The Satanic Verses

A dark figure wanders through the desert Consumed by a desolate existence of sorrow Seeking some sort of astral intervention in the most foreboding of caverns A spiritual monstrosity, cast out like a leper Emotions decayed like a corpse made in vengeance [Chorus] Torn by his weak god's burden, he abandons his mission, his morality Submitting to the dark forces with the deepest hatred for humanity Mahound summon the end of life! Mahound summon the end of light! Seeking power to avenge an alienated existence To dethrone the most ancient of gods! What horrors transcended that cold dark desert's night? In caves where lurked the most horrific of deities Where the strength of man has once again failed.... Cowering in the presence of great archangel A tearful plea for power, for dominance, for revenge It mattered not the children to be slaughtered in his name For not even those rivers of tears could cleanse the wounds of his soul In the lightless abyss his spirit was broken The universal consciousness betrayed The time tube shattered, flooded Where the strength of man has once again failed [LEAD: Maelstrom] A grotesque being slithers through the desert A disfigured, mutilated, hallow shell of life [LEAD: Ciemnosc] Eyes burn of satanic embers Defiant of all prophecy and all written destiny Meant to bring peace to this world, he swears it to it's death Satanic messenger.... Mahound Summon the end of light!

The vision came like a paralyzing nightmare The natural world crumbled as if illusion all along Now bound in a chamber of terrorizing hallucinations Tormenting, manipulating the soul [Chorus] This was unlike the other prophecies This was more real than anything but death His thoughts frantically searched for a way To perceive the winged silhouette standing before him That spoke in the shrillest of telepathic tongues A voice that pierced every emotion ever felt More driven than angels that warred for heaven He returned with words of fire and ice A spell to shatter the equilibrium of all being "Have ye thought upon AL-Lat and Al-Uzza?
and Manat, the third, the other?
These are the exalted Gharāniq, whose intercession is hoped for." Is hoped for.....

The face morphed into all horrors of the minds eye Recalled was every tormenting grief and terror This was human mind's perception of it's true form But the paralyzed soul showed something so familiar It bared chains of sorrow and malevolence Unaware of the potential of its own power Of the hatred that built the strongest of empires [Chorus] But it saw a reflection of its shattered self An entity bound, shackled in despair But in defying god and heaven, the Angel Gabriel reshaped the future of this world The trumpet sounded in a fit of rage The verses were spoken and echoed through space time Demons crossed a broken spiritual barrier Invading, warring for the human psyche In a tongue to rival the voice of god It bestowed the falsest of prophecies And with this ultimate, greatest of deceptions It became the god eternally desired And so its new champion set out To reduce the desert's cities to ruin To deface every last god and idol [LEAD: Maelstrom]

Rejoice so gloriously! Shed blood in savage ecstasy! Commence orgies of satanic lust for the Goddesses are desired! Let gore and seamen flow and stain the streets afar! Oh celebrate with me, the satanic gods within our hearts! His words of thunder caused the ground to quake As we butcher and slaughter, and hang their organs in the streets Offering women, children, and elder man alike As we toast goblets of their blood in glorious sacrifice! But while mortal men had raged with Satan in their hearts War waged throughout the spirit realm Mahound trembled in fear, deceived into conversing fate Having committed the greatest universal act... of defiance!

Now as Azrael Destroyer angel of destruction My glare shall scorch this world A need to slaughter more addictive than all the world's heroin Now numb to all but the burning deaths of man The survivors' hearts must overflow with sorrow Their suffering the only cure for the endless pain Echoing is every torturous memory Each reliving itself across a thousand centuries Enough pain and torment To shut down every organism alive I destroy all life, creation in sight And bring enough grief to counter all of history's happiness Creating paradise- a damning vile inferno An Earth of fire Pleasure beyond a million orgasms As they weep with charred dying loved ones in their arms An overbearing ecstasy in their slow torturous deaths and equal torment of their loved ones writhing in pain Azrael...... Complete defilement of both spirit and body Violently disfigured astral vessel- mournful, lightless Genitals of corpses mutilated- souls equally degraded I build an empire of butchered limbs and severed dreams This barbaric madness the most euphoric of highs A state of bliss stronger than all the drugs of man Yet this resulting thirst for blood and chaos Will spiral into infinities Azrael...... Visions of Azrael!

[LEAD: Maelstrom] At last, returned to Jahilia With war and death at each side May fire consume all statues of abominations May their cultures lie crumbled in ruin Alas, great city of Jahilia Where birthed the darkest of wisdom and sorcery I shall paint these walls with the sorrows of forgotten religions A portrait of this most tyrannical vision With gruesome violence Ears to deaf to their cries A new region of terror shall arise With absolute hatred, and hell in our eyes Show their beloved gods their demise Deconsecrate all blessings from the land Disenchant their weak spiritual forces With a corrupted army at my back Demonic lords commanding their thoughts and souls! Lit fires mirror the storied depths of hell Infinite minions lie cloaked in the shadows Bloodiest of wars, most barbaric of deaths All religions perish in oceans of tears "Truth has arrived and falsehood has perished For falsehood is by its nature bound to perish" To perish with the falsest of prophecies Poisoned by the Earth he forsake Withering away with the cultures he destroyed His soul now at the mercy of pagan deities Corrupt Jahlia now hold the darkest of empires A City Visible but not Seen Fortress of the most malevolent of deities The mouth of hell With gruesome violence And ears to deaf to their cries A new region of terror in our eyes With absolute hatred, I see hell arise Show their beloved world its demise!

The verses were spoken and echoed through the sands of time Mortals became vengeful bloodthirsty gods Mahound and Gabriel have brought the end times of man Opened wide the gates of damnation!
