Ancient Ceremony
The Third Testament
1. Ex Insula Angelorum
Awake and give Ear to what Damnation's Bell
as Prophecy has Thee to tell!
From the Island of Angels I shall descend
to bring Thee the Third Testament
An Age then is destined to start
in which feeble Religions are torn apart!
2. Al Shaitan Mahrid
Choirs bathed in Vengeance, dressed as Sin
Perform my Aria of Doom
Drunken with Blood
I resurrect my Cult
The Serpent strikes again
Now that the Seals are broken
All Heavens live in Mourning
"Et aperuit os suum in blasphemias ad deum
Blasphemare nomen eius et tabernaculum eius
et eos qui in caelo habitant
Et datum est illi bellum facere cum sanctis
et vincere illos"
So do fall down and worship Me!
A Feast for the Black Prophet
And a greater Feast for Death
The eldest Friend of Wisdom
The Source of wildest Pride
The great seven-headed Beast
That's three Names out of a Thousand
This World has given Me
Oh Earth - now feel the Elements
My Air - Thy Taste of a deadly Storm
My Water - The Poison of Dragons
Fire - see the Flames burn
as Symbol of the new Law
Daughter Zion I have risen
To preach Thee Thy final Day!
3. Litanies In Blood
Litanies in Blood I write
As Prayers of Supremacy
My Paper is the Skin of Mortals
Like the Cuts of hundred Needles in their Head
My Feather on it is burning
When Children are brought to the Altar
Grap their Hearts and offer them to me
Diabolical Donation
To get fed with Perpetuality
When Darkside is calling
Open the three Books
To read and learn
Now Flesh becomes My Word
And Word becomes My Flesh
Ego te baptiso in nomine Satanas!
Taste the Devil's Nectar
Drink the Serpent Blood
Wilt is the dark Flame of the Universe
As we pass the fiery Gates
Hand in Hand with fallen sixwinged Seraphim
In this sinistruous Night
Where an Eidolon named "Might"
On a Black Throne reigns upright
I welcome Thee
Walkers in velvet Spheres
My Passion's Daughters and Sons
Here is Thy deserved Dominion
Corpus Sanguinarius Satanicum
Hic sapientia est
qui habet intellectum
conputet numerum bestiae
numerus hominim est
et numerus eius est - Sescenti Sexaginta Sex!
4. Seed Of Evil
See the storm forth
like the dancing Flames of immortal Fire
Feel them burn Thy Soul
Now enter Purgatory!
Oh Scorpion in Azazel's haunted Realm
with deadly Sting fulfill our Lust
May Thou find the beating Hearts in their Breasts
Woe to Thee - but where to flee?
There is no Place to hide
from the Seed of Evil
Horned Entity, carry our Sins with Pride
as we shall do in that star-filled Night
when Babalon's Resurrection is gloriously set to be held
Born again from Scarlet Woman's precious Womb
as Insignium of Hate
Woe to Thee - but where to flee?
There is no Place to hide
from the Seed of Evil
Sand licks the Blood not less than seven Times
My damned Children they awake
from a Sleep that seemed eternally
Whilst Desert's pestilential Winds
spread from the East
Nine-headed Hydra's Disease
to crawl the Holy Lands
"Thou shall be Feast for the Worms!"
My Breed, these Harbingers of Death
on destinuous Wings do ride
Captured Souls are a mortal Meal
consumed with deepest Delight
consumed by the Seed of Evil
5. A Black Requiem
Oh fiercest Goddess Darkness dares to invoke
Pure Demonic Attraction
When Thou were raptured by Elohim's Hand
Tears bedimmed Thy ebony Eyes
Former Things now passed away
No Sorrow, no more Woe
In Blackened Moon, in Twilight's Dim
Listen to this Bridal Hymn
Await my Diabolique Spell
Mine art Dark Powers to read the Visions old
My Orchestra of Agony performs for Thee
The Symphony of Pride
Now become One with me
Hades and Eden unite
Now Thou art One with me
In unholy Desire allied
Congressus cum Daemonae - See Shadows dance in morbid Rhythm
Congressus cum Daemonae - My Black Paradise it thirsts for Thee
Revolting Angels gather for Attack
Congressus cum Daemonae - Install Thyself next to my Throne
Congressus cum Daemonae - Our rival Kingdom never will bow down
Pass the Rivers of the Dead
A Vision of Elysium tonight flows
All Flesh desires Divinity
Imprisoned Stars now set free again
Ready for Vengeance
As I strike the flaming Sword
Thee all shalt hear the Master Chord
Performed in this Black Requiem of mine
Ego vos benedictio in nomine magni Dei nostri Satanas
Exaudi meam Dominus Inferus vobiscum!
Creatures of the Abyss
and in Heavens as well
Join our Path under the Sun
and join us in crimson Moonlight
6. With Mephistophelic Egotheism
Let me introduce myself
Mephistopheles my Name
I spread Egotheism
An Idol of Lust I am
To take Thee out of Sadness
And Obeydiance my Aim
Never wander through spiritual Worlds in Lonelieness
Don't wait for Heaven!
Mephistopheles - Seduction the Black Way
Mephistopheles - True King of this World
Allah, Jehova, Father God
These worthless Designs do fail
Decapitate that Trinity of Falseness
In Faustian Conquest I crush their feeble Lies
"So ist denn alles, was ihr Sunde, Zerstorung,
kurz das Bose nennt, mein eigentliches Element!"
My Soul is in Knowledge of the Universe
So come to Me
And all Treasures of the Earth can be Thine
I await in Hell!
Mephistopheles - Seduction the Black Way
Mephistopheles - True King of this World
7. The Ultimate Nemesis
With Hand of Judgement I have whetted my flashing Sword
to punish my Adversaries
I will make my Arrows drunk with Blood
and my evil Soul shall devour Thy feeble Flesh
Now I take Vengeance on my hated Enemies
The ultimate Nemesis!
Awake, Heaven and Earth
for the Time of my Plagues has just begun
Like Sodom's lovely poisoned Wine
all Waters shall turn red with Blood of the Slain
I am Her Revelation
On my Sceptre gleams the Morningstar
and my Curse rapes all Temples of Thine
Lux Perpetua - now Thou art mine!
As Conductor to this Requiem
I write the Score in Blood
Reaper plays his Violin
feel the sweet Smell of Death
Oh, Perfume of these raging Deeds
get spread like fiery Breath
Hear Lambs in Agony cry
see the Slaves slowly die,
still kneeling before their God
"With Tongue of Wrath I spake the Judge
So they now wheep for their slaughtered Idol...
Face the ultimate Nemesis
and wheep now for Thy God!"
Hear Heaven cry, see Heaven die
Bleeding Drips rain from the Sky
Hear Heaven cry and see Heaven die
Thy "God" - I laugh about his Sigh
His Sheep from my Wolves do flee
A dying Heaven - this is what I see
Dead even I love my Enemies!
8. On Khaos Wings
No mortal Soul ever shall feel
Wisdom-drenched Secrets hidden under my Veil
Through the darkest Portal ever built
I will guard Thee to the fifteen Stars under Ishtar's Gate
For I am all that was, is and shall be
Weeping, creeping, Death is sleeping
Mysteries of a World beyond
Shall bring Thee back to Life
As on Khaos Wings we ride
In this Black Magick Night
Created before all Mankind
Fire and Spirit in me unite
With the Wilt to Infinity
By the Powers from the East
And Mysteries of the Deep
I command in Anubis' Names:
"Thou shalt arise!"
Der Tod kommt auf leisen Schwingen
In these ancient Funeral Chambers
I cast my Spells upon those
Seekers of Immortality
Now let us dwell in the Land of Shadows
As on Khaos Wings we ride
In this Black Magick Night
Death rides on silent Wings
By the Powers from the East
And Mysteries of the Deep
I command in Anubis' Names:
"Thou shalt arise!"
Der Tod kommt auf leisen Schwingen
Die to arise!
Welcome to Spheres
Beyond Mirrors of Blackness
9. Salute O Satana
Salute O Satana - Deus Vindictae
Salute O Satana - Deus Tenebrarum
Salute O Satana - Deus Lucis
Ecce Corpus Jesu Christi, Dominus Humilim et Rex Servorum
Ave Dominus Satanas Deus Potentiae!
10. Under Astral Tyranny
Cosmic Chaos designs another Birth
of the Luciferian Principle
Spawn of Venus in Attack
Thou art to the World a raging Storm
Aeons end, Aeons begin
He is the One to call
Mountains drown and Churches fall
in Earthquake and Deluge
Chained in a Thousand dustfilled Clouds
Sun no longer dares to rise
A World in Darkness drenched
and Silence haunts all Lands...
When the Stars are in their Constellation right
it's Time to pay Tribute to his Might
The Astral Tyranny
Earth now is a Widow veiled in Black
weeping at Her own Grave
Side by Side with Death
Widely opened are Gehenna's Gates
like a Virus from Ereschkigal
Myriads of Dead do march
as Army bringing Pain
Jehova see Thy Children fall!
When Stars in Fear do stop their Dance
Not far ahead is that bloody Romance
The Oracle-Goddess preached
as Astral Tyranny
On this bleeding Planet I raise Centuries of Wrath!
My Time - now it is near
This Widow it may take my Hand
When as Messenger of the golden Dawn I ascend
This Principle - it's me!
11. Bells Of Damnation
I am Bringer of the new Aeon
And this is my Revelation:
Beyond the Abyss I arose
tempted the World in Sin
Weak Rules of the spiritually Enslaved
my Wisdom has destroyed
Sacrifice on my Altar
And paint the Graves bloodred
Where I was there is Darkness
Where I am there is Light
In a Palace that shines in more Brightness than even the Sun
I gather my Nation to lift up its Swords
Drink from the Chalice, Sacred Ones,
in Lakes of Secrecy now bath
The Witch of Endour, my morbid Concubine,
seduces even Angels as we reveal the Words divine:
"Another Prophet will arise,
bringing new Fevers, killing with Plagues
The Lamb will die through his avenging Hand
The Serpent will kiss another Woman
She spreads Temptation
And represents religious Dawn"
Await these Messengers of my Eclipse
For I am the King of Kings
The Spirit who conquers Thy Souls
Purple Tears of exiled Angels
Drip down like raining Blood
And are Wine to me - Wine of Wrath
Now listen to the Secrets old
Bells of Damnation for Aeons have told:
"Eure Seelen sind mein!
Eure Seelen sind rein!"
