1. I RAISED THIS STONE AS A GHASTLY MEMORIAL

I ceremonially predicted your distress
I raised this stone as a ghastly memorial

It has not been visited by the sun
Not been carved with an iron knife
Let no man may it bare
While the waning moon wanders
Let no misled man remove it

[Is Noah to blame...]


2. ALU

Per lapidis hor signum
Fugiat procul omne malignum!

[As Skald Amor wrote
The huminous sun turn black.
The dwarf's burden bursts.
The earth drowns in the dark aea
The puissant aea roars across the mountains]


3. GOD'S ENSANGUINED BESTIARIES

Immemorial parchment skin...what horror fills your scrolls!
All exegeses of the foulest words failed to proclaim what you lines unfold

In darkest chambers of celestial dust
All despondency found a written word

Out of silent elysian libraries
Emerged God's ensanguined bestiaries...

Pictured occidental beasts, aeons of filthiest glory, liquefied in sacred ink
Those impure fables seem to ruefully conceal a primordial holy instinct

Ancestors ruined descendants
In Amok against all wisdom and salvation
Eschatological testimonies
Composed God's ensanguined bestiaries...

Soiled, unregarded tapestries
Faded, salvational calligraphies
Out of elysian libraries
God's ensanguined bestiaries.

[Furthermore is there a beast named man
Thereof tells God
Whose pecularities are threefold
Covering the tracks of his atrocities
Storming onwards with his eyes closed
Raised and extinguished
As the fifth shame (from last)!
It was not awoken well of men...]


4. MOUNT SINAI MOLOCH

If thou... still creeping
Beheld us... still breading
Thy sinister heights
Thou'd stand as a mere rock for us indeed,
A molochh for worms
A colossal artefact
Guardian and denouncer of the weak

Yet... In pristine and eerie beauty thoud dwell

Trumpets... resounding with cacophony
And smoke... effusing venom
Now ascending Mount Sinai
Whose bounds are trampled down since heaped up with the sands of time
Outlived as a moloch for worms
Outlived as a colossal artefact
Monument and monolith of oblivion

Here... in profane and moribund solitude thou shall vegetate
Imperishably

[Imalituesque terminos populo per cimrituum et
dicescavete ne ascendatis in montem mec tangatia
fines illiusomnis qui tetigerit montem morte
morietur]


5. TRANSCENDING SATURNINE JERICHO SKIES

And it shall come to pass,
That when they make a long blast with the ram's horn,
And when ye hear the sound of the trumpet,
All the people shall shout with a great shout;
And the wall of the city shall fall down flat,
And the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.


6. KAIN'S COUNTENANCA FELL

None of my words is adorned with devoutness
And I do not endeavour to rule over sin
She lurks... and blemishes me with imbearable disgrace

Tearfully attempt though to debar me from rising up against thee
For you bear a void grandeur before a void idol

Box sanguinis fratris tui clamat ad me de terra!

Abel... what is this blood on my hands?
.. where have I been?
My punishment is greater than I can bear.

Box sanguinis fratris tui clamat ad me de terra!

[Slaior est iniquitas mea quam ut veniam merear!]


7. THE RESTLESS MILLS

Earth's hell was a pit of luming furnaces
Firing cauldrons of blood
Moving monstrous wheels

Where the air was stale from foul belief
In a shadow, so faint - yet salaciously desired
... to be that of god ... to reach into these naked depths

And shaped in soot ... a silhouette
Of outstretched arms and torso
At a giant cross...

A desperate view onto the restless mills
That grind...
Grind...
Grind...

Jahwe, you were the breeder of a pest cocoon
And whatever your gift was -
Dreadful were the mills that crushed it.

[And there arose a awoken out
of the pit, as the awoke of a
great furnace end the sun
and the air were darkened by
reason of the awoke of the
pit. And there come out of the
awoke locusts upon the
earth: and unto them was
given power, as the scorpions
of the earth have power. And
it was commanded them that
thy should not hurt the
grass fo the earth. neither...]


8. THERIAK - BAAL - THERIAK

And then he fell, and darkness crept across his eyes,
And atrocious arch pounced into his mouth,
And all through ran the brazen lance,
Deep inside beyond the brain, splitting the white bones.
Expelled were the teeth, both eyes filled with blood,
Spouted wide out of mouth and nostrils.
And death's black fume surrounded him.
As if rabid wolves lunge at lambs the flock,
That is scattered in the mountains due to the shepherds ignorance;
Those, beholding these, immediately mob them and lacerate them, these timorous beings...
Thus lunged Theriak at Baal


9. BLOOD VAULTS (II - OUR DESPOTS CLEANSE THE LEVANT)

Our bluster and catapults shatter the holy Lands
Blessed with a warm psalm of apostolic propaganda
That captures our hearts
Between insurmountable city walls and sanctified sodomy

Outremer... Four flags are flown without a triumph!

As we forfeited our North to some cryptic enemies
Reinterpret now the sermon to attack dispensable allies

Let o thy imperial command be a battle cry to the occidem
Suspicious we are, yet so spiritually armed
O dreadful bereavement!
This carnage in your honour, and against an impure Palestine...

Under siege... Bless your blood, Franconian cannibals!

Catholic conqueroar ascend in Latin harbours
Old manoeuvres now misled and undermined
An eye for an eye
Feast upon heretical gore and orthodox cannon fodder

Crusaders... Raise the Golden Horn to the conflagration ahead!

O majestic ironhand of doom
Have you received our immolation?
Let our deeds bequeath a martial dogma to our descendants:
Our despots cleanse(d) teh Levant!


10. ARCANE PHARMAKON MESSIAH

The giant excrement accumulation still awaits mine
My fetid, pestilent, venomous faeces
Prepared to devour all, but not yet willing
Not sufficiently mortal

I should rapidly unmask what breeds this gleam within me
A lure for the beast
... to creep ahead
... to bleed, to howl
... to exult
... tp mutilate the mind

This is a futile, miniature moment... again
And an atrocious castigation that befalls me
For a peek out of the crypt
I depict the realm as kingless
Where all semen is foul, omnivorous, suicidial
I demand a Messiah!

Pathetically faint burns this flame of awareness
When the grand, imminent bereavement
Leaves me suddenly bereft
... bereft of a dominion
... bereft of air and voice
... bereft of my piss
... bereft.

[... for his descendants?]
