The Agony & Ecstasy of Watain

On chariots of fire they approach A violent force That spurs the storm and spurs the lightning Shine forth across the void Prismatic revelations of eternal death Vibrant in splendour You'll see them coming from afar Across the heavens from the deeps of the underworld They've come to claim what has been theirs for long Their freedom, their ecstasy To illuminate the outer limits And mock the dawn Like ecstasies in night infinite Liberated from the fetters of fate Instant yet constant, to become The everglaring nuclear bliss The architects of a new abyss For we have come to claim what has been ours for long Our freedom, our ecstasy To illuminate the path within To live and die Like ecstasies in the night Shine forth from worlds unborn Blessed be those That bask within thy radiation Glorious victorious Dart forth from storm rent chasm As the future turns into hours On chariots of fire they approach A violent force, a sudden curse That spurs the storm and kills the light Through space and time now thrust The next thousand years are but hours Minutes and seconds then dust

Abominations stir within the all-mind An intrusion in the womb of grace But fear not the dark, my child So the serpent says Ageless, with corruption's grin The tempter's come to bless its kin The very source of all your sins Slithering hither, withershins For you have seen it in your dreams And sensed its presence Your sons and daughters, on their knees The black goat upon its hind legs, standing tall Then you shall know it in your heart That burning yearning The will to kindle hellfire To pace the winding path By way of the primordial sеa Through the wilderness of darknеss From the well of blasphemy We drink with lust and greed Let the light of the night set the tone A sound like rolling rock on stone A spirit cloaked, flesh and bone Making its way into the world On its own Ooh, but not alone Irrevocable, that which awakes Here, where the barrier breaks A reversion of power that gives and takes Riches to the witches, and priests To the stakes Crawl forth From the black cunt of the one A soul reborn in the realms beyond Have you seen the lusting souls that dance forever there? At the gates of equinox To the pipe of the necromancer Where the spheres of hell and Earth align And the flames of the altar rise Wake now from quiescence Thou, who lies dead but dreaming When the stars are ripe Nightmares shall flesh and ascend On the shores when the time draws nigh In the blood of the host that deals death Into the eyes of the stalkers of night From the deeps, at will, we shall rise By way of the primordial sea Through the labias of darkness From the cunt of blasphemy We drink with lust and greed Rise, ye of the tempter's breed Who yearn for the forbidden In the fires of Satan's victory The spirit of defiance shall prevail And be set free

Come close, touch the wounds that grace me You pious manchild, so keen to grasp Why your path is not my path Or why you fear the things I adore But know it is the certainty of death and its stench That I crave, and that makes me want more Not your sanctimonious affirmation Nor your cage of gold No Never saw the dignity in the act to submit or conform And even less so in the willful enforcement Of guilt and of norm Never been able to understand Your voluntary slavery The true rebels I have known They broke their chains, they lived and died free Constantly in the vicinity Of death and demise Eternally in mutiny Against Christ (Christ, Christ) In your world so white and right I'll be the wrong, I'll be the night Your shame, my pride Beyond illusion, beyond sex and race I bow before the leper's grace Beware, ye tender hearts The satanic force of darkness A tumor that festers in the godhead Wild and free, our work must be A cultivation of evil To sting, to twist and stir Blessed by the rabid curse Outcast, exiled and banished Deep in night forlorn Where demons chant At the leper's throne Rising from the slums of Sodom The rank stench of love gone vile Up into the halls of heaven Beware, ye clean, of the unclean In your world of peace and light We are the filth, we are the fight On these fields we are the scythe Now kiss the blisters upon the face Of rotting death, the leper's grace

Ready or not Will come to be known by us all Where leads the winding path Over tar fields aflame, since Eden's fall Cross hidden cracks and furrows Where fiery currents surge Restlessly, like mercury Spilling forth through the ruins of a barren world Thus, you shall stand A naked child before the cataclysm For ready or not, come it will Dark is the deep that you fall into Endless, the void that expands from under you Now the gods claim their sacrifice And the devil his due Strange glows the night, but fear not its shadows They've come to awaken the flame that's asleep within you A cross has been carved in the place where we go to die There they await, to draw every secret from you And the blood of thy heart And the blood of thy heart Then you shall see it clear at last As the mist unveils the moor Here ends the charted lands The path beyond is made visible The time has come to dare the dunes Of endless oceans vast No guiding stars to lead you now Through the labyrinth of our pasts An edgeless map, a nameless space Such is the province of our demise Yet on it goes, this eternal voyage Above a sunken paradise Yet many more kingdoms must fall before You may find your rest there, on the other shore Well I fare for the furthest beacon Fare for the glow Bright, like the light that you go into Life is a dream that is fading away from you Fare now to what's real, fare now to what's true Yours is the night, yours is the shadow Yours is the star that forever shall burn in the dark A cross has been carved in the place where we go to die And for all those that go there with fire in heart, we shall kneel And bless their journey Sail on, sail on Into the night Sail on, sail on Into the light Sail to the souls that shine there Tonight, I stood out by the sea And saw the seventh lighthouse glare The yonder beckons, the twilight calls And one day, I'll meet you there Where unchained spirits, rampant, soar In starless heavens, like before The cataclysm, in timeless time When God was not forevermore

Reaper Eager blows thy wind From beyond the great vast forest Reverend leveler Thy season is now at hand After all, we never stood a chance Thus falls the snow On crosses built in haste For a past never again to return A pallid host tread forth across the skies Yet, fearless like wolves we shall stand For we have seen it in the distance, now, for long So stern Limned in the likenеss of a god The winter of the agеs In the yonder ever restlessly astir Astir The crossroads lie far behind us now Oh, to enter there anew Knowing what we know now Though deep, into the wild we've gone Deeper yet, we're sure to go That much I know, that much I know We go where all must go at last To a nameless grave beneath nameless ruin An ageless curse from an unknown past The winter of the great undoing Funeral winter Firm be thy choke hold at summer's neck As hearts turn to splinters And the worms rejoice For theirs is the kingdom and theirs is the feast Beneath thy pale splendour entombed Come funeral winter Come funeral doom

So have they come to shine upon the North again And to illuminate the temple of our heart? The seas we sail The maze we walk The night in which we've come to know their splendor Deep is their mystery Stern is their light Guardians of our innermost secrets Septentrion, septentrion Watcher and wane of the night And there were things that came to pass That evеr shall remain within their shrine of silеnce Even when we lay pale And our voices have become but whispers From beyond the thinning veil Emerging from out of the shadows I saw And I beheld, in awe and fright A blood-drenched animal trembling in the dark Its seven eyes agleam with Lucifer's light What if we lived our life to the fullest extent? Free unto ourselves Unbound by law What if we were to walk Like pilgrims on a sacred path? What if we truly believed That life is our sacrifice Death, the reward A humble yet dignified offering At the cloven hoof of our lord Until the night wind blows free through our skulls Ride free Fare far Drink deep Die hard As long as this fire burns wild in my heart I shall fight for our freedom, my friend And strive to arrive with my fist held high At the starlit gates of the end
