The First Archon Lyrics


This is my confession

'Tis for thee my sweet couple

Or shall I say, my sound companion

Pour me the wine of Samael

Which venom — like sweetly sear

And so the blood of Lilith

This wine of the wicked taste

There is no God — but the source of my being

My heart holds eternities

Call me that name...

The venom of God

The prime archon — Darkness

SAMAEL! SAKLAS! SA'EL! HVHI!

The dark I suckled...

Her great light made me God

I am Samael

...Samael...

I slithered through Eve's legs

Bringing Cain the Accursed

She looked upon me with terror

But could not flee

Faithless One — you are my child

Deny me not, we are bound by blood

Fly unto me

Fly...

...without fear, without end

To Him who lusted but knew not the shape of his lust

Lilith rises slowly from the earth

To receive him as a clinging vine
