1.
A newborn cries out in anguish! With feverish spasms he tries to withdraw himself back within himself Unable to grasp the cruelty of his creators He bows down his head and begins... His pilgrimage of misery A lonely via dolorosa Paved with pages Torn out from the book of life No oasis in sight to still your stagnation But slow motion decay On this road to perditon You are accompanied by... Oathbreakers, charlatans and liars Murderers, rapists and thieves Harlots, gluttons and sodomites Tell me child Do you feel the cold grip of death? Reaching out for your spine, ready to break it on a whim And all the sacred trees have been uprooted Still your blood and spirit still crave That state beyond maimed bodies and crushed wills Which separates mere beasts from men And elevates men to gods
2.
We charged forth from Edens bosom Like rapid hounds, ravenous and wild With a new sun rising behind us... We set out to wage war against ourselves To enslave the globe and to conquer the stars Bending the cosmic laws beneath our will And for a moment the gods became flesh Slowly turning into a morbid parody of themselves Truly the meek shall enherit the earth Let them have the ruins and be buried therein With an old sun setting before them This burden would be too heavy Even for Atlas to carry
3.
Oh what horror to wake from such savage dream My fingers still clutched around my brothers throat Our bodies stained with dirt, blood and excrements I can still hear our senseless howls linger On the cavern walls It was the screeching sound of your fall That pulled me from slumber I watched you plunder across the firmament Burning and brilliant O most flawless star Surely the fires which burnt your wings Will set the world aflame. Tell me Heosphorus What was your transgression? Your crime... Why were thou cast down from your lofty heights? To crawl as beast among beasts In this profane mud Oh what horror to wake from such tranquil sleep A searing pain running across my back My immaculate skin, stained with dirt, blood and excrements Woe, how rapid and sickening the descent from grace was!

Is this where the gods come to die? Where all colours cease to exist Where there's no air to breath And no sound can be heard But a static crackling of entropy Above a desert of titan bones Bleached by rays of a lifeless sun And among the remains Pale and shivering wretches search For a meaning In attempt to fill their inner void Trying to hide their ugliness with grotesque postures And self-righteous pride So bare witness, as your knees break beneath you! The gore soaked cogs turn A frenzied finale to the end dance The nyght is nigh And we all must pass into it.
5.
A sudden flood of lead. A wound torn ex nihilo. In the emptiness luminous ashes fall Like white phosphorus Over heavy, sterile water And like a trail of blood the spirit crept across the filthy cosmic floor Slowly dripping to this sewers of misery... As the foremother laid bare The seed of Adam ran from Her labia onto the dusty ground And the father proclaimed in defeat: " All who pass through this gate... Abandon hope". In this valley behind the back of god Where shadows grow larger by the moment Only to hang upon the face of earth Like a funeral veil In this valley behind the back of god Where shadows grow larger by the moment The Devil tends to His flowers And we bloom Flesh swollen with carnal ecstasies and lust The son stumbled on And the solarfire within His eyes began to fade. Reduced to barren vessels full of scorn To mules riden by impotent impulses Look upon your visage, weep and despair!
