Even Song
Of Man's First Disobedience (Expulsion from the Divine Adobe)
1. Cosmic Empire
A frozen Galaxy drifted
in Nature's amniotic seas
a universe of starry majesty
in the vast ocean of Space
Black planets rolled
without lustre and aim
in the yawning dark Void
It was the dawn of times
the dawn of Genesis
the age of mystery
Motionless stars
without name & knowledge
a cosmic empire
in the stifling black fluid
The world waited its own birth
in an icy, uninvaded sleep
And the Great Omnipotent slumbered
on the verge of the deep
A cosmic empire
a slumbering galaxy
A cosmic empire
in the cradle of eternity
2. Mother Of All Beings
(The self-begotten deity)
The steadfast Earth shuddered
roaring fires ran over heavens
in tears & howling embodied
a female form: Mother of all beings
Like a faint shadow she rose from the ground
trembling & pale like a new-born child
beneath her feet a vast, unprolific ground
above her head the indefinite space
For ages she wandered in the forsaken wilderness
searching for life-forms
She found nothing but a dire emptiness
a soul-shuddering Vacuum
Whirlwinds of sulphurous smoke
torrents of lava, vapour & clouds
terrible thunders tore the mantle of Earth
unquenchable fires consumed the ground
Her lamenting voice wept upon the void
but there were no one to hear her
She was alone in a world of inertia
divided by tears & sorrows
From the vast deluge of her tears
an unfathomable ocean rose
An ocean teemed with strange organism
and creatures bred in sorrow
Various forms of being crawled out from the sea
and mustard around the great Mother
And she rejoiced beholding her daughters & sons
and gave them the Earth & the Skies to conquer
3. Aeons Of Blissful Ignorance
Once under starry heavens
a garden was planted
a wondrous work in the waste wilderness
where lions walked in humility
Once the Sons Of Eternal Joy reigned upon the Earth
and angelic myriad ruled the skies
In his celestial abode the Old One slumbered
the one who formed the world into existence
It was a golden age
era of beauty & joy
Death was not, nor iniquity
the fountain of eternal life sprung
The Infernal Serpent laid on the verge of non-entity
a doleful shade before the immense gates of Infinity
Once man walked the heavenly path
in sweet ignorance
enchanted by the unearthly beauty of Eden
in ecstatic joy
Once the Daughters Of Light danced
in that realm of mild moony lustre
4. From The Flames Of Eternal Fury
In whirlwinds of tempestuous fires
a phantasm rose upon heavens
....a fearful Eidolon
Lucifer was his name in Eternity
the Father of Pestilence
Monarch of the Sulphurous Empire
Arch Enemy of Heavens
Wanton enormity
from the flames of eternal fury
delighting in blood
armed with destruction & plagues
The Black Angel stood at the centre of all infinity
with ambitious aim against the Monarchy of God
Loathsome in a serpent-like form
he descended into the blissful garden
a guileful reptile, a King of Tyre
Master of Temptation
5. The First Disobedience
A bittersweet taste of that Forbidden Fruit
Entice of Evil -a Serpent in every bosom
We lay naked in the wind, in shame & fear
exiled into a solitary night, rent from Eternity
o Times Remote, Blissful Ignorance
Would a Forgiving Father
take such a vengeance
upon his beloved children
Did Jesus weep for us?
No I don't think so
we're the sin-bred offsprings of Judas
The One who sits high on the sky
on an empyreal throne
is not our Father
Was it just a dream?
The God upon his mercy seat
Was it just an illusion?
Our Divine Abode
A Hell for each Vice
for every Disobedience
Alone in the Great Wilderness
in a night of vast durance
6. The Conquering Worm
Terrible spires & monoliths
under unvanquished skies
A vast ivory-black tower
in Night's hellish-black mire
A brooding dark power
a spreading black world
Some said: It's Babylon
the abominable realm of Man
Standing tall like a steadfast giant
eclipsing the stars, usurping heavens
a phantom world in the sickening light
a vast monument of perverseness
Now We worship Satan, the Bringer Of Light
Oh you, Selfish Father, you left us on that horrid night
We forgot Eden, the Garden of Joy
our eternal life like a dream dissolved
O, God of Almighty Heavens
who will save us from perdition?
Shall our immortal vigour return
or shall we drown with the Stygian flood?
