Acheron Anti-God, Anti-Christ 1. Fuck the Ways of Christ [Intro #1] One should not embellish or dress up Christianity: it has waged a war to the death against this higher type of man, it has excomminucated all the fundamental instincts of this type, it has distilled evil, the Evil One, out of these instincts - the strong human beings as the type of reprehensibility, as the 'outcast'. Christianity has taken the side of everything weak, base, illconstituted, it has made an ideal out of opposition to the preservation instincts of strong life; it has depraved the reason even of the intellectually strongest natures by teaching men to feel supreme values of intellectuality as sinful, as misleading, as temptations 2000 years ago has been enough, it's time to cast out Christian thought The worship of a bastard is absurd, these ways must be fought No more confessions or worthless prayers, guilt and failth we don't need Rely upon thy self, not some idol god, self preservation is key Fuck the ways of Christ, fuck the ways of Christ Fuck the ways of Christ, fuck the ways of Christ Fuck the ways of Christ, fuck the ways of Christ Fuck the ways of Christ, fuck the ways of Christ Adam and Eve were just a myth, evolution shows the proof The meek shall never inherit the earth, Darwin, he wrote the truth The words "Thou shalt" are for slaves not for those who rise above Love thy neighbor" is a fuckin' joke for few are worthy of my love Fuck the ways of Christ, fuck the ways of Christ Fuck the ways of Christ, fuck the ways of Christ Fuck the ways of Christ, fuck the ways of Christ Fuck the ways of Christ, fuck the ways of Christ Purification day has arrived, the Jesus freaks are revealing their ways Soon the masses will wake up, that will be the Church's final days Every empire that has stood strong has fallen in the past Christianity is no exception, it's godly reign will never last Fuck the ways of Christ, fuck the ways of Christ Fuck the ways of Christ, fuck the ways of Christ Fuck the ways of Christ, fuck the ways of Christ Fuck the ways of Christ, fuck the ways of Christ 2. Shemhamforash (The Ultimate Blasphemy) [Intro #2] Wherever there are walls I shall inscribe this eternal accusation against Christianity upon them - I can write in letters which make even the blind see... I call Christianity the one great curse, the one grear intrinsic depravity, the one great instinct for revenge for which no expedient is suffinciently poisonous, secret, subterranean, petty - I call it the one immortal blemish of mankind... Fuck God, for he is nothing to me I spit on Jehovah and display mockery The virgin Mary was a dirty whore No blood of lamb shall be upon my door I am godforsaken and I shall never change My evil thoughts can't ever be rearranged Lord of myself and a servant to one I deny the holy ghost, the father and the son No need for Alla, without Xul Jesus Christ symbolizes a fool Tetregrammaton, another form of deceit And I renounce the crutch of the weak I am godforsaken and I shall never change My evil thoughts can't ever be rearranged Lord of myself and a servant to one I deny the holy ghost, the father and the son Anephezeton, bow before me! Where's this God? It's not there A blind belief which is based in fear Mindless herds can't perceive Why I rejoice as they grieve 3. Blessed By Damnation [Intro #3] The Christian concept of God - God as God of the sick, God as spider, God as spirit - is one of the most corrupt conceptions of god arrived at on this earth: perhaps it even represents the low-water mark in the descending development of the god type. God degenerated to the contadiction of life, insetad of being the transfiguration and eternal Yes! In God a declaration of hostility towards life, nature, the will to life! God the formula for every calumny of 'this world', for every lie about 'the next world'! In God nothingness defied, the will to nothingness sanctified!... Infernal flames soothe my condemned soul, as torture becomes lust Burning flesh becomes a painful pleasure in the bowels of the abyss Blessed by damnation, blessed by damnation Screams of anguish turn into bliss, while skin is being scorched The fires blazing throughout this barren land brings forth enless ecstasy Burn, I shall burn, as Hell consumes my soul Burn, forever burn, darkness has full control Boiling blood and disfigured bodies are found within this place Before Satan, I have given all to become part of his creation Blessed by damnation, blessed by damnation 4. Baptism for Devlyn Alexandra [Intro #4] God on the cross - is the fearful hidden meaning behind this symbol still understood? - Everything that suffers, everything that hangs on the cross, is divine... We all hang on the cross, consequently we are divine... Christianity was a victory,a noble disposition perished by it - Christianity has been up till now mankind's greatest misfortune A January eve, the year XXX A.S. Magick granted me a gift, that Lucifer blessed A daughter born of darkness, and oh so divine The next generation of the infernal bloodline Devlyn Alexandra, the world is yours to indulge in the things you wish Never submit to the righteous herds, my child may you "Do as thou wilt" Skin white as snow, her eyes an endless sea An unwarped newborn mind, without Christianity Free to walk the path, remember left is right Reap all of life's worth, young spawn of the night Devlyn Alexandra, a new Satanic millenium awaits for you to behold Use the tools given unto you, the creed being "Knowledge is power" I baptize you in the name of Satan! Hail Satan, rege Satanas, hail Devlyn, praise life Hail Lucifer, ave Satanas, hail Devlyn, praise power Hail Belial, rege Satanas, hail Devlyn, praise wisdom Hail Leviathan, ave Satanas, hail Devlyn, praise strength I lift the chalice and make a toast to this sacred time Raise your hands into the sign of the horns, the Satanic Salute Brothers and sisters we have honored this little witch May the black flame of Satan forever burn in her veins 5. Total War [Boyd Rice/NON cover song] [Lyrics by Boyd Rice] [Intro #5] With that I have done and pronounce my judgment. I condemn Christianity, I bring against the Christian church the most terrible charge any prosecutor has ever uttered. To me it is the extremest thinkable form of corruption, it has had the will to the ultimate corruption conceivably possible. The Christian church has left nothing untouched by its depravity, it has made of every value a disvalue, of every truth a lie, of every kind of integrity a vile of would. Do you want total war Turn man into a beast once more? Do you want to rise and kill To show the world an iron will? Do you want total war Throw out Christ and bring back Thor? Do you want total war? Do you want total war? Do you want to stand and fight To rip asunder this pallid night? To smite your foes that they might die To splatter blood across the sky? Do you want might to prevail To kick aside the weak and frail? Do you want total war? Do you want total war? Do you want total war To see life's will return once more? Do you want total war? Unleash the beast in man once more? Do you want total war? Do you want total war? Yes you want total war Yes you want total war Total War! Total War! War is eternal. War is universal There is no beginning, and there is no peace Nor could there ever be Even if the beast man desired it so For man is subject to the same law Which governs all living things And this law dictates That every living thing maintained its existence Exclusively by depriving other living things of theirs So it has always been And so it shall ever be Man is a beast of prey History proves that man is a beast of prey The beast of prey conquers countries Founds great realms through subjugation of other subjugations Creates states and organizes civilizations Exclusively to enjoy his booty in peace Attack and defense, suffering and struggle Victory and defeat, domination and servitude All sealed with blood This state is the entire history of the human race 6. Ave Satanas (1996 version) Hail Satan, full of might, Our allegiance is with thee. Cursed are they, the god adorers, And cursed are the worshippers of the Nazarene. Ave satanas, ave satanas Unholy Satan, bringer of enlightment, Lend us thy power, now and throughout our lives. Endless glory shall be given. Lord of hell, show us thy way. Ave satanas, ave satanas Jesus Christ, we deny thy name. 7.
