- - - BORN OF FIRE - - -


I can see the desolation in your eyes
And hear the lamenting sounds of serenades
Fires kiss the streets of your doomed Pompeii
When storms of destruction rain from the skies
That induce the dismay ringing forth from your cries

In your nightmares and lust-filled daydreams
And feverish songs and piercing screams
I welcome your sacrifice and desire
Know that I am, I am born of fire

I was locked away in the cold
Dormant heart of the Earth
In eternal torment, so
Bled through years of rebirth
I am Satan to mine own
And a savior to daughters
In this great but secret show
Drenched in the slaughter waters

I have seen the birth of kings
From the wombs of weeping queens
Raped within houses, so noble
I have seen the death of gods
Drowning in nectar and blood
When our eternity grew so dull

Murder in the name of vengeance
Kingdoms fall in my wake
Behold my ascendance
On knees that beg to shake
Deflowering the virgin
Cunts whimpering for the meat
In our tombs, unearthing
Secrets of heavenly seats

I burn altars away to blow in the wind
And redeem myself behind masquerades
As we walk the fine line of promenades
Will you lash me to posts of gorgon sins
Within scores of decayed in pools of blood we swim

In your nightmares and lust-filled daydreams
And feverish songs and piercing screams
I welcome your sacrifice and desire
Know that I am, I am born of fire

I will eclipse the sun
With graveyard wings
Stretched across the sky
I will eclipse the sun
