Through The Divine Spirit Of Satan A Glorious Universe Is Known Through the darkness of skies and the aging of stars I shall rise as king Flourish from the one I shall seize the sun, I am mighty as fire I am chanting to thee, lord inferno and king, ignite the flame Journey through stars is a journey afar in the cauldron of black As the wisdom of one is the wisdom of mine, I raise the the flame Cosmic bodies above floating like gods, masters of the gods Serpent of the skies, lizard of the suns, thy creator of time As I sign the pact and draw the seal I bleed for thee So it is done as I summon the moon and grasp the sun Water in my hand and soil from tombs for infernal pact Fire fills the sky and lights the night as I chant the hymn Oh powerful one, oh lord of supreme I hail thee 9. Bloodshed Across The Empyrean Altar Beyond The Celestial Zenith The ancients have left us with majestic writings about the chaos in the universe, and how the interstellar battlefield can be seen as a war among the cosmic bodies across the astral canvas of space. A cosmic collision or impact being in essence an act of one God cleansing old territory or a massive black hole acting as the great Satan consuming what should be eliminated as an almost metaphorical act of war as one cosmic object destroys the other, and the laws of the universe reign a throne to the victor through its own form of violent bloodshed. In human context, sacrifice can carry you to a further plane, or a higher plane of existence expanding your own universe. Shedding ones blood for territory or a higher plane of existence in this life or the afterlife is nothing more than a parallel of what the universe does through its cosmic war for its own expansion, for its throne, for its place. However, the greatest expansion is when we expand our universe through spiritual bloodshed. The mind is the microcosm and inner space of the outer space, the extension of the chaos and wars among the gods all around us. Within our mind, our mental space, we are living the quantum mechanics and the controlled chaos of space which are the laws of gods; other times we are an extension of the chaos theory where nothing is predictable and where chaos does not mean disorder; it is simply a means of order towards something greater; it is what the laws dictate, it what the gods dictate. ....because we are in preparation to join this ocean of stars. Those who came here and seeded us gave us a spirit that emulates space itself, and DNA that is essentially space dust; prepare us and show us what is beyond the zenith when we return to what was the force before darkness. 10. Power From The Center Of The Cosmic Black Spiral Cosmic wars of ancient ones, temples flood in a lake of blood Portal to a distant star, astral cave from where they flew Shining rays through astral caves, darkness opens to the eyes Forest of gleaming stars, ancient rays of wizard fire Smash those of the gleaming light Blast feeble temples of sand God rise as pillars crumble Blessed sacred those of the night Golden stars that shine - stellar rays on towers - in the heavens spawning - serpents from the thrones From the dust of stars - gods unleash the slaves - bring them down to earth - as servants to the realm Creatures from the lands - where the lizards fly - and fire is the breath - turning into stars Constellations form - into cryptic symbols - guiding those who fly - through the astral sea Serpent of the sun, spiral in the skies... burning Power from the law of nature and the gods... rising Eagle from the stars with the skin of snakes... flying Distant cosmic eyes in the form of stars... gleaming 11. A Magnificent Crypt Of Stars Voices of the dying stars Choirs from the end of time Hymns are sung to honor death To the future it shall sing Flesh, blood – mortal soul Fire stars, master's soul When the starless sky is open In the real of cosmic time Ash of bones are dust of stars ...to the stars my flesh returns Flesh, blood – mortal soul Fire stars, master's soul ...and the moon is red ...and the kingdom won ...with the force of Bune Attack! ...and the moon is bright ...and the kingdom won ...with the force of fire Attack! Cosmic eyes is serpent's eyes Universe of time and space Fire reigns upon his throne Where the universe is lord Mortal's are the ash bones Flesh, blood – mortal soul Fire stars, master's soul 12. Outro: The Invocation Of The Absolute, The All, The Satan 13. Coda: Hymn To The Cosmic Zenith [Instrumental] 14. Once Upon A Time [originally by Typhon]There was freedom and life Until the chains were bound And the false prophets Began to walk the land Once upon a time A dark lord came to show The way to fight the ones Who bring slavery to the world Under fire and blood Satan's kingdom rises And the words are spoken To the ones that are chosen To walk the land as kings Once upon a time The lord of lies were dead The lord of flies is here And dark becomes the light To show us freedom and life Men is free again To live by his own instinct To fulfill his desires By the death of God The holy trinity is no more The lord of light is here Lucifer arrives To let us be kings again Dagon: guitars, vocals, bass Incubus: drums
