the rivers of our strangest dreams collide I ventured into the wilderness of Death’s awakening To seek for that which all others abhor On a road that defies the course of the world With the blood of my heart seal the fated oath At the point where all moments unfurl I chance my all for everything other My soul unto you, demon and brother Into the circle where eye must meet eye With the one who is all that I am not And the Night is but all that lies in-between Where sown is my Self’s seed Within the torn tome of destiny All secrets are tied to none strangling noose That’s solved and rebound upon the Gallows hill’s top And in a storm of peacock-feathered bliss Shall strange new wine fall into my cup For between the cold fingers fetching sense Falls golden sparks and the fallen angels’ seed That flows into the core of crossroads Where all paths crooked and narrow must lead Doorways unlocked, chalice overturned I slit the jaded throat that sings the wretched world And dive into the instant, the void of your face Where the veins of God opens beneath my lightning bolt blade The hour is struck, the time is at hand To rewrite the rhymes that our cruel fate once planned O Devil and God, on your road I embark For we are bound everlasting by pact, birth and a murderer’s mark |

7. | Where Fire Never Dreamt of Man | 06:41 | Show lyrics |
...And I dreamt of libricide and fire A flaming pyramid opening the desert nights Flaring letters in mad laughter swirling across the sky Like screeching simurghs unchained That stole the keys right out of St. Peter’s hand To dare the borders to forgotten lands Shine you terrible lamp of Wisdom Shine upon the desert fields of night Shine within flesh and blackest mire For my tongue has a dire taste for fire Fallen into the wastelands of our dreams Where I’m wildered unto the forbidden gleam Of Azazel’s burning sacrament and sword So descend upon these lands, Estrangement’s Lord! Throw me into the depths where you once fell To be accursed and blessed within the springs of Hell To pass outside the route of heaven’s stars And die to the yoke of heaven’s law I’ve become something I’ve never dreamt of before My words all burnt within your unearthly torch My name re-written in your blazing winds And known is the secret of Shemyazaz’ sin "O Nimbus of a daimonic crown, blaze forth across eternity... For me! The night is wholly mine and in Death’s kiss it is sealed Where light and darkness conjoin, I have buried my Will towards expanses impossible And opened the road unto where thoughts bow before: Red, Holy, Chaos-flame." |

"May you be the firebrand of the furnace of the earth..." Come ye Sons of Celestial Fire, - Descend as of Olde! To mix your seed with mortal kind and sire unlawful progeny divine. As unto Qayin, at crossed-roads three, - The bloodline of wisdom, pass unto me. For with this, my sacrifice, self unto Self, I am led Into the Witching Fire of Tubal-Qayin! Come ye Daughters of Ancient Night, - Arise and behold! The path of the Blessed Serpent bright, - Fallen from heaven’s black light. As unto Calmena, at crossed roads three, - The bloodline of wisdom, pass unto me. For with this, my sacrifice, self unto Self, I am led To imbibe the envenomed Graal of Lilith! "In the brazen Citadel, in the Hall of Flames, I call upon Thee, Goat-Angel of the Golden Horns, Master of the Primal Fire, AZAZEL-QAYIN, appear in Thy brilliance! O flame breathing Daemon and Wizardly Smith, Who forgest the iron weapons of victorious liberation, Hearken to me, who am of Thy cunning seed, - The hidden house of AZAZEL!" [Nigel Jackson - The Masks of Misrule] From the bellow’s breath, the flame is born, - That tempers the blade, forged by the Lord. The hammer strikes to shape the blade true, - Through furnace and flame born anew, Wielded now with steady left hand, - To pierce the hearts of woman and man. All Hail, Sword of Judgment, cut to the core, - Strike fear in your enemies, Sword of War! Rise, O Flame, ever higher, - Burn to ashes all within this pyre At the Forge of Tubal-Qayin. Come ye Children of forgotten Gods born, - Recall what was told! The promise made in gardens of Eld, - When with the Wise Serpent, converse was held. As with Seth, upon the Olde Serpent’s Tree, - The fourth road of wisdom, shall set me free. For with this my sacrifice, self unto Self, I am led To embrace Death, the Master’s revelation! A conflagration of All, yet within detritus most foul arises - A crown and a might beyond Law! Unum adversas omnia, the Opposer’s path revealed, All-Otherness resolved and in One Thing sealed. |

"Above all, let the priest himself who governs the works of fire, be sprinkled with the icy billow of the deep-roaring sea." [The Chaldean Oracles] What is this wind of black fate - That guides me and carries me on? So steeped in the Devil’s earth - So far from the fane of sun, A voice in the darkness, - In irremeable fathomless depths The black, the living darkness inside me - Is Death! Yet as distant as elder stars, - Whose once brilliant flames are long dead A paradoxical inverse light - No sun ever shed It calls me it names me "No-one" - With silent sepulchral breath So I name Him the "All" and the "No-thing" - Within the Garden before the elders of Seth The shade of Abel arises before me, - ’Neath the blood stained right hand of Qayin And his left hand is pointing - Towards the sacred plot of the slain Oh, ineffable guardian and guide - My dream veiled daemon of other As one we were born of the Devil - And Eld Night our majestic mother I am myself! I wish to be other! Crown me with thorns, - ’Neath great spiraling horns Three nails to affix our fate - Upon the cross betwixt evening and morn Let the seal of ever-becoming - Be now rended and torn And to the daemon within - A new pact is sworn "Self" I name thee - My shadow veiled brother Yet no name can be given - To that which is other My Fate - My will - My heart - You fill - With light - Beyond light - A flame like the night My lord - My love - My god - Above - My angel - That - Is naught - Answer my call My Darkness - My sea - Of black - Eternity - Becoming - In darkness - A will - To be free A self - Becoming - Other - Than self - My otherness - That - I dream - And die to become "For the mortal who has approached the Fire will possess the light from God" "Those who, by inhaling, drive out the soul, are free."

Your essence is... - None in man - The void in אדם - Whose clay is dead Your essence is... - נ in מ - The sea unto which - I pray be fed Void of Heart - Hollow clay Fed to the whale - To become osprey Void of Heart - Clay absent flame Towards the Heart of Void - That ancient Name Leviathan - לויתן Drown me in - Leviathan That ancient name - The Death within the Waters Leviathan - לויתן I die within - Leviathan Whose maw is the womb - Of salvation I sink in your ocean - And with wordless prayer beseech you I come unto this baptism - And die that I may reach you Take from me - This lifeless clay And place in this nighted breast - The flame of day |

10. | The Otherness of Being | 12:43 | Show lyrics |
"The mind of the Father named all things in threes" "...all things have been generated from One Fire." "Source of Sources, the womb which contains the All." "Above all, let the priest himself who governs the works of fire, be sprinkled with the icy billow of the deep-roaring sea." [The Chaldean Oracles] What is this wind of black fate - That guides me and carries me on? So steeped in the Devil’s earth - So far from the fane of sun, A voice in the darkness, - In irremeable fathomless depths The black, the living darkness inside me - Is Death! Yet as distant as elder stars, - Whose once brilliant flames are long dead A paradoxical inverse light - No sun ever shed It calls me it names me "No-one" - With silent sepulchral breath So I name Him the "All" and the "No-thing" - Within the Garden before the elders of Seth The shade of Abel arises before me, - ’Neath the blood stained right hand of Qayin And his left hand is pointing - Towards the sacred plot of the slain Oh, ineffable guardian and guide - My dream veiled daemon of other As one we were born of the Devil - And Eld Night our majestic mother I am myself! I wish to be other! Crown me with thorns, - ’Neath great spiraling horns Three nails to affix our fate - Upon the cross betwixt evening and morn Let the seal of ever-becoming - Be now rended and torn And to the daemon within - A new pact is sworn "Self" I name thee - My shadow veiled brother Yet no name can be given - To that which is other My Fate - My will - My heart - You fill - With light - Beyond light - A flame like the night My lord - My love - My god - Above - My angel - That - Is naught - Answer my call My Darkness - My sea - Of black - Eternity - Becoming - In darkness - A will - To be free A self - Becoming - Other - Than self - My otherness - That - I dream - And die to become "For the mortal who has approached the Fire will possess the light from God" "Those who, by inhaling, drive out the soul, are free." "For in this triad the Father has mixed every breath." "...keep silent initiate." [The Chaldean Oracles] |

Asael, descend from High Eden! From Abyss to the Sun Down the Bright Serpent - Towards the Dragon of Nun Within the Night of Black Eden - Towards Death I would bow Illumed by the flames of a trident - To pierce the Mark of my brow To become as lampadiphor - Of a great fallen spark From a star Luciferous - To illumine paths dark Lucifer - Messiach! - Guardian of the Second Tree O perilous Star of the Morning! - Darken my plea! Strike me Lord, strike me! - With your igneous blade The mark of Pentagrammaton - By which the soul is remade O’ Morning Star smite me! - Pierce the chambers of my heart Carve a seat for your bright wisdom - And let profane life depart My blood is my offering - To the plot of this sacred place With Lilith-Nachash behind me - Opposite your luminous face A shadow cast by your fire - From hers is the blood of our race She who first offered - The poison fruits taste And guised with temptation - The path towards divine fate A riddle to solve - A great thirst to sate O Shaitan above me! - Three who art One - Guide, Lord and Daimon - Forge, flame and sun I pray you bless me with eminence - And impart your gift - And by resurrection uplift Resolve this "I" to your aspect - Crowned with horns twain And armed with the blade - By which I was slain I pray to know - And I will to be - To become as the monad - By way of trinity And walk Eden’s Night Path towards God’s temple - By the light of the Adversary And by root, heart and crown - Coil about the Second Tree |

In Death’s holy silence I call you God above me, God below me By Neither, Neither, myself unseen God within and God beyond me Reflected in these mirrors darkly God above me, God below me By Neti, Neti, a faceless face God within and God beyond me You abysmal rift in the fabric of being Ungraspable shadow, devour me As I open my eyelids for your gnashing teeth And fill the hollows with blackest dreams "For his art did express A quintessence even from nothingness, From dull privations, and lean emptiness; He ruin’d me, and I am re-begot Of absence, darkness, death: things which are not" [John Donne - Nocturnal upon St. Lucy’s Day] Coil about me and breathe my new name Self above me, Self below me Plow earth into abyss and reap its bitter grain Absence within me, Presence beyond me And your naked splendor has carved open the pathway Into wonders of the howling night and the twist of the moon Where the dead awakens to the call of serpentine cherubim To fall ever deeper and deeper into their tombs Restructure the dried out bones of the world And fill its dried out veins with your word A promise of everything I will come to be The Nothing within me and the All beyond me! |

5. | I Am the Gateway | 07:32 | Show lyrics |
At the barren edge of the silence of Night ’neath the snare where the snake sheds its skin Where the rivers of our strangest dreams collide I ventured into the wilderness of Death’s awakening To seek for that which all others abhor On a road that defies the course of the world With the blood of my heart seal the fated oath At the point where all moments unfurl I chance my all for everything other My soul unto you, demon and brother Into the circle where eye must meet eye With the one who is all that I am not And the Night is but all that lies in-between Where sown is my Self’s seed Within the torn tome of destiny All secrets are tied to none strangling noose That’s solved and rebound upon the Gallows hill’s top And in a storm of peacock-feathered bliss Shall strange new wine fall into my cup For between the cold fingers fetching sense Falls golden sparks and the fallen angels’ seed That flows into the core of crossroads Where all paths crooked and narrow must lead Doorways unlocked, chalice overturned I slit the jaded throat that sings the wretched world And dive into the instant, the void of your face Where the veins of God opens beneath my lightning bolt blade The hour is struck, the time is at hand To rewrite the rhymes that our cruel fate once planned O Devil and God, on your road I embark For we are bound everlasting by pact, birth and a murderer’s mark |

7. | Where Fire Never Dreamt of Man | 06:40 | Show lyrics |
...And I dreamt of libricide and fire A flaming pyramid opening the desert nights Flaring letters in mad laughter swirling across the sky Like screeching simurghs unchained That stole the keys right out of St. Peter’s hand To dare the borders to forgotten lands Shine you terrible lamp of Wisdom Shine upon the desert fields of night Shine within flesh and blackest mire For my tongue has a dire taste for fire Fallen into the wastelands of our dreams Where I’m wildered unto the forbidden gleam Of Azazel’s burning sacrament and sword So descend upon these lands, Estrangement’s Lord! Throw me into the depths where you once fell To be accursed and blessed within the springs of Hell To pass outside the route of heaven’s stars And die to the yoke of heaven’s law I’ve become something I’ve never dreamt of before My words all burnt within your unearthly torch My name re-written in your blazing winds And known is the secret of Shemyazaz’ sin "O Nimbus of a daimonic crown, blaze forth across eternity... For me! The night is wholly mine and in Death’s kiss it is sealed Where light and darkness conjoin, I have buried my Will towards expanses impossible And opened the road unto where thoughts bow before: Red, Holy, Chaos-flame." |

8. | The Witchfires of Tubal-Qayin | 07:43 | Show lyrics |
"May you be the firebrand of the furnace of the earth..." Come ye Sons of Celestial Fire, - Descend as of Olde! To mix your seed with mortal kind and sire unlawful progeny divine. As unto Qayin, at crossed-roads three, - The bloodline of wisdom, pass unto me. For with this, my sacrifice, self unto Self, I am led Into the Witching Fire of Tubal-Qayin! Come ye Daughters of Ancient Night, - Arise and behold! The path of the Blessed Serpent bright, - Fallen from heaven’s black light. As unto Calmena, at crossed roads three, - The bloodline of wisdom, pass unto me. For with this, my sacrifice, self unto Self, I am led To imbibe the envenomed Graal of Lilith! "In the brazen Citadel, in the Hall of Flames, I call upon Thee, Goat-Angel of the Golden Horns, Master of the Primal Fire, AZAZEL-QAYIN, appear in Thy brilliance! O flame breathing Daemon and Wizardly Smith, Who forgest the iron weapons of victorious liberation, Hearken to me, who am of Thy cunning seed, - The hidden house of AZAZEL!" [Nigel Jackson - The Masks of Misrule] From the bellow’s breath, the flame is born, - That tempers the blade, forged by the Lord. The hammer strikes to shape the blade true, - Through furnace and flame born anew, Wielded now with steady left hand, - To pierce the hearts of woman and man. All Hail, Sword of Judgment, cut to the core, - Strike fear in your enemies, Sword of War! Rise, O Flame, ever higher, - Burn to ashes all within this pyre At the Forge of Tubal-Qayin. Come ye Children of forgotten Gods born, - Recall what was told! The promise made in gardens of Eld, - When with the Wise Serpent, converse was held. As with Seth, upon the Olde Serpent’s Tree, - The fourth road of wisdom, shall set me free. For with this my sacrifice, self unto Self, I am led To embrace Death, the Master’s revelation! A conflagration of All, yet within detritus most foul arises - A crown and a might beyond Law! Unum adversas omnia, the Opposer’s path revealed, All-Otherness resolved and in One Thing sealed. |

My pleasure is melancholy - God above me - God below me - My heart the fulcrum between I am of you - You are the lord - I am of you - That makes the darkness shine I am of you - Glorious as the sun - I am of you - Our father who art in me You draw me up! - EHEI - Death! - EHEI - Daimon! - EHEI - Fire! - EHEI You draw me up! - Athanor! - EHEI - Serpent! - EHEI - Horns! - EHEI I - ש - Draw you - ט - Down - ן I long for the gift of profound death - So I pray before your mask Bowing down before this self I cannot know - Least I open the temple’s door I could never approach your mirror - Your blessing is ecstatic reverie So jubilant within your Night of Light - The Dark Noontide And He sayeth unto me! - And He sayeth! - I am your lord! And He sayeth unto me! - And He sayeth! - I am your lord! Your pleasure is melancholy - God below me Your pleasure is melancholy - God above me My heart crucified between - My heart crucified between Our father who art in me - Whose inverse light shall set me free God above me - Shaitan! - My heart crucified between!

3. | Lantern of Eden’s Night | 09:30 | Show lyrics |
Asael, descend from High Eden! From Abyss to the Sun Down the Bright Serpent - Towards the Dragon of Nun Within the Night of Black Eden - Towards Death I would bow Illumed by the flames of a trident - To pierce the Mark of my brow To become as lampadiphor - Of a great fallen spark From a star Luciferous - To illumine paths dark Lucifer - Messiach! - Guardian of the Second Tree O perilous Star of the Morning! - Darken my plea! Strike me Lord, strike me! - With your igneous blade The mark of Pentagrammaton - By which the soul is remade O’ Morning Star smite me! - Pierce the chambers of my heart Carve a seat for your bright wisdom - And let profane life depart My blood is my offering - To the plot of this sacred place With Lilith-Nachash behind me - Opposite your luminous face A shadow cast by your fire - From hers is the blood of our race She who first offered - The poison fruits taste And guised with temptation - The path towards divine fate A riddle to solve - A great thirst to sate O Shaitan above me! - Three who art One - Guide, Lord and Daimon - Forge, flame and sun I pray you bless me with eminence - And impart your gift - And by resurrection uplift Resolve this "I" to your aspect - Crowned with horns twain And armed with the blade - By which I was slain I pray to know - And I will to be - To become as the monad - By way of trinity And walk Eden’s Night Path towards God’s temple - By the light of the Adversary And by root, heart and crown - Coil about the Second Tree |

4. | Things Which Are Naught | 05:36 | Show lyrics |
In Death’s holy silence I call you God above me, God below me By Neither, Neither, myself unseen God within and God beyond me Reflected in these mirrors darkly God above me, God below me By Neti, Neti, a faceless face God within and God beyond me You abysmal rift in the fabric of being Ungraspable shadow, devour me As I open my eyelids for your gnashing teeth And fill the hollows with blackest dreams "For his art did express A quintessence even from nothingness, From dull privations, and lean emptiness; He ruin’d me, and I am re-begot Of absence, darkness, death: things which are not" [John Donne - Nocturnal upon St. Lucy’s Day] Coil about me and breathe my new name Self above me, Self below me Plow earth into abyss and reap its bitter grain Absence within me, Presence beyond me And your naked splendor has carved open the pathway Into wonders of the howling night and the twist of the moon Where the dead awakens to the call of serpentine cherubim To fall ever deeper and deeper into their tombs Restructure the dried out bones of the world And fill its dried out veins with your word A promise of everything I will come to be The Nothing within me and the All beyond me! |

5. | I Am the Gateway | 07:32 | Show lyrics |
At the barren edge of the silence of Night ’neath the snare where the snake sheds its skin Where the rivers of our strangest dreams collide I ventured into the wilderness of Death’s awakening To seek for that which all others abhor On a road that defies the course of the world With the blood of my heart seal the fated oath At the point where all moments unfurl I chance my all for everything other My soul unto you, demon and brother Into the circle where eye must meet eye With the one who is all that I am not And the Night is but all that lies in-between Where sown is my Self’s seed Within the torn tome of destiny All secrets are tied to none strangling noose That’s solved and rebound upon the Gallows hill’s top And in a storm of peacock-feathered bliss Shall strange new wine fall into my cup For between the cold fingers fetching sense Falls golden sparks and the fallen angels’ seed That flows into the core of crossroads Where all paths crooked and narrow must lead Doorways unlocked, chalice overturned I slit the jaded throat that sings the wretched world And dive into the instant, the void of your face Where the veins of God opens beneath my lightning bolt blade The hour is struck, the time is at hand To rewrite the rhymes that our cruel fate once planned O Devil and God, on your road I embark For we are bound everlasting by pact, birth and a murderer’s mark |

1. | Where Fire Never Dreamt of Man | 06:41 | Show lyrics |
...And I dreamt of libricide and fire A flaming pyramid opening the desert nights Flaring letters in mad laughter swirling across the sky Like screeching simurghs unchained That stole the keys right out of St. Peter’s hand To dare the borders to forgotten lands Shine you terrible lamp of Wisdom Shine upon the desert fields of night Shine within flesh and blackest mire For my tongue has a dire taste for fire Fallen into the wastelands of our dreams Where I’m wildered unto the forbidden gleam Of Azazel’s burning sacrament and sword So descend upon these lands, Estrangement’s Lord! Throw me into the depths where you once fell To be accursed and blessed within the springs of Hell To pass outside the route of heaven’s stars And die to the yoke of heaven’s law I’ve become something I’ve never dreamt of before My words all burnt within your unearthly torch My name re-written in your blazing winds And known is the secret of Shemyazaz’ sin "O Nimbus of a daimonic crown, blaze forth across eternity... For me! The night is wholly mine and in Death’s kiss it is sealed Where light and darkness conjoin, I have buried my Will towards expanses impossible And opened the road unto where thoughts bow before: Red, Holy, Chaos-flame." |

2. | The Witchfires of Tubal-Qayin | 07:43 | Show lyrics |
"May you be the firebrand of the furnace of the earth..." Come ye Sons of Celestial Fire, - Descend as of Olde! To mix your seed with mortal kind and sire unlawful progeny divine. As unto Qayin, at crossed-roads three, - The bloodline of wisdom, pass unto me. For with this, my sacrifice, self unto Self, I am led Into the Witching Fire of Tubal-Qayin! Come ye Daughters of Ancient Night, - Arise and behold! The path of the Blessed Serpent bright, - Fallen from heaven’s black light. As unto Calmena, at crossed roads three, - The bloodline of wisdom, pass unto me. For with this, my sacrifice, self unto Self, I am led To imbibe the envenomed Graal of Lilith! "In the brazen Citadel, in the Hall of Flames, I call upon Thee, Goat-Angel of the Golden Horns, Master of the Primal Fire, AZAZEL-QAYIN, appear in Thy brilliance! O flame breathing Daemon and Wizardly Smith, Who forgest the iron weapons of victorious liberation, Hearken to me, who am of Thy cunning seed, - The hidden house of AZAZEL!" [Nigel Jackson - The Masks of Misrule] From the bellow’s breath, the flame is born, - That tempers the blade, forged by the Lord. The hammer strikes to shape the blade true, - Through furnace and flame born anew, Wielded now with steady left hand, - To pierce the hearts of woman and man. All Hail, Sword of Judgment, cut to the core, - Strike fear in your enemies, Sword of War! Rise, O Flame, ever higher, - Burn to ashes all within this pyre At the Forge of Tubal-Qayin. Come ye Children of forgotten Gods born, - Recall what was told! The promise made in gardens of Eld, - When with the Wise Serpent, converse was held. As with Seth, upon the Olde Serpent’s Tree, - The fourth road of wisdom, shall set me free. For with this my sacrifice, self unto Self, I am led To embrace Death, the Master’s revelation! A conflagration of All, yet within detritus most foul arises - A crown and a might beyond Law! Unum adversas omnia, the Opposer’s path revealed, All-Otherness resolved and in One Thing sealed. |

And God created great Tanin... Ye, who I cannot know in life Nor approach but by the way of death The muted Heart of the boundless ocean I pray, I pray, I pray to you Swallow me...

4. | The Otherness of Being | 12:43 | Show lyrics |
"The mind of the Father named all things in threes" "...all things have been generated from One Fire." "Source of Sources, the womb which contains the All." "Above all, let the priest himself who governs the works of fire, be sprinkled with the icy billow of the deep-roaring sea." [The Chaldean Oracles] What is this wind of black fate - That guides me and carries me on? So steeped in the Devil’s earth - So far from the fane of sun, A voice in the darkness, - In irremeable fathomless depths The black, the living darkness inside me - Is Death! Yet as distant as elder stars, - Whose once brilliant flames are long dead A paradoxical inverse light - No sun ever shed It calls me it names me "No-one" - With silent sepulchral breath So I name Him the "All" and the "No-thing" - Within the Garden before the elders of Seth The shade of Abel arises before me, - ’Neath the blood stained right hand of Qayin And his left hand is pointing - Towards the sacred plot of the slain Oh, ineffable guardian and guide - My dream veiled daemon of other As one we were born of the Devil - And Eld Night our majestic mother I am myself! I wish to be other! Crown me with thorns, - ’Neath great spiraling horns Three nails to affix our fate - Upon the cross betwixt evening and morn Let the seal of ever-becoming - Be now rended and torn And to the daemon within - A new pact is sworn "Self" I name thee - My shadow veiled brother Yet no name can be given - To that which is other My Fate - My will - My heart - You fill - With light - Beyond light - A flame like the night My lord - My love - My god - Above - My angel - That - Is naught - Answer my call My Darkness - My sea - Of black - Eternity - Becoming - In darkness - A will - To be free A self - Becoming - Other - Than self - My otherness - That - I dream - And die to become "For the mortal who has approached the Fire will possess the light from God" "Those who, by inhaling, drive out the soul, are free." "For in this triad the Father has mixed every breath." "...keep silent initiate." [The Chaldean Oracles] |

Time turns like great serpent scales Here in the darkness And Sophia coils As lost in deep fever dreams And she sings such strange songs Through the corridors of this temple Where unknown shadows move unseen And here I turn through a thousand coats of flesh and bone Whilst drinking from her lips Staring entranced into moving vacant eyes And sinking ever down into the moon blood sea... Forsake me! Those of the depths have claimed me as their own Those that whisper and mock In backwards blackness Those whose secrets bleed All sanity Cold And if they call I must follow Down through these tunnels Endlessly deep Where flickers unholy distant light Yet he who shall claim it shall then no longer be me A jaw moves behind the demon mask Poisoned tongues drawn across the scarlet fields Forming, deforming and twisting the world Twisting the goddess sunk in psychotic sleep Yet there beneath the tidal waves Of mad ophidian sights The scales crack and wither For a new hidden light The whirlpool of nightmare Shall wash the tunnels clean Beyond sleep and waking Alarmed shall we rise to behold reality |

Below, below! In antinomian deeps In the heart of desolation We are reflections of the other We are reflections of the other Come! Downward the broken ladder Penetrate, penetrate! The harsh voice commands Causing crackling structures of black and white In the mirror before me Severity! Its principle is embodied in me Entranced, seduced! By the movements beyond the surface And as my breath flees into another world Its shadow twin pours over to ours My soul is drained in a chalice of abandonment As I inhale the essence of Samael Separation, be my guiding star! In the tunnel of the left hand Where all decrees shall burn! The painful ones in the periphery Proclaim the death of god Lightless! Through abodes of desolation Deeper, deeper! Downward the broken ladder To face the essence of the baneful beast And draw it into my blood As I burn in the fires of noxious poison! Towards the everlasting Step by step down the broken ladder I follow this stranger light A torch for the impure Through tunnels and tunnels and tunnels Below, below, below! |

Numinous sigils carved, the path of Nod is paved Qayin marks mirroring black seas engraved Within the chambers of chthonian mysteries I inscribe paragon’s torch victories Casting the shadowraiths amidst the midnight sun To evolve into the empyreal Adramelek’s son The passage of death’s apex, thy solemn moonlight portal Gathering the hiss of my dreams to echo the immortal Naamah revealed the foresight of my oneirisms I will perpetually heed Her voiceless yells Triumph for the Azoth self Triumph for the Azoth self The holes in black universe consume Feasting upon the blood of my chalice The salvation of souls within the black abyss The epitome of divine bliss Abide in thee, the eerie one, who divulges the lore Who transforms the soul within the endless deeps May thine insight unveil death’s mysteries The universe B keys Exalting my acosmic spirit towards thy tower As the all-seeing-eye abolishes the illusion It is for thee mighty Belphegor that I bleed Father of deliverance To descend into the Dragon’s mouth I cast down the olam asiyah non-essence Thy fiery gaze I pray to bless, those few that are awakened And when the servants of Kali are drowned in chaotic whirlings I assemble upon his throne amongst the firmament of no stars Manifest keeper of the crossroads In the grounds where the dead lie And from which they rise again Triumph for the Azoth self Triumph for the Azoth self Hasten upon the phantom chasms And the cursed soil the divine spectres spurns In the crossroads I offer thee, child of the grave Unveiling the secret that leads in the ophidian lake Leviathan’s mighty dominion expunged the world’s vibration The tail unloose and the passage guides through liberation Raven wings devolve the path of the ancient one The astral rite emanates aside the black water flood In the vast abyss drowned insincere light infidels Relinquish all borders and axioms divine shine bearers The hydra lurks in the depths of chasms Her name echoes typhonian phantasms In the lake of Lerna engulf the souls towards Hades Her light is for those who awake their shades I am infinite, in the foulness of true self It is my wyrd that I am bound to assert And I pulsate ahrimanic hearts for Tanin’iver’s key Dissolving ego’s unclean spawns I am the sons of suns, unified within one Communion SaTaNinsam, I become none Thus spake SamaeLilith: Eliminate the archon worlds Eliminate the kernel of stasis To inhale the sinister prana endlessly And stand upon my promethean throne, the ending endeavor Zamradiel |

Below, below! In antinomian deeps In the heart of desolation We are reflections of the other We are reflections of the other Come! Downward the broken ladder Penetrate, penetrate! The harsh voice commands Causing crackling structures of black and white In the mirror before me Severity! Its principle is embodied in me Entranced, seduced! By the movements beyond the surface And as my breath flees into another world Its shadow twin pours over to ours My soul is drained in a chalice of abandonment As I inhale the essence of Samael Separation, be my guiding star! In the tunnel of the left hand Where all decrees shall burn! The painful ones in the periphery Proclaim the death of god Lightless! Through abodes of desolation Deeper, deeper! Downward the broken ladder To face the essence of the baneful beast And draw it into my blood As I burn in the fires of noxious poison! Towards the everlasting Step by step down the broken ladder I follow this stranger light A torch for the impure Through tunnels and tunnels and tunnels Below, below, below! |

We are as wolves amongst ruins!

Morse Triumphalis We who arise within our fall Oh, ye sons of Apollo horned Whose inferno now shines in the Hell Bear witness to the end An Aeon’s death-knell As wolves among ruins As wrathful gods amongst decay Before the gates in Hell The sword of Justine bequeathed to slay as wolves among ruins As revenants of Father’s past Hearts darkened with the light A black sun doth cast "who is worthly of the name of man ?" Who does not want to be tested and does not look for a dangerous task? For the strong man inaction is torture. There is only one sight able to command the attention even of a god..." -Seneca Stand unbent Unbroken in stormns untamed And let the winds Stir your embers to blazing-flames!

O father resplendent with midnights crown, Puirssant lord of the liminal breath I mixt wakefulness and slumbering. Thy maiden consort, terrible yet fair __her piercing eyes search out the soult for hidden lies. Hear me! Attend unto my call! Hear me! Attend unto my cal! The ancient pact of blood declares our kinship, And the word spoken in all Truth vouchsafes my intent. Tried in deed and tested in ordeal__ for I have nurtured the hidden flame, a Sermit’s lamp to lead the way, And banished Earth with mind reposed. Now I within all shadow dwell enraptured in Phantasie’s own spell. Hail! ye powers of shrouded Night Hail! Breat circle of the never setting stars Hail! Oh father resplendent with Midnight’s crown |

To old Baphomet I proffer this life Shedding blood and a dark soul to sell ! Misrule! Misrule! Oh , how wise is the fool Of empty spaces Barren places The Devil’s illumination Misrule! Misrule! Oh how wise is the fool Of empty spaces Desolation The Devil’s exaltation By Night we seek the sun in its nadir And by day its glorious heights As we glut upon the sacrament Offered up by self-interment Within the intellect of Old Night I beseech the Other, my reflection, My brother, another life, Won through strife and the toll of Death’s bell ! Before Persephone I ground all dismay And make a paradise of the grandeur of hell ! Misrule! Misrule! Oh,how wise is the fool Of empty spaces Barren places The Devil’s illumination Misrule! Misrule! Oh,how wise is the fool Of empty spaces Desolation The Devil’s Exaltation Towards the gate of the Zeroth Thrust imafination’s divine key like the spear of saint longinus To pierce the body of his highness And let his blood run endlessly free To fall unto me! To fal unto me! And now i shall know And now I shall see The All which revolves about the nail Turns ever paradoxically! |

3. | Midnight’s Crown | 06:10 | Show lyrics |
Hail! ye powers of shrouded Night All who wander ’neath the hoary moon. Hail! Breat circle of the never setting stars Revolving the voidful throne of Drakon Hail! Hail! O father resplendent with midnights crown, Puirssant lord of the liminal breath I mixt wakefulness and slumbering. Thy maiden consort, terrible yet fair __her piercing eyes search out the soult for hidden lies. Hear me! Attend unto my call! Hear me! Attend unto my cal! The ancient pact of blood declares our kinship, And the word spoken in all Truth vouchsafes my intent. Tried in deed and tested in ordeal__ for I have nurtured the hidden flame, a Sermit’s lamp to lead the way, And banished Earth with mind reposed. Now I within all shadow dwell enraptured in Phantasie’s own spell. Hail! ye powers of shrouded Night Hail! Breat circle of the never setting stars Hail! Oh father resplendent with Midnight’s crown |

4. | Of the Key and Crossed Bones | 06:46 | Show lyrics |
Three are the circles and three are gates Three keys to unlock the leaden manacles of the gates Three are her faces and three are her veils By three secret names I call her at the threefold way Darkness covers the realm of ether As darkness buries the corpses crawling in the ground Vain death sown deep into the flesh of man Since that day he first opened his screaming eyes Yet through the bottomless pit of matter I can hear her calling and see her torch alight A flame sprung from the heart of the empyreal hearth To guide the scattered thoughts back into the halls of mind O Ékati - O Phosphorous - Enodia Trismegistos Open the depthts of the underworld that I may find the stars O Trivia - Psuchopompos - Sophia Trismegistos Open the heights of heaven that I may drink from the fount of gods The fire of the father flowers in your sacred womb The thunder of your world breaks through the sub-lunar tombs Hell’s shadows shall bow in my presence and the Teletarchs sing me praise For my spirit is led through the three fiery gates! Behold the key and crossed bones, behold the hidden path Behold a sun abloom within the uttermost black As spirit returns to spirit and flesh to the worm and the hole I was born of the father and him with my mother I go |

A - Zeroth Born of I Dark Sabaoth In you I die Inverse light Of my soul Black as night Death extolled Phantasmagoric fear ekstasis Though art bornless, faceless, and pleaceless The resounding silence is your name This thy word, thy form and fane Absence of presence Presence of absence A - Zeroth Born of naught Speak the name No tongue has wrought With sightless sight I behold The living night The blackest gold Absence of presence Presence of absence In nullity and stillness Your profound sentience Ceremented in divine dread The long shadows of god-head Trailing through these depths Behind horizon spanning steps O intellect of naught Bornless yet born in me O otherless The emptiness In me! Hekas! Phantasmagoric fear ekstasis Hekas! Faceless, bornless nad pleaceless Hekas! The resounding silence that is your name Hekas! This thy word, thy form and fane O absence of presence Presence of absence In nullity and stillness Your profound sentience Ceremented in divine dread The long shadow of god-head Trailing through these depths Behind horizon spanning steps O intellect of night! |

6. | Inheritor of a Dying World | 06:38 | Show lyrics |
Inheritor of a dying world Wanderer in the wild darkness Enter now this shadowed path The affliction of Saturnus grips the heart In leaden chains Inherit a world of dust! Here is no solace, no earth-born respite For those who bear the serpent’s mark O companion of the fetid tomb Foul specter, of the greedy grave Inheritor of a dying world Enter now this shadowed path To seek the light Dost thou find hope in works of mortality? Art thou awed by matter’s seeming might? Behold! The fruition of long ages toil A paradise for fools!! The earth aswarm With maggot man and tottering in ruin! The gates of death swing wide in fateful glory Greeting the throngs of pallid life’s abortion The affliction of Saturnus grips the heart In leaden chains Inherit a world of dust! Here is no solace, no earth-born respite For those who bear the serpent’s mark Inheritor of a dying world Inheritor of a dying world... Arise, and greet the dawning light of Phosphoros |

8. | Serpent Sun | 06:15 | Show lyrics |
"For body’s sleep became the soul’s awakening, and closing of the eyes - true vision" Awake my void-drunk eyes Amidst the tumult of filth and rats Awake amidst the waves of dismal Lethe And behold in truth at last Sunk and sunk and sunk have I Into skin and sin and sleep Yet this wasteland has revealed a gate And my heart holds its key O pierce the webs of dream Pierce my cold lifeless heart Nightbringer, lightbringer Infernal firstborn spark Ignite my funeral altar And let me rise like the dawn From the dregs of darkest ignorance To the blinding light of your throne So grant me now that sacred drink From the spring of memory Grant me those secret songs That shall lull the stars to sleep And when the night falls blackest in the slumbering underground Shall my woken soul take flight On the rays of the serpent sun I dance in maddest fervor Ever backwards through death’s door And beneath my hooves of steel Break the masks that I once wore O, see how bright it burns That fire for which I seek That the faces of angels boil off and their ashes sing its majesty! Praise thee! Mystery! The muses of the ogdoad! That thine secret psalmody Paeon! Apollon! Speak through me thine prophecy! Higher and higher! Beyond the seven I shall reach Blind my sight with gold and blood and lapis lazuli Deeper and deeper! Into the very heart of the sun Below the shadows fall in multitude but here the light is one |
