1. PRESENCE

(Instrumental)


2. IRREVERENCE

What knowledge man of the personality of God?
Breathing the intimate nature of the divine
In hushed reverence, henceforth a presence
Of unnatural disorder bereft of sanctificiation
I am below, I am king of worms beneath stars
A gobbet of flesh from thy unknowable host
See me now, how I spit on treacherous spirits
See me now, curse the tomb of trust in ye men
I reject his power as impotant and irrelevant
A misreble spectre of endless irreverance

Mark me now
That I might wander
Curse me now
With bliss of nothingness
Nothing! Nothing!
Nameless hole, loving savior!
Be here now


3. OFFERING

Shine o lord, shine
Spread your light as cancer
Through this worthless, rotting flesh
Bless me lord with unbelief
That I might wholey submit
To your black sanctification

Devour my heart and blind my eyes
That I may worship with solid focus
Lord o lord pierce me, use me
And rape my soul of all sickening purity
Blessed am I to be of thy seed
Glory to your true salvation

Sacred sin, o burning king
Mark this worm with blood
To rise with violent pride
Sacred sin, o flaring beast
I hear thy voice in prayer
For my dark revelation

Praise be to sedition's son
Who's shadows writhe and caress
The confines of my soul
Ancient serpent, rise in me
The fires of total illumination
Empower me Archon of light

Halle-fucking-lujah!
Christ cunt hallelujah!

Ascend! Ascend! To damnation
Will this slave crawl and posess
Thy infinite blessings of doom
Drag me now, my light and poison
I shall be a temple of serpents
A vessal of shining red portents
Envenomed by the lies of christ

I shall be a temple of serpents
I shall be a temple of serpents

By your venom I rot to ascend!
By your venom I rot to ascend!


4. ASH AND SPARKS

And on this day
Below and beneath the holes
I worm and breathe
Across searing coals
It burns in me

This is the day
I breathe and choke on smoke
I writhe as ruins flow
From the cup of God
It burns in me

Brighter, brighter, brighter!
On toward the sinister fires!
Past the strength of tired limbs
Swollen and rigid with terror
Sanctity
Curse of thorns

Heavy on her head
Weigh the barbs of cruel abuse
So heavy the spell
Of dissolution and death

Black wings and broken charms
I'll be with you in the earth

Fire the world
Clouds of ash and sparks
From sacred masses
Crawling back again
Sanctity
Curse of thorns
Kingdom black
Crawling back

And on this day
Below and beneath the holes
Be with me now
In the hissing coals

This is the day
I breathe and choke on smoke
Further and deeper yet
Into the searing cold
It opens in me

See them now
The smoking stones
Wreathed in scorching flame
Unto bliss I am
As my light is cast
Against the stones
To the end I am


5. CONCEALER

Kneel in petition
Accept the light of communion
Grovel in perdition
Beneath the thrice called union

Erect in subjugation
Stillborn filth in agony
Starved in acquisition
Beneath the word of sulphur's son

I, triumph
I, illume
Praise, father
Rotting, mother

Concealer
Burning ash on forked tongues
Buried one
Ingest thy burning failures

Pandemonic
Barren beast born on wings
Abandonment
Inverse and absolute, null

Abscence
Veiled and complete
Blooming sparks
Presence
A pulse of flesh
Illume, purity
Serpentine
Inverse and perverse
Coiled mother
Sinuous
Rebellious and cold
Prideful tempter

Deep within the womb
She shines her light
The reptile force of precision
Arise dark woman!
Arise and destroy the illusion
Light the torch on the path
To desperate ecstacy

I, triumph
I, illume
Praise, father
Rotting mother


6. BLEAK ONE

Your mind is open
A contaminating force
Hear the hissing of a thousand rats
Cruel-eyed afterglow of horror's birth
I am never alone

Your mind is open
And it gnaws at my flesh
The multitude of terror and shit
Wide-eyed at the image of my ascent
I am ever alone

Trembling!
You graceless wretch
Sinners! Sinless!
Inviolate and proud
Come forth!
From beneath your curse
Convulse, torment
Servant ever more
In darkness
In obscurity
Awkward wretch
Broken
Bleak one
Decayed

I am rising, risen, vehement and flaring
A comet of sparks to brighten the earth
I am fallen, falling, violent and striving
Spirits climb, contort and envelop me
Harbinger
Portent
Omen of death!


7. VOID

Released
From the light
Are we saved?
Liberate
Discharged from god
Stillborn and dead

These damning lies
Words spoken through cracked lips
Pissing blood over broken shrines
Mouthing, murmuring
Wailing their wretched psalms
Bleeding, pleading their designs

Triumphant
Above the stars
No salvation
Transformed
Thus spawned
Come forth

And from secret places
These gifts are carved into my palms
Without bread, with swollen tongue
I build these temples of light
From these secret places
The tenets of binding permissions
Come crashing down from the stars
I am come into being

Triumphant
Above the stars
No salvation
Transformed
Thus spawned
Come forth

Forsaken son
For the endless stars
I empty the sun
Darkest light, I will know and name
That I may command
Light of clarity, light in the void
Consuming my thoughts
Burn in my heart, burn in my words
As flame guards my birth
