Samael Lux Mundi 1. Luxferre It’s time for moving on as the past is too worn Our life has just begun and a new day is born No more prevarication, no more delay I ain’t gonna await my last breath to say More light for the thoughts that I dig More light in the places I stay More light on the path that I walk More light ‘round the questions that I bear More light in the eyes that I see More light in the light that I bring My kingdom is from this world I burn from the fire that I hold It’s a simplicity of utter complexity We’re holding the key to a life of wealth and luxury Our body, our mind all the rest is so unreal See knowledge is an ever-growing flame More light for the thoughts that I dig More light in the places I stay More light on the path that I walk More light ‘round the questions that I bear More light in the eyes that I see More light in the light that I bring Turn it, turn it on More light’s what matters and after all what we’re all after A better sight, a clearer view of what’s about to come Turn it, turn it now Turn your eyes to the other side Your temple is inside More light for the thoughts that I dig More light in the places I stay More light on the path that I walk More light ‘round the questions that I bear More light in the eyes that I see More light in the light that I bring My kingdom is from this world I burn from the fire that I hold My kingdom is from this world This new era will be brighter and bold Brighter and bold 2. Let My People Be!

Of War Anger - the force of the weak that tricks oneself but fools no one Power - the force that absorbs without being overwhelmed War the deeper scar of history War the sanctification of tragedy Peace – as crown of war is glory built upon misery Terror – in a dead end finds its way out in the ecstasy of destruction War the deeper scar of history War the sanctification of tragedy War the illusion of majesty Why should we drink the poison before the remedy Pride to die in combat – like all the other dead All this to learn that - all nations’ blood is running red Pride to die in combat – like all the other dead All this to learn that - all nations’ blood is running red War the deeper scar of history War the sanctification of tragedy War the illusion of majesty Why should we drink the poison before the remedy 4. Antigod Born in a world of superstition To live a life of submission Raped by dogma forced into the mind I’ve looked somewhere else for what was already mine I am the antidote to the syndrome of God I am the Antigod, the only hope that you got I am the Antigod Religion is a road above one’s head, Hiding the light and obscuring the way Faith is alive when reason is dead, Forget to live while waiting for “The day” I am the antidote to the syndrome of God I am the Antigod, the only hope that you got Chose investigation over resignation And I will always be by your side Morphing the truth into convenient lies Feeding a fraud impossible to size Grafting rules on common sense Turning freedom into an offense I am the antidote to the syndrome of God I am the Antigod, the only hope that you got I am the Antigod I am the antidote I am the Antigod Deum De Deo, I am God! 5. For A Thousand Years All that we shared, wasn’t a lie We’ll never have to say goodbye The taste of eternity Is wired to our memory Reaching the end of a broken line – while the road is still fine Longing to stay a little longer – when our time is over Hey ! Forever at human scale is still not immortality Breaking doors of heaven and hell and living for a thousand years Yeah, living for a thousand years No what we shared wasn’t a lie My love for you will never die Dreaming away the unbearable – landing before the crash When the word turns black and purple – memory is hard cash Hey ! Forever at human scale is still not immortality Breaking doors of heaven and hell and living for a thousand years Suddenly the wind is blowing, fresh air is coming and we’re moving away Our grief’s balanced with our joy, we sow on new soil, today is a new day Are you with me? Hey ! Forever at human scale is still not immortality Breaking doors of heaven and hell and living for a thousand years Yeah, living for a thousand years 6. The Shadow Of The Sword Listen! This is a true story, based on reality A mass of frenzy, a poison sold as remedy They tell you knowledge is a curse but ignorance ain’t bliss They tell you love one another while waging war for peace Delusion, fraud and deception The foundation of religion Is it that holy to decide to be nothing but a shadow of a man? Trading life with death, mixing lies with hope and living in the shadow of the sword Middle age in the 21st century Struggling to survive modernity Trapped in a time of obscurantism Where minds rely on archaism Arrogance, wealth and violence The trinity of monotheism Is it that holy to decide to be nothing but a shadow of a man? Trading life with death, mixing lies with hope and living in the shadow of the sword Is it that holy, tell me, to decide to be nothing more than a shadow of a man? Trading life with death, mixing lies with hope and living in the shadow of the sword Arrogance, wealth and violence The trinity of monotheism Arrogance, wealth and violence The trinity of monotheism Is it that holy to decide to be nothing but a shadow of a man? Trading life with death, mixing lies with hope and living in the shadow of the sword 7. In The Deep Call me Samaël Billion years ago I was already there Waiting to exist Call me Samaël Billion years ago When dream took a shape To shape other dreams I was already there waiting to exist At the dawn of my time, the morning of my life When nothing stood between me and infinity Distractions were so few and wonders were legion Now how much of that past reflects on tomorrow Every noise, amplified Every thought, deconstructed Here machines rule supreme You got the goal now get the scheme Chasing above and hunting below At the dawn of my time, the morning of my life When nothing stood between me and infinity Distractions were so few and wonders were legion Now how much of that past reflects on tomorrow Fishing in the deep, plunging into the dark Waking from my sleep, looking for a spark At the dawn of my time, the morning of my life When nothing stood between me and infinity Distractions were so few and wonders were legion Now how much of that past reflects on tomorrow 8. Mother Night Make the most of every day sweet or sour Enjoy the time that you got every minute every hour Give all that you can give for there’s no end in sight Leave all that you want to leave in the embrace of mother night Sometime the pain is so heavy it makes it hard to breathe Feels like it’ll never stop but something new is ‘bout to begin Make the most of every day sweet or sour Enjoy the time that you got every minute every hour Give all that you can give for there’s no end in sight Leave all that you want to leave in the embrace of mother night Sometime the pain is so heavy it makes it hard to breathe Feels like it’ll never stop but something new is ‘bout to begin Don’t fall asleep over your responsibilities Stay awake don’t turn away from life's duties Sadness is happiness born dead Sorrow is an unacknowledged joy Tick-tock, wake up this time is what you got Tap the beginning that you foresee Tick-tock, wake up time to connect the dots What you’re learning will set you free Make the most of every day sweet or sour Enjoy the time that you got every minute every hour Give all that you can give for there’s no end in sight Leave all that you want to leave in the embrace of mother night 9. Pagan Trance Hey! They’re on their way to a higher place Lightly dressed with undisputed grace Statues of flesh animated with light They tend to show what they want to hide They caress the air with every move they make Graceful and reverent they give, they don’t fake They’re like poems to the splendour of creation Barefoot they go in charming procession Their legs, their hips, their breasts, their necks The sun, the air, the water and earth Their arms, their hands, their hair, their backs The sun, the air, the water and earth With flowers in their hair like a crown of noon They’re offering their all to the sun, to the moon One follows the other while the first follow the last They’re living the moment with no future or past Their legs, their hips, their breasts, their necks The sun, the air, the water and earth Their arms, their hands, their hair, their backs The sun, the air, the water and earth [x2] While rooted in the ground they’re floating in the air Enigmatic and sensual, they let nature have her share They are here but they don’t belong Talking in riddles without moving their lips They’re forming a chain with ever open links Hey! Their legs, their hips, their breasts, their necks The sun, the air, the water and earth Their arms, their hands, their hair, their backs The sun, the air, the water and earth The sun, the air, the water and earth 10. In Gold We Trust When money rules the game it diminishes life It narrows perspective to a single line If it is too much it is not enough Whatever we earn, for more you still yearn We’re looking for satisfaction Our world is stuffed with ambition Everything we do, is done in excess We’re junkies addicted to success All our emotions are rationalized We’re careful on what we capitalize Rare rocks and precious metal Our power grows, it’s natural If faith has a use, it’s to let us believe Righteousness is on our side We got nothing to hide Of our goal, of our lust In Gold we trust We’re looking for satisfaction Our world is stuffed with ambition Everything we do, is done in excess We’re junkies addicted to success If faith has a use, it’s to let us believe Righteousness is on our side We got nothing to hide Of our goal, of our lust In Gold we trust Money, prosperity Wealth has authority 11. Soul Invictus All that you’ve never seen now you can feel All that has yet never been now is for real What was behind is now right in front of me I’m looking further than my eyes can see All that you’ve never seen now you can feel All that has yet never been now is for real Where the will is strong there’ll always be a way The dream goes on forever and a day Soul invictus – soul invictus The Universe’s pulsing right under my skin I’m standing higher where the air is thin No longer holding in we let it out No more silent screams now we can shout Where the will is strong there’ll always be a way The dream goes on forever and a day Soul invictus – soul invictus What was behind is now right in front of me But I’m looking further than my eyes can see Souls is growing - stretching endlessly Now I’m moving into Infinity 12. The Truth Is Marching On Break! Dream of domination is an invisible hand Purpose on its own leading to inevitable end Victors are the ones who shape reality Past of mystery for future of prophecy Break, break the chain! The truth is marching on, it blows the lies away The truth is marching on, and marching all the way Once you zoom in, discrepancies stretch out Unverifiable certitude should always arise doubt A lie needs believers to be sustained As power needs slaves to be maintained Break, break the chain! The truth is marching on, it blows the lies away The truth is marching on, and marching all the way The truth is marching on, it blows the lies away The truth is marching on, and marching all the way Inconsistencies believed on a false assumption Breed affirmations repugnant to comprehension Questions and wonders make one uneasy Denial of our instinct hijacks our integrity Break! Break! The truth is marching on, it blows the lies away The truth is marching on, and marching all the way The truth is marching on, it blows the lies away The truth is marching on, and marching all the way Vorph Vocals Xytras Drums, Keyboards Makro Guitars Mas Bass
