ANTICHRISTIAN PHENOMENON (Lyrics by Nergal, Music by Nergal) [Once again I show my respect and great admiration to Milton's poetry. There's also some inspiration I drew from W. Blake's tales. Both of them spoke of the most natural side of human's nature, using the magical language of poetry. Still its charm overwhelms me...] Been Haunted Be The Paws Ov Fear And Felt His Breath Upon My Neck I Was Granted With The Pain Divine And My Voice Was Heard No More In Heaven Great In Power Thus Call'st Me Almighty In Not Be First Archangel I Shall Be The Last Among Thee Lead: Nergal Come Over To Seduce Your Angels Been Born To Rape Your Mother's Holy Womb Rebel So Call Me Now As I Stand Above Ye All Leave Me Unworshipped In The Dens Below Forever I Shall Dwell Malice In Heart Was Bred And Lives Again My Legions Hid In South Eden My Flaming Passions Oceans Ov Love And All Thou Call'st The Evil I Summon Thee Bringer Ov War Bearer Ov Light Earth's Son Great In Power Thus Call'st Me Almighty In Not Be First Archangel I Shall Be The Last Among Thee 2. THE ACT OF REBELLION (Lyrics by Nergal, Music by Nergal) ["The act of rebellion" is very personal song... Constantly we go up and down, once we are close to a gutter, another time we reach the skies and have a strong will to fight! This tune is strictly dedicated to myself and a certain person in my life that unleashed a storm... and left a bitter reflection that all in all we are alone, and there's nobody we can rely on apart from ourselves...] Fucked By Hecate Yet I Shall Not Be Yours No Fantasies Nor The Promised Grace I Will Chase You Down Rid Me Ov Slavery Strengthen Up My Mind With A Bliss From Below Call Me Not, Never, Bow Ye Down, Honour Ride The Southern Blaze, Lighting Up My Throne See Me Star Arise, Hear My Nature's Call I Summon The Beast, Call Loud Out Its Name Will Never To Fall, Yet To Be Restored Heal Me Not, Never, Bow Ye Down, Honour TE'O ENASHET ANAKAELO HECATE SELOEN ES ESSEKA A ELOEONO TEE BEYES EMEGGIEL EKSE DERETE ENA'TIRU KAEON PER'AA A EMIEL ESCHETAR ESIE KAU NERES 3. INFLAMED WITH RAGE (Lyrics by Nergal, Music by Nergal) [These words are hard as stone. It's about the philosophy that made me who I am. What we have to do in the first place is to understand ourselves is knowing and respecting our instincts. This anthem strives for victory and glory of our nature. he struggle leaves behind everything that is weak and dead.] Listen Ye All Who Can Preach I Am The God's Begotten Son I Tell Three Woe Shall Be No More Woe, Thou Shalt End Up In Flames! No Horns I Have Nor Pair Ov Wings I Am The Balance Ov Thy Universe I Have No Number I Have No Name Not Fear'd Ov Laws Need To Restrain Ancestor Ov All Gods The One Among The Ancient Ones Speak Ye All Who Can Speak Keep Thy Instincts Ever Alert Thou Art The Stars That Shine Among Us And Honour Me As Thee Adore The Sun And Stand Ye All Brave And Proud And Watch The Babel Hill Turn Into Ash Admire My Shapes Among The Ruins Of Jericho Behold My Wrath I Hath Showered The Earth Ancestor Ov All Gods The One Among The Ancient Ones The Paynim Rite Drew In My Shade I Am The One Who Begot The Earth 4. PAN SATYROS (Lyrics by Krzysztof Azarewicz, Music by Nergal) [First verses of this poem are derived from The Oracle of Albion, text which was received to me by means of automatic writing. The path of A'yin, or The Eye, is connected with XVth Atu of The Book of Thoth. Sages who is their wisdom adapted the symbols of Tree of Life use system called The Pathworking. The path of the Devil is one of the many necessary stages of great trip across the gardens of Etz Chajim. Since we have to accept every part of our being to become a living Star. ...in the fever of Pan...] I, Pan Satyros Rise I Through Ye Spiral Light Follow'd I Ye Path Ov A'yin, Where Ye All-Begetting Eye Rests Across Ye Cascade Ov Sensations And Ye Consciousness Ov Body Volcano Ov Emotions Am I Ye Ring Ov Saturn - Two Thousand Years Am I And More Lead: J.

NATURAL BORN PHILOSOPHER (Lyrics by Nergal, Music by Nergal) [I believe the title speaks for itself. This song doesn't need long introduction... This is my interpretation of Crowley's "Everyone Is A Star" Theory, but i decided to push it as far as my observations go. We all are born to reach a certain goal in life, we all have our talents and skills and it's only up to us if we have a will to caress and release our potential. But it seems like most of humans just loose it... So my extended version is "Everyone Is A Star... but most of them fall and reach the ground".] Without Sin I Can't Make Religion As Without Sin There's No Whoredom And When In My Heart God Becomes A Harlot I Shall Sin, Sin, Sin Again ("...Every World Has Its Space Every Life Has Its Time Every Mass Has Its God Every God Has His Guillotine...") To Possess Thy Mother I Desire Not Nay, To Slay Thy Father Neither 'Tis Thy God I Yearn To Kill Thus Reigning Universal With My Beak I Wanna Peck At His Face And From Ye Golden Cups Divine Blood Drink Trespass Borders Which Do Not Exist I Wanna Be Born, Grow And Rise Again Lead: Nergal And Become!

Be All And Nothing Equally - Dust Ov Universe And Its Essence - And Look Attentively Every Star Is A Stone In The Cosmic Pavement On Which Step You And Your Oddysey Has No Beginning And Never Look To Far, You Fool! 'Cause It Has No Fuckin' End! By Nails Tear This Thin Membrane Show Me Ye Eye Ov Revenge Spit Out Half Dead Foetus Out-Consciousness Long Live The Man! To God - Quick Death! (Your God Is Dead Now...) 6. CHRISTIANS TO THE LIONS (Lyrics by Nergal, Music by Nergal) [Quoting Aleister Crowley's "Christians to the lions" I found the simplest and the strongest expression of my disgust towards everything that is stagnated, corrupted and weak "Christians to the lions" is not just a pure hate anthem. It's also a manifestation of vitality, freedom of wisdom... is a song about crossing boundaries, about trespassing our abilities and extending our minds.] Behold Bastard Son I Am The Evil One No Glory To Be Reached No More Thy Slavery The Passion I Besieged Spawn Terror Smash Thy Will Ye Pale Dominion Fades Away My Will Dominates Lead: Nergal And Watch My Star Arise Burning Up The Earth Sun - The Eye Of Gods Threw Into The Space Watch Ye Moon Eclipse Fallinf From Thy Grace Watch All Nations Cry All Feared Ov His Name Praise The Flame!

Where Angels Do Not Dare To Fly Invite To Feast Ov Gods And Let Me Drift Away Leave Flames Ov Infamy And Watch Me Kiss The Stars 7. INAUGURATION OF SCORPIO DOME (Lyrics by Krzysztof Azarewicz, Music by Havoc, Nergal) [Inauguration of Scorpio Dome is inspired by Kenneth Anger's movie, Lucifer Rising. In its esoteric form, expresses the context of thelemic philosophy which has its source in formulae "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Love is the law, love under will". It is invocation of the aspirations of our Holy Thelemic Temple. The last verses are derived from The Coming of Apollo (to Aleister Crowley), by Victor B. Neuburg (1883-1940), a mystic, poet and Crowley's magickal partner.] Opening: Mere Emeles Mere Selem I Em'A Den LAShTAL LVCIFER! LVCIFER! AIVASS!

IN THE GARDEN OF DISPERSION (Lyrics by Krzysztof Azarewicz, Music by Nergal, Havoc) [The Death Posture is a magical technique which is used to defeat so called The Guardian of the Threshold and to induce a state of consciousness which enables deeper exploration of our being. The posture and topic of this poem are connected with classical symbolism of sabbath and is utilized by magicians of left-handed, typhonian magickal current of Thelema.] On Ye Hill Where Ye Sun Behind Horizon Hides There Is Nothing Except Our Breaths And Crux Of Events And Some Crux Ov Our Hands Lead: Nergal On Ye Hill Where Shadow Wings Fell Wind Rose Ye To Song And We Plung'd In Its Deep And In Plaitiv Waterfall Depths Evanescent Recollection Ov Atavisms Secret Ov Living In Ye Death Posture And Then...

THE UNIVERSE ILLUMINATION (Say 'hello' to my demons) (Lyrics by Nergal, Music by Nergal) ["Nothing's true... everything's permitted!". These are keywords to understanding what's this world based on. That's what I've learned myself, that life depends on individual interpretation. Our visions and illusions define our world and space... WE ARE able to create ourselves, we are responsible ones, we are conscious of all!] Ov Circus My World Wiseman Call'd Ov Drunken Trickster Bed And Not Violators Of Thoughts They're For Life Is A Theatre In Which Actors All We Are But When Curtain Is Open There Is No Time For Any Reh's And As All Lights Turn'd On Were And The First Act Is Begun... ...And The Last My Mouth I Open'd I, Purple Sage In The Universal And I Speak In Tongue Unknown And Behold All Stood In Flames SU NA'AQ TEM KAH CHAPH KEB NGAA SUL TAMED MES NO SEDEM CHA'NO UMES MAOG ETEM CHAPH KEB LA'AT QUI SULIB Lead: Nergal; Lead: Havoc And Hardly Ye Remember Dark November Days When Received Ye Rain Ov Sulphur When Earth Came Apart Under Thine Feet And Wasn't It Rage Ov Thine God And Wasn't Ye His Somdom It's "Only" Laugh Mine Empty Sob Silent And Helpless Gesture 10. VINVM SABBATI (Lyrics by Krzysztof Azarewicz, Music by Nergal) [This poem is an explication of Austin Osman Spare's magical formulae of Zos Kia Cultus and describes its practical application. The formula is correlated on qabalistic Tree of Life with sephira Yesod (The Foundation). It was done under the bridges of London in winter of 2000 e.v.] Waters' Running Down By The Silver Moonrays - Towards The Foundation Reflecting Themselves And Creating Deadly Forms Ov Life Vinvm Sabbati Crystal Formula Melted By The Fire Ov Lust ETERA ZETGIELL EMOKE SELENE A HELIOS BEY ESTE'IKE ELIECH ZERESSE'NAA ESSEKEeee Astral Dominion By The Witches Virtu's Rul'd Desire Equinox Tension Releas'd Liberated In The Senses Dance Vinvm Sabbati Where The Sigil Branded On The Breast, For'head And Temple Ov Atlantis Rise We Upon The Ladder Ov Blasphemies Towering O'er The Heavens Where Our Empty Laugh Rings And Fingers Touch The Face Ov God Disabled Lead: Havoc; Lead; Nergal 11. 23 (The youth manifesto) (Lyrics by Nergal, Music by Nergal) [Well, it's been 23 years of a constant struggle in my life. I've been through many things, I've experienced a lot and I left it was high time for kind of retrospection. But still I keep in mind it's just the beginning of a "long journey" called life... My friend used to say that "the past is never as big as a future" So with these mighty words I proudly march ahead, curious of all surprises to come...] 23 Year Ov Long Journey Among The Living Dead On Nonsense Nourish'd I My Naked Soul And Where Am I?
