This is a proud march towards the arcane life-force to come Through occult secrecy and haste Through shattered crystals without a face Since damnation wears the wings of lost remembrances For the long gone suffering lies beneath the deepest of seas And nothing else there Then would be granted to you No more! But to embrace The light of truth The bitter guilt of abandonment
Lost ancient ruins, an invoked gale of crimson sand The dryness of eons past burns your mouth For every mourned departure Breeds some pain And a sad rancorous ghost Hence, you, horrible shadow The trail is cast For you to walk the arc of space and time
In the idea of virtue In the idea of sin Lies my domination over all men! From the rope end dangles a traitor On the cross lies a saint What discern a miracle from profound abomination When they're both thrown away in the jaws of oblivion? What is left to humanity? When the spirit go astray What is left to free will? When all shades are gray The path of the chosen few is paved with innocence And with anger, wrath and fury!
Beware of you, pharisees! Your mask of righteousness hides a secret inner world Of ungodly thoughts and feelings! You were full of wickedness You were like whitewashed tombs Beautiful on the outside But full of dead men's bones Like sand they are
In the idea of virtue In the idea of sin Lies my domination over all men! In the idea of virtue In the idea of sin Lies my domination over all men!
