1. Epiclesis
Harken me! Oh slaves of god!
Your time has come!
I'm your downfall!
Serpents are my crown
I'm the flames of the sun
Fire and air shall sweeten my path
I am the flame, which burns in every heart of man
Which burns in every core of the stars
I am the life and the disposer of Life
Therefore the knowledge about me is the knowledge of death
I call upon the ancient names of the elders
Darkness shall rise!
Rise! Azrael! Angel of death – preserver of names
Rise! Samael! Twelve-winged ruler of the serpent
Rise! Uriel! Father of false worship – companion of Sabaoth!
Rise! Leviathan! Serpent of the seas
Bring forth damnation, herald the fall of mankind
I am the flame, which burns in every heart of man
Which burns in every core of the stars
The earth will tremble, below my feet
No one shall live without my name engraved in skin
2. Bringer Of War
When on high no name was given to heaven
Nor below was the netherworld called by name
Apsu was their progenitor and Tiamat was she who bore them all
Gigim Xul! Uggae! Evil spirit! God of death!
They were mingling their waters together
No cane brake was intertwined
Nor thicket matted close
When no gods at all had been brought forth
None called by names, no destinies ordained
Then were the gods formed within these two
In the cella of destinies
The abode of designs
The most capable, the sage of the gods
The Lord was begotten
The mighty firstborn
Champion of his father
Hastener to battle
The warrior – Marduk!
In the midst of Apsu Marduk was formed
In the midst of holy Apsu was Marduk formed!
Gigim Xul! Uggae! Evil spirit! God of death!
3. The Last Sermon
I've travelled the realms beyond heaven and hell
Reaper of souls, ender of worlds
Feared slayer of kings, guardian of the path
I've shaped all your deepest beliefs
I was there from the beginning
I will exist at the end of all things
I've stood witness to every feeble passing
I've stood witness to every great atrocity
In every strife
In every war
In every revolution
I have left my mark
Executioner at the gallows
A lone hunter
Soldier on the battlefield
Criminal in the shadows
All who live know my name
All who oppose me shall know
In every strife
In every war
In every revolution
I have left my mark
At the end, mine will be the last face that you see
4. Serpents Court
Through me the way to the suffering city
Through me the everlasting pain
Through me the way that runs among the lost
Abandon all hope you who enter here
By passing the gates I enter the realm where Lord Minos holds court
Snake-tailed judge of those condemned
Sniffing the blood of the wretched to expose their sins
On the edge of this world I'm longing for Charon to ferry me into the fire
The cold, the everlasting darkness
A region where there is nothing that can give light
Profound darkness
As I descend deeper
Accompanied by virtuous pagans
I pass the hordes of Lucifer
Hell-beasts and fire-demons
Weird worms, vile torturers
Sentenced to death – I have passed the gates
Bereaved of existence – The path to hell awaits
Cast out from heaven – My divinity has died
Embraced by darkness – I decline the holy light
5. Nergal, The Raging King
God of darkness, lord of war
Grand dragon, covered in entrails
Fill the channels with blood
Feast on the lifeblood of man
You set your face towards Kurnugi
The dark house, dwelling of Erkalla's god
To the house which those who enter cannot leave
Seven gates you have passed
Seven rituals you have prevailed
To the road where travelling has one way
The house where those who entered where deprived of light
Where dust was their feast and clay their bread
They were clothed, like birds, with feathers
They saw no light, they dwelt in darkness
You tore Ereshkigal's robe away
Sodomized her womb
Stole her kingdom
Became her king
Raise up the dead here
Consuming the living
Behold Nergal
King of darkness
Gatekeeper, open your gate for me
6. Carnal Malefactor
These violent storms are sweeping away my bliss
No hope for rest and none for lesser pain
The vice of lust became so customary that license is now a burden
Among these sufferers, there is no hope that ever comforts them
Carnal malefactors are suffering in here
I witness the punishment
Accompanied by fear
No rest is granted in this abyss
Among these convicts I face my own sins that I've committed, they hunt me down
Here deep in this kingdom where the craving for flesh is a fear
I suffer with them in punishment
Amid the gust, the whirlwind and the flaw of rain and hail-stones, sinners need not tell their sorrows
But I have to move on, on this wretched course
Darkness still calls me, that unutterable force
My body falls deep into coldness
Like dead bodies fall...
7. The Urge For Battle
In the fountain of chaos, at the edge of time
Where neither light nor darkness exist
Where time was born to guide the foolish
There I rule, there I reign
I am the torch
I am the vanguard
I am the stanchion
The zealous slaughterer
I am the venom
I am the wisdom
I am the scepter's bearer
The urge for battle
When I rise from my dwelling the equilibrium of heaven and earth will disintegrate
Bright day will turn to darkness
Whirlwinds will rise and the stars of heaven shall fall
Ill-winds will blow and the eyesight of man will be darkened forever
Demons will rise and seize the race of man
The waters will rise and sweep across the lands
8. Atonement In Blood
Through this Eucharist of living flesh we summon you,
Almighty one – come forth with madness
Trietenicus, Liber, Bacchus, Iacchus
Blessed be thou, twice-born god
Offspring of the winter solstice
Thracian god of ecstasy and terror, atonement, guilt and death
IÔ Ischuros – IÔ Athantos – IÔ Abrotos – IaÔ SabaÔ
Ecstatic from the east, we await orgiastic pleasures, bring them forth
Hail to flesh, hail to lust, hail to sin, hail to glory
We conjure thee by the fire of Girra
Rise, from the pits of ancient holocausts!
Loud-roaring and rebelling son of Semele
Primeval, two-natured, Bacchic lord
Hearken to my voice, O blessed one
Breathe on me in a spirit of perfect kindness
Come, bull-faced god concieved in fire
Come, blessed and leaping god and bring much joy to all
Thracian god of ecstasy and terror, atonement, guilt and death
Khaire Phale
Khaire Pamphage
Khire Pangenetôr
Hagios Baphomet
9. Revelation
Hail! Apollyon! King of the demonic locusts
Hail! God of the sun! Conqueror of Christian souls
The fifth trumpet has sounded
A star is falling from heaven
Unholy wrath is unleashed
Armageddon has come
Hail! Abbadon! God of death and pestilence
Hail! Falling star! lock-keeper of the bottomless pit
The seed of Adam withers
The futile lives of humanity torn apart
Their souls destroyed by tearing pain
Air and light turn into black
Scorpions and Snakes, enunciators of the end
Horses prepared for battle, golden crowned, a thundering roar
A spreading mass of darkness and wrath
Conquest, War, Famine, Death
Angel of the abyss!
Ominous be thy name!
From his throne of truth
He commands the end!
