Elagabal (Part 1: Blossom) Lyrics


I am the curseof the golden age of knowledge

 queens and lords both bow their heads.

Inside their temples burns a torch of a different kind of light

than the one that once burned there.

Letters written on walls. Unholy god that serves you.

I will embrace the whole world with claws as smooth as silk.

I am the one that denies, eternally I will reign.

I – the god that replaced all the gods you’ve murdered.

Breaking the ones that I love. Bury them all with my hate

my spirit longs for to see a new day dawning.

Be buried alive. Suffocate in a sea of blossoms.

You who tried to break me, violets will mark your end.

Fresh as the air that I breathe no burden yet remains.

Broken shall be the shield of your grace.

Ambrosial death from above, silently spreading its veil.

Drowns them in signs of my love, I will cheer their corpses.

Hands still holding their grails, covered in crimson red palls

their remains be a feast for the snails, and a new day’s dawning.

The past –

The present –

The future is ours.

A look at the clouds

will tell something’s coming.

Watch the flight of the birds

and the way lightning’s running
