Liber XLIX Lyrics


God take me now

Hide my soul from the Shadow

But don´t leave her body

Laid on dirt

Don´t leave her name to be unheard

"As I become an abyss &

A temple for the weak and frail

Lift me, Babylon & Holy Grail

To begin a new Genesis."

“Thou hast called me, oh accursed and beloved fool

My joy is the joy of eternity

And my laughter is the drunken laughter

Of a harlot in the house of ecstasy.”

("Scream my name To fill me with life")

Oh, and something grotesk is looking through the glass...

Something old trying to pass

The man has become...

The sleeper as awaken

From the surface of imperfection

"Come. I´ll show you the anatomy of my skin

All the deep silence that crawls within

From the lust that was left to die

The Morningstar brilliantly silent

Above a lost Titan´s cry..."

This Beast of venomous Brilliance -

A spear of light from the tomb of Christ -

Comes forth in all it´s might

As I look into the Mirror of Deliverance

Une nouvelle decadence

Cadence des rythmes du Soleil

"Shy away

Don´t turn your face to me

Go and shy away

Rebuild yourself from the ashes"

Rise between the mountains

Rise between ego & soul

Temper my flesh with your taste

Seven vessels for me to waiste

Time is ticking away

Into a kingdom of dismay

Can you dig enough into the blood

That lays in your godless hands?

Silence!

The gates are closed

The gates are trembling

Under the vibration of our voices

Let my flesh become Stone

A temple white as bone

I open the gates of East, South, West & North

I open this world to thee, Babylon

My body, an eschaton

A watchtower of lust
