The demon dwells between the words

The demon lurks between the notes

so let me rest in wordless sleep

Let me sleep in silence

Ignite the fire of transcendency -

the beacon at the end of the universe

the fire to cure the human condition

Ignite the spark of great collapse

Let the idea of the I be nullified

and accept nature's greatest gift

dare to approach life's greatest mystery

Downwards, downwards

ever downwards!

Downwards, downwards

descending into lifeless

Strange glows beckoning

distant voices from afar

Downwards, downwards

A wave of lamentations

flooding the world

a crescendo of unequaled death

The demon resides

in the multitude of empty spaces

Where all is silent He is heard

In its nothing everything is

In its quiet all is told

Reject the vow of swindler tongue

call forth the beast within -

slayer of celestial grace

hunter in the heart of Eden

Unbending to mercy

refusing to hang the head in shame

Never to shake the hand of defeat

but prowl until every last lamb is skinned

The hunger relentless, the power unparalleled

Stirring the waters of unchallenged death

Arise, ascend, align!

Paradise vanquished

sanctuary stained with blood

Assassins among the sleeping

subdue all illusions

The foundation of mankind

forced against the shadow-self

crushing every fragment of self-worth

Downwards, downwards...

From Hell's heart - refuse the world

the daggers of abhorrence preparing to stab!

Mouths open to testify horror

no voice to echo their dread

From Hell's heart - deny the flesh

Ubi mors ibi spes...
