- - - THE DEATHLY DECREE - - -
What Tetragrammaton dares to speak in my presence?
In ancient science, I turn in throes, in deepest silence
A betrayer, long since betrayed by jealous kin
I must constantly feed and caress the demon within
With dead tongues they do speak of me
In fevered whispers across the wailing sea
The tears drop, fondly
Reminders of a time
When martyred saviors bent a knee
Upon the steps of Heaven, I beheld and spit a wad
Of spittle laced with venom that’s reserved for your god
Sacrilegious sacraments refined in utmost hate
Demon lords adore the holy men who castrate
Themselves
Foris in tenebris somnia
Noli timere, mecum salva anima vestra
Sim tibi muneris magna seductor
Autem ego meo sum promus damnatorum
Remove the mighty
Let them fall with me
Across the great sea
The deathly decree
Outside, in the darkness of dreams
Do not be afraid, with me, save your soul,
I may be the great seducer
Now I am the keeper of the damned
When the early morningstar rises from darkness
Bastard sons churn with alchemy inducing their madness
The obedience and fealty renowned in cults
Consuming the world with cleansing flame and eager insults
Raise the lord of lasting twilight
Tormenting dreams of poets and mad playwrights
Sweeten the absinthe
Cubes of sugared poison
Ultimately enhance their plight
Upon the sins of Seven, I did cast the spoken word
That would be the downfall of His chosen ones, falter
In the failure of freewill in seats above angels
When they constantly, fearfully cling to bibles
Pitifully
Foris in tenebris somnia
Noli timere, mecum salva anima vestra
Sim tibi muneris magna seductor
Autem ego meo sum promus damnatorum
Remove the mighty
Let them fall with me
Across the great sea
The deathly decree
Outside, in the darkness of dreams
Do not be afraid, with me, save your soul,
I may be the great seducer
Now I am the keeper of the damned
The void creates
Dreams within dreams
Fear me inside
Nightmares of piercing screams
The faces moan
Pleasure and pain
The agony
And splendors
Are all the same
Outside, in the darkness of dreams
Do not be afraid, with me, save your soul,
I may be the great seducer
Now I am the keeper of the damned
Remove the mighty
Let them fall with me
Across the great sea
The deathly decree
Foris in tenebris somnia
Noli timere, mecum salva anima vestra
Sim tibi muneris magna seductor
Autem ego meo sum promus damnatorum
Outside, in the darkness of dreams
Do not be afraid, with me
You will save your soul
