Distant Dream ["... to Know, means possessing Wisdom, to use Wisdom, means Art., but using] [Art, means danger and sometimes warnings come too late..."] Oh, blessed be the Grand Watchers Who are not from a Race of Man But from beyond the times of the Gods Lurking forever about the barriers Thou who are the One in Three and Three in One With the names that set a soul ablaze KUA MASS SSARATU - Thy Sword of Flames I have never heard your voices so close Unknowable, unspeakable chants Torn into the billion pieces Enslaved in crypts upon the stars Rites not to be spoken Harbingers of chasmal light Forever kept alive Upon the wizard's seal - The conjuration of the fire I call thee fierce Dog here, before me SHTAH! Appear! Conjuration! Carven signs engraved upon the bow! BARRA MASS SSARATU BARRA! Behold the worthless formula Seeking ever to hold the Ancient Powers Now devoured is thy mind Such are laws of the grey stone star... 4. Black To The Blind ["Black to the blind" is a quotation from "BOOK OF THE LAW" (LIBER AL vel] [LEGIS), written down by A. Crowley. Years later he commented it thus: "The] [uninitiated perceive only darkness in night: the wise perceive the golden] [stars in the vault of azure." The same can be said of us, worshipping the] [Goddess in the true riteless ceremony of existence.] Black to the blind is She above and black to the blind we seem to be god-fearing sheep will never perceive the embodiment of the lust divine Nothingness thickens and bends down a new creation taking its primal breath this world's eternity vacuum unfolds dissolution of things stiff and dead Black to the blind Starry transocean of Goddess' womb pleasures landscapes and drops of pain from vulva furnace in gracious trance dark theology explained in light Trample the temple of gods aborted body denial, servile renouncement turn your eyes inward and chant unto the Gate of self-born None Black to the blind Heresy of the most superior kind to all of you I preach clearly now let no rapture be out of reach death is easy, life means extasy Black to the blind seems She Above blue and gold is seen to the seeing intoxicate the inner expressions to keep the eyes aware and vigilant Black to the blind is She above and black to the blind we seem to be god-fearing sheep will never perceive the embodiment of the lust divine Trample the temple of gods aborted body denial, servile renouncement turn your eyes inward and chant unto the Gate of self-born None Black to the blind 5. Silent Empire [Trystero is the name of the oldest conspiracy in the world which started off] [in the early XIII century and has supposedly survived until our times. In] [modern times the Trystero couriers used waste bins to pass their secret] [messages. The main aim of the organization was undermining of all official] [power in all its guises. Trystero is reported to have been active in America] [for the past 200 years, but no definite evidence has ever been found.] We await the silent empire The timeless domain of disinherited ones We do believe in silence All that is hidden and hushed serves our quest The spaceless kingdom of ones that expect The nameless worshippers of future to come When the courier's sign glimmers in the dark We rise our eyes in wait Our heads - that's where it dwells Our hearts - that's where it ripens Our hopes - that's where it reigns You'd better never antagonize the horn We wish to disremember the defeated cause Lost in the maze of the world We restlessly seek way out and up To evil towers, to another fall from grace into pride There in the world they think they conspire How pitiful seems their toil and plot We drop out letters into waste bins in the streets And gather to read the words of those who concoct Our heads - that's where it dwells Our hearts - that's where it ripens Our hopes - that's where it reigns You'd better never antagonize the horn The empire, it is in us The horn, there you can see The message, this should come soon Trystero, the name we behold We're from the outer empire Our heads - that's where it dwells Our hearts - that's where it ripens Our hopes - that's where it reigns You'd better never antagonize the horn We await the silent empire 6. Blood Of Kingu [And was not Man created from the blood of Kingu, commander of the hordes of] [the Ancient Ones? Does not Man possess in his spirit the seed of rebellion] [against the Elder Gods? And the blood of Man is the blood of vengeance. And] [the blood of Man is the Spirit of vengeance. And the power of Man is the power] [of the Ancient Ones. And this is the Covenant. ] [Of the Forgotten Generations of Man - taken from "The Magan Text"] We - from the blood of the dead We're burning with fury and hate Bloody vengeance still growing in us Waiting for mighty lords who'll praise again Cry of the dreaming-dead Still existing in my head They are spawn of the lords And venom of the evil gods Through the caverns of the earth the creep Still waiting for the right time They revolt against the holiness Leading me the mighty realm of madness Primal lords Eternal creatures of the earth Moved before the upcoming revolt Listen to your sickest dreams Awakening of the fallen is written in us Secular war Among the giants of universe And race of man created in hate Lead your thoughts beyond the time And wake up the ancestry of our entity Distant worlds Abominations unaffected Waiting for the rebirth of the ancient race All creatures of darkness arise I open my mind for coming of the lords 7. Carnal [And was not Man created from the blood of Kingu, commander of the hordes of] [the Ancient Ones? Does not Man possess in his spirit the seed of rebellion] [against the Elder Gods? And the blood of Man is the blood of vengeance. And] [the blood of Man is the Spirit of vengeance. And the power of Man is the power] [of the Ancient Ones.

Red Passage ["The red passage of Samadhi, Blood-Vision"] [Kenneth Grant] A dive up with head down moth-winged Angel's shriek excretion condensed diginity disrespect The Crown of Manhood means nothing here not for the sheep they pray they bless the buther's knife A chant of turbid light sombre consolation caryr me, oh Hydra Mother to gods of festering wounds The Crown of Manhood means nothing here not for the sheep they pray they bless the buther's knife A chant of turbid light sombre consolation carry me, of Hydra Mother to gods of festering wounds 9. Panzerstoss (Intro) 10. Reborn In Flames Comes the time of fear and pain The human race is bleeding away! The earth covered by ashes and flesh Dying in terrible decay Freezing winds freezing it all What fire hasn't burnt Blackened blood flooding the graves Messiah will never return! Unholy words of ancient prophecy Now come true - the dead rise from hell... Toxic storms attack from the sky Spreading the light of deadly pleasure Nuclear mutants buried alive In blasting dust of dying world Atomic falls putrefy human brains The living dead creep in bloody bog The lord of hate was awaken by death Before you die, can see the end! All will burn in his breath His eyes paralyze every life The demons wheel above his head Like vultures seeking the flesh All will burn in his breath His eyes paralyze every life All demons transformed into grubs To make the globe a stinking rot Born to destroy the holy ghost to the end Now finished wars of God His name is the Exterminator Covering the earth with vaporous rot The real messiah reborn in flames Creator was the hell He's killer of the world of the living The dead worship his majesty Comes the time of wrath and death Heaven has turned blood-red fire Crucified souls vomiting the blood In embrace of mortal desire Freezing winds that froze that all What fire has already burnt Blackened blood flooding the corpses Messiah will never return! No return!!! 11. Fractal Light [The lyric is a necessarily very general and simplified take on Chaos Magick -] [a modern system of thought that allows for the combination of mixing of all] [other systems and canons as long as they suit purposes of a mage.] Persistence of vision is not enough The common point is a law All systems do converge at last The mage's will is done The fractal light Chaos controls The fractal light No bonds, no checks, no nots All is permitted now The sphere glows red in the dark The navel's point is marked The fractal light Chaos controls The fractal light Take all the runes, collect the rites The psychonaut departs right now The world is open before your arms Evolve, change, and rise Persistence of vision is not enough The common point is a law All systems do converge at last The mage's will is done The fractal light Chaos controls The fractal light 12. From Beyond (Intro) 13. Crucified Ones Mortal crosses standing in the row, Seem to reach up to the burning sky, Damned souls grouping on the dark, Going round the stretched arms. Bodies, faces, Unnaturally bended in pain, Lifeless eyes staring at the space, Persecution of the dying has begun. Here's the place of alteration, Where life turns into other form, Dark ritual of demons procreation, Hear the cries - of the crucified ones. Throbbing fleshes in the rhythm of thunder, Blasphemy in light of raving bolts, Nailed hands greeting angry gods, Coming fourth to feast in blood. Bodies, faces, Unnaturally changed in lust, Purple fluids streams on the wood, Like tears of dying cross.... Here's the place of the alteration, Where gods turn into temporal form, Dark ritual of demons procreation, Come on! Leave your life and join the dead in hell. Masters of forgotten arts, Deign to look at your servant, Acceptance my greatest sacrifice, Send revenge on bastard's seed! O come to me! I beg thee, open wide the gates, All fiends of fiends, From the deep sleep of dark abyss arrive! Pazuzu, the evil one, Lord, who feeds on angels cries! Bless the damned, curse the blessed, crucify them. 14. Foetus God ["For the high point their teology consists of these two things: hissing at] [demons and skething the cross on their foreheads."] [Flavius Claudius Julianus (332-363)] [Roman Caesar (Julian the Apostate) (361-363)] ["What are the fruits of Chrisianity? Bigotry, superstition and persecution."] [James Madison (1751-1836)] [US fourth President (1809-1817)] Foetus god descends in silence a bastard deity for us to believe blasphemy of gen collage in backward sombre involution Foetus god abortion of the Diine latent rape of wet, lewd womb man-made myth to blunt in mind the vilest offence of five senses Undone miracles never to come invalid rise of slave thought the only light its dawn can shed is from burnt wisdom and shimmering greed Thine is not the Kingdom no trace of strength I see no Mercy to expect a seed of claws upon your lips As pure wit turns into effusions we, snakes of Truth, ex and devour gods manifested in twisted images astrally hunted in shadow and soul Sweet holy shiftless godsend meat I bet you listen to this psalm of me Sweet holy shiftless godsend meat I bet you listen to this psalm of me little by little, one by one the thorns become the real crown Thine is not the Kingdom no trace of strength I see no Mercy to expect a seed of claws upon your lips 15. Black Sabbath What is this that stands before me? Figure in black which points at me Turn around quick, and start to run Find out I'm the chosen one Oh nooooo! Big black shape with eyes of fire Telling people their desire Satan's sitting there, he's smiling Watches those flames get higher and higher Oh no, no, please help me! Is it the end my friend? Satan's coming 'round the bend People running 'cause they're scared The people better go and beware! No, no, please no! 16. Reign In Blood [Originally by Slayer (Lyrics - Haneman, King, Music - Hanneman)] Trapped in purgatory A lifeless object, alive Awaiting reprisal Death will be their acquisition The sky is turning red Return to power draws near Fall into me, the sky's crimson tears Abolish the rules made of stone Pierced from below, souls of my treacherous past Betrayed by many, now ornaments dripping above Awaiting the hour of reprisal Your time slips away Raining blood From a lacerated sky Bleeding its horror Creating my structure Now I shall reign in blood! 17. Omen (Outro) 18. Dark Age Strange visions dreams my mind, When I'm walking through the night, Each time I see the visage of the moon, Dead cities amongst the sands, Under the black abyss of seas, Does madness seize my soul? The elder race, From beyond the stars, Eternal watchers, Of sphere of no return, Seven seals, Of seven mighty gates, Abominations, That come true within me. Here's the key by which I can summon the forgotten world, Unnatural desire of the knowledge of the gods, Lust eating up the brain wherein there isn't fear yet, I break the sleep of spectral friends, Tear open the unseen, ghostly screen, I make free for all ways for demons now, And ruin the tombs of sacred souls.... An epileptic trance is entering my body, to break all control rule of this mind A boiling brain addicted to madness, In which every night is like a horror dream. Shudder in the dark breath, Old evil blowing icily from the dark, Wrapped in a shroud of mystery, Faint voices from beyond the spaces, Sample a dark universe, domain of the strange aces, With the angry gods, Best forgotten and left undiscovered. You know, of course, I'll be back from the dead, Blessing the blackness in glory, Of billions of years, On collapsed stars, In rituals of the ancient race! 19.
