THE DAMNATION IN ME

"Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate"
 
I stand at the gates of Pandæmonium
A slave to the gothic Luciferium
Inked in the blood of conquests biblical
Shed by claws born from flames diabolical
 
I hear your cries of dismay
Echoing from the grave
Thoughts of Heaven now denied
In punishment you’ll find
Damnation for your lost soul
Regrets taking their toll
Existence under the spell
I welcome you to Hell
 
Lines of tortured bodies stretch into miles
Piss yourself for judgment awaits you
For a life lived and your freewill defiled
There’s no atonement in weathered pews
Before the circles of Incontinence
Where cenobites deal godless pleasures
Tease the meat to the point of vomitus
Excremental dominus endeavors
Writhing in agony and disgust
 
I stand at the gates of Pandæmonium
A slave to the gothic Luciferium
Inked in the blood of conquests biblical
Shed by claws born from flames diabolical
 
All little demons
Enthralled with the song
Desecrating the divine
All fallen angels
Crawling unto home
When the bloodlines align
 
Insidious in dreams of children
Came the blessing of cults of Mammon
Covet the damnation of mortals
Covet the damnation of me
 
the damnation in me
the damnation in me
the damnation in me
the damnation in me

 
Pulsating maggots feed from bleeding feet
Cenobites, carnal malefactors
Twist in throes in prostitute disease
The sounds of pounding meat and laughter
As gluttonous butchers feast on the swine
Curled underneath the cold icy rain
To taste the curse of disavowed wine
Pass beyond Cerberus path of pain
 
All little demons
Enthralled with the song
Desecrating the divine
All fallen angels
Crawling unto home
When the bloodlines align
 
Insidious in dreams of children
Came the blessing of cults of Mammon
Covet the damnation of mortals
Covet the damnation of me
 
the damnation in me
the damnation in me
the damnation in me
the damnation in me

 
Can you see the greed in the eyes of holy men?
Greed for gold, greed for flesh
Phlegyas speaks of slime molded ‘neath the Styx
Wrath of the sullen ones
The frustration of the savage in the pits
Leave passion at the gates
As you come before Dis
 
Across the Stygian marsh comes a vile sight
Furies with blackened wings guard the mosques
Casting their infernal flame into night
Surrounded by fat vermin and wasps
Scripture scribed on walls speaking heresy
From the abyss drifts sulfuric ash
Clawing, furiously, vile poetry
When violence comes with teeth that gnash
 
Rising from Phlegethon are the souls of Hell
Plucking away arrows
From Centaurs to the wretched ones in blood
Your strength is failing you
Leading the way to the wood of suicide
Why hath God abandoned me
Beneath the hellish sky?
 
panderers and seducers
what have i become?
flatterers and simoniacs
offer blackened jewels
sorcerers and barrators
on seats of power
hypocrites and thieves
swinging in the eaves
counsellors of fraud
sowers of discord
whispering frantically
to the falsifiers
of society
 
I stand at the gates of Pandæmonium
A slave to the gothic Luciferium
Inked in the blood of conquests biblical
Shed by claws born from flames diabolical
 
All little demons
Enthralled with the song
Desecrating the divine
All fallen angels
Crawling unto home
When the bloodlines align
 
Insidious in dreams of children
Came the blessing of cults of Mammon
Covet the damnation of mortals
Covet the damnation of me
 
the damnation in me
the damnation in me
the damnation in me
the damnation in me
 
HOW CAN I STAND BEFORE IMPOSTER DRAGONS?
SODOMITES AND CENOBITES BEAR THE MARK OF CAIN
I BETRAYED THYSELF TO MYYMIDON HORDES
AND YOU HAVE MURDERED THE SPECTRE AT THE FEAST
WE RIDE THE TIDE OF JUDAS ISCARIOT
OFFERED UP THE SON OF GOD UNTO THE BEAST

 
i spy him watching, waiting
i tremble on my knees
a crown of horns, cloven hooves
staring right back at me
with three godless faces
lucid as my nightmares
black and yellow and red
lucifer is here
 
LUCIFER THE MOURNING STAR
THE LORD OF SUFFERING
SHARE MY AGONY
THUS I BEG OF THEE
LUCIFER THE MOURNING STAR
THE LORD OF SUFFERING
SHARE MY AGONY
THUS I BEG OF THEE

 
I stand at the gates of Pandæmonium
A slave to the gothic Luciferium
Inked in the blood of conquests biblical
Shed by claws born from flames diabolical
 
All little demons
Enthralled with the song
Desecrating the divine
All fallen angels
Crawling unto home
When the bloodlines align
 
Insidious in dreams of children
Came the blessing of cults of Mammon
Covet the damnation of mortals
Covet the damnation of me
 
the damnation in me
the damnation in me
the damnation in me
the damnation in me
