Inside the shrine called life By the seven wonders By myriad mortals That gone And are to come Outside! Outside desert ov restriction In act ov rebellion On the sea ov motion Stability ov matter By serenity, strength and beauty By the mighty chant ov every breath In serpentine dance ov blood cells In simplicity ov spells Divine names, meta-games I greet Thy presence Oh Snake! Thou art God! Coiled underneath my throne With Thee I reunite With blood we make this covenant Myself I redefine Look in and above: There is more than the flesh Look careful and Thou may see The unextinguished flame The nectar ov Thy rage I taste from the cup ov fornication And woman by my side And scarlet is her skin She's eager to rise And so eager to please Another day Another eternity gone And on the stairway to salvation I walk alone among the falling stars Looking for company Where art Thou? Oh, lacerate ones!

Bow down before the kingless throne When sun is yet to rise Consume this putrid sphere! Forever and beyond... When heavenly chants mute Thy apparition did I behold oh Venus, the sweetest ov them all Let me bathe in Thy divinity Descend! and Thou hast descended Depart not yet! I crave for warmth ov blissful rays And fateless eyes encourage me The ancient dreaming The wolf's unchained Disobedience has such a victorious taste... Rise! Bow down before the kingless throne When sun is yet to rise Consume this putrid sphere! Forever and beyond... [Lead: Nergal] [Lead: Seth] Forever abandoned among gods ...Since I have been made flesh, And yet I challenge Thee! Canst Thou hear my battle cry? Non serviam my friends.
