Codex Atrox Lyrics

by Erdh

I cut myself off from the world

Some thought I was lost

(-and I am)

I went on a drab pilgrimage

To the Abode of the Dead and back

I descended into a great pit of stillness

Surrounded by its thick veil of gloom

I listened to the רפאים lament

What was revealed to thee

Thou shalt not depict

I grazed vague shades

Devoid of expression

Their buzzing chant

Gashed my heart forever

My hair turned from black to bone white

Pillar of fire consumed my narrow sight

Holy terror consecrated my whole soul

And time came to return to the land of living

From Rome

To Mecca

And Jerusalem

To spread the Bad Word

The unbearable Truth

There’s no hope beside, below, or beyond for you

Except יהוה retribution for your sins

There’s no hope beside, below, or beyond for you

No salvation

But eternal pain

And darkness

For all

My cruel brothers, they called me apostate

They said the Devil speaks through my mouth

They said I let my own mother die with grief

They accused me of blasphemy

But for truly, I tell you : God condemns you all

From the top of my very own Golgotha

I’ll sing my insane anthem

Till the glorious End of Times

God condemns you all

No salvation

But eternal pain

And darkness
