1. THE LIES OF MORIAH

I do not belong to your sphere
I have seen what no one has seen
Heard what no one has heard
He speaks to my soul, to my heart

Beyond the lie, remains the truth
On Mount Moriah, I will fulfill your Will
Nothing belongs to me because I have faith
I own every thing because I have faith

There is no one to kill
everything is already dead
Becoming is nothing here
I escaped this illusion

On the third day I will know
He will be my pain
My ultimate salvation
Through the mayhem of my joy

At the last moment I heard your words
The blood will not flow
But regrets take hold of my soul
Would I have wanted... to kill?

On the third day I will know
He will be my pain
My ultimate salvation
Through the mayhem of my joy
Nothing belongs to me because I have faith
I own every thing because I have faith


2. RITES OF THE IMMOLATOR

Sharpened blade
Steady hand
Slice and spill
The living water
Cremation
To presence a nexion
Father descends upon us

Lord, as your Word directs, I offer up this body to you

Each breath
A prayer
Repay Midian
with slaughter
Each breath
A prayer
Repay Midian
With slaughter

Awaiting a manifestation, crimson hands beating on drums
Restless devotion, sleepless eyes
Words of praise, incantations, spoken again and again
I offer you this sacrifice

Lord, as your Word directs, I offer up this body to you

Turning jugular veins into fountains of youth

Priests painted red, chanting in a circle
As the column of smoke becomes a gateway
Words spoken and deeds done
Human flesh, burning on the altar of sacrifice

Each breath
A prayer
Repay Midian
with slaughter
Each breath
A prayer
Repay Midian
With slaughter


3. GREY FATHER

A ceiling of grey snow like ashes looms above, dominates
Faceless patriarch, hungry for the sweet scent of our offering

To quench the beast's thirst, the ram we bleed
Shovelfuls of carrion to the flames we feed
Return the gift of life with Death to appease
Salvation for he who glorifies, honors, and pleases

Grey father
Bless us and accept this sacrifice
Grey father
I bring my prayer before thee

Nourish the furnace to prevent the collapse of the fabric of truth.

The air all around, thick with human dust, swallows the screams of horror
Gathered in reverence, the gas mask wearing priests behold the gracious feast

Return the gift of life with Death to appease
Salvation for he who glorifies, honors, and pleases.

Grey father
Bless us and accept this sacrifice
Grey father
I bring my prayer before thee

A ceiling of grey snow like ashes looms above, dominates
Faceless patriarch, feeding off the sweet scent.


4. THE CRADLE

Son, father, and a presence
In a triangular formation, in devoutness
Greater rites of Death and of Life
A cycle of loyalty, devotion, and Sacrifice

What I bore with pride I now pass on to you
Blood of mine, fade, O blood of mine, wake again

A path to transcend all flesh

For you to ascend, I descend

Breathe in the air from my lungs
As my temple collapses
For you to lay the foundations of the new one

Rejoice, and praise, for there is your reward
The gift of Eternal life
A path to transcend all flesh

Son, father, and a presence
In a triangular formation, in devoutness
Greater rites of Death and of Life
A cycle of loyalty, devotion, and Sacrifice


5. THE ORIGINAL CRIES OF JERUSALEM

And while Ramallah and Moriah
Are separated vastly by time and place
The hand that held the knife was one and the same

And while the carrion differed immensely
In creed, tongue and race
Their utterings were exactly the same

Since it matters not one bit
That its original cabal
Has fallen completely silent many times since
He makes sure,
The original echoes of Gethsemane
Still ring out proudly today

Ask Cain, ask Jephthah, ask the Manasseh,
The Voice, and the commanding words they heard
Ask Jethro, ask Abraham, ask Jihadi John
The absolute will to power, and unflinching certainty
Towards their means to an end
Ask, and hear the same answer
Roll off of the same tongue
In the same mouth
Through the same throat;

Whether out of apparent mass hysteria unto Moloch
Whether out of apparent fear unto Chemosh,
Whether out of apparent lunatic idolatry, into Ben Himmon
Whether out of Jephthah's apparent, prideful gloating
It quenched His and our grand thirst,
For indeed the hand that wields and slays with this sword,
Is no more theirs but His

He makes sure,
The original cries of Jerusalem
Still ring out proudly today

Ask Abu Sayyef, ask Karpinsky Amir, ask Luttif Afif,
Ask Vasili Bloichin and ask the nurse preparing the lethal injection,
And hear the terrible voice of (Elohim)


6. TRIDENT OF FLESH

Behold, a world made one, a flame illuminates the sky
Gathered around the symbol of the trident, Death deified

With gifts of blood and tears
Splendor in submission
With bones our temple is built
The bones of the slaughtered

The secret of our race’s strength lies in the blood, the sin of our Father
A victor’s crown glows red, underneath the shadow of the trident

Take your son, your only son, whom you love
And go to the land of Moriah

With gifts of blood and tears
Splendor in submission
With bones our temple is built
The bones of the slaughtered son

The son spoke: «My father, I see the fire and the wood,
But where is the lamb for a burnt offering?»

Here is my covenant with you
I have made you the father of many nations

Take your son, your only son, whom you love
And go to the land of Moriah
Kill the lamb, raise a holy fire
Kill the lamb, offer your Lord this holocaust.

With gifts of blood and tears
With bones our temple is built


7. SOLDAT

Father
To know you is to live, and to serve you is to reign
Hallelujah

May your strength guide me this day, and may your power preserve
me

May your wisdom instruct me,
Your eye watch over me
Hallelujah
May your ear hear me,
And your word give sweetness to my speech,
Hallelujah
May your hand defend me,
And may I follow your way always
Hallelujah

Que ta parole et ton exemple
Soient un glaive qui coupe le mal en moi
Pour que je vive dans la pureté
Et la droiture

Donne moi la camaraderie de la souffrance
Donne moi l’honneur, le devoir et le sacrifice

Dans chaque oeil qui me voit
Dans chaque oreille qui m’entend

Dans le danger apporte moi la force
Dans les ténèbres, apporte moi la lumière

May your wisdom instruct me,
Your eye watch over me
Hallelujah

Father
To know you is to live, and to serve you is to reign

May your ear hear me,
And your word give sweetness to my speech,
Hallelujah
May your hand defend me,
And may I follow your way always
Hallelujah


8. A MONUMENT

Rise

Faced with impending extinction,
A final strife, to crown one ruler
Over the ashes of the old world
For an undivided heart to rise anew

Before the coming of the end
Words and sigils colliding
Will stripe the sky, and rain fire upon the earth

Over the ashes of the old world
For an undivided heart to rise anew

To rise anew

And so the estranged brethren face again
In a fatal embrace, to earn undivided love, to the death

Forests of ivory growing in the sand, a monument to victory
Seeds sowed in an arid soil, for aeons of rebirth and prosperity

To rise anew

Faced with impending extermination
A final stand, to burn with grace
Witness the death of the old world
For an undivided heart to rise anew
He is crowned, Lord of the ashes
He is crowned, King of the Earth
