歌詞

Always aversive Doing evil in the sight of the lord Judas among twelve I'm the corruption of all commandments I am the scourge of all that cures The hands of Christ never heal I travel on the scythe of the Reaper And suffocate the skies with rot There is no Hell which I am not Unravelled incursion upon god Forever persistence in what is absurd Disfigured by wilful perversion I blast through the soft flesh of cosmos And beat the heavens down from the skies I am ever more monstrous Playing dice with the universe I am the Void that shadows suns I am the Black that swallows stars I am the conflicting rhythm that quakes the spheres I am the pulse of Black Chaos I am nocturnal storm And the nuclear blackness within Eight rayed Terror unfurled Chaotic Will over Order Drawing all forces inward I am the magical engine of occult power I rejoice on blood and ritual death I regenerate by fires fed with human bones I am the Names upon which is called Before the sacrifice is made I am the spell in motion The ritual words as spoken I am a thousand curses For a thousand blessed saints Intellectual subversion I am the door in the soul which opens on Hell Chaosmorphosis of the holy spirit Let there be Madness Many limbs and many teeth Arachnid Archon lurking at the Crossing To swallow all consciousness without a trace Weaving funnels from Zero to Nothing None shall pass Weaving funnels from Zero to Nothing None shall tell Weaving funnels from Zero to Nothing None shall return I reign from infinity to infinity And I reign out of control Uncreated Father of all things I am the Living God
