The Crimson Sacrament
At the night their voices speak to me<br/> Words of woe in ancient tongue<br/> Dead eyes stare with freezing glance<br/> Unlocked is the shrine to dimensions lost<br/> <br/> The source of life divides and yet gets multiplied<br/> Into spheres made of gold<br/> With crystal steps and walls of glass unseen by man<br/> <br/> Through a passage devouring yet renewing itself constantly<br/> A crack in the circle of beginning and the end<br/> <br/> Astral transmitters stream particles in a moment without time<br/> The channeled waters of life reversed<br/> Overflown with the essence of the dead<br/> <br/> Brought back into life by death itself<br/> Grotesque visions of perfect black<br/> Revealed and reflected by eyes<br/> Which hold death deep within

Limbs formed grotesquely, bend over and over<br/> Wounds reopened, cuts that go deeper than flesh<br/> Dripping with the purest of all blood<br/> Poisoning the soil beneath<br/> For all seeds shall perish where this blood flows<br/> Never bleeding in vain, but of joy<br/> Preparing the way before his face<br/> For the great moment of his coming is at hand<br/> When the time has come, then his eyes will again glow<br/> With the light they carry within<br/> The twisted shape formed into an abhorrent constellation<br/> To pillars carrying the temple and what lies amidst<br/> Where in deep wounds the ember still dreams<br/> To be reborn into the fire of aeons<br/> The shrine still keeps the secret<br/> The core, rotten tot he very inner<br/> Cut off from the bloodline, but still pulsation in awe<br/> A rigid sculpture in struggle with it's wounds<br/> A soul eternally devoted<br/> A dismal image from beyond<br/> Carrying the light of set

The dagger of steel slits through the night<br/> The gleaming blade reflects in the shine of the moon<br/> Thirteen candles around the altar of stone<br/> Consecrating light to the flesh which is doomed<br/> Several slashes by a loving hand<br/> And the releasing, last stab into the heart of the child<br/> Spell possessed, conjuring the dead<br/> The dying flesh now bleeds the essence<br/> <br/> Dripping warm into a chalice of gold<br/> Ceremonial steps in the communion of doom<br/> Deform his shape, abduct his soul<br/> Lift the cup, drink the life, brand the flesh with the ritual sign<br/> Spill the blood on the triangle and open the gate for the dead to return<br/> <br/> Cast the firstborn into the furnace and let the carcass return to dust<br/> Despicable flesh, consumed by the flames<br/> Amidst the reek of the blistering remains spirits lift and rise<br/> Restless spectres congregate in joy and dance around the fire<br/> Brought back to life by a wicked rite<br/> Evoked from the cursed lands<br/> <br/> Reaching higher from plane to plane<br/> Across all of the seven they burst and ascend<br/> From the innermost core to the crust they penetrate<br/> In the most demented state of ecstasy they swirl

Those who look into the torrent of the self<br/> Will walk the levels to Henosis<br/> Unchanged silhouettes float horizontal and vertical<br/> Fading and materializing at the same moment<br/> Grotesque deformed faces<br/> Their eyes are stars<br/> <br/> Dead yet glowing with his light!<br/> Glowing sigils are carved into them<br/> <br/> Figures run into walls in a room without end<br/> They never began and will never end<br/> In death they found new life again<br/> They are born and die in endless circles<br/> <br/> The eternal cycle<br/> The alpha and omega<br/> The radiance of the first and the last<br/> Before my astral form manifests the throne of god<br/> The universe is split to the floor<br/> In the center of all rises the eye<br/> Surrounded by rays of purest light<br/> <br/> It sevenfolds in the divinity of aeons<br/> The final path opens, five points lead the way to the holiest of shrines<br/> One gate at last!<br/> On the pinnacle I stand, beneath and above all!<br/> The flame of the west shines<br/> Devouring yet creating!<br/> The cycle ends!<br/> Arise omega arise!

Collapsed into an unconscious state<br/> Wrapped in vacuum like transparency<br/> Separated from the bonds of existence<br/> Forms and figures pass by<br/> Shapeless they are<br/> Their whispers turns into shattering screams<br/> Voices howling from all directions<br/> Bemoaning their loss in total despair<br/> Forever drifting away<br/> Continuously fading in lifeless bliss<br/> Soaked into the restless maelstrom of the cold void<br/> To begin their eternal odyssey<br/> Upon the shores of solitude
