Raising its horns Proudly lifting The hooves In denial of decay The moon like a white rose glares Flowers of fear Fertility like a shadow Fading crimson My memories The sun falls and the world grows dim ’Tell us, how will our end come?’ ‘Have you found your beginning that you are looking for the end? The end is where you started’ ’Tell us, how will our end come?’ ‘You who stand at the beginning – You will know the end And not taste death.’+ Birth is pain-filled Death is rebirth Like a bloom withers at night Sleep until the moon and stars die The Pentagram, engraved and luminous A Word of Truth, the Night Star Burns aside the Invisible Mystery, the Shadow of the Night From the Earth is drawn the blood that’s Risen From Below +Gospel of Thomas, Logia 18

7 sorrows, 7 swords pierce through hollow embers A fainting chant – arise and multiply Majestic resonance, echo, crumbling to dust My sin, the sin for which I’m greatly cursed The pagan screech from the beat of raven’s wings Resounds against the star-encrusted sky So Rise, O Man, stand up and be joyful For pain you shall have in abundance The only time of peace is when we’re at war Bringing death to a life That will die for torture Those who cry, “Please, we never wished it so!” They shall be the first to die When the rivers finally cease to flow But with the blood you cried to receive And the land gives nothing but the bodies Of the slain who did try To escape through a locked window He weeps, laments, surrenders all his miracles Quickly, come out of the shadow of the Cross Has fate snuck in and mounted upon my body? Sadly something in my heart does not wish to be cured Far beyond heaven and earth Empty space comes to an end This I confess to you When will we finally be satisfied? Only with the light of battle in our eyes Our revolution is against the inhumane world I feel poisoned – I die in your arms Send my soul through twilight to heaven This is like confessing a murder

Silence The moon ceases her path in the air The Will It stealeth like a thief+ Hold onto me with the need to be forgotten Enter my life with the stillness of the tomb A finger on the trigger like one grabs at love gone rotten More than death my eyes now see The maiden descends To the bloodstain on the stage The risk in her fear A bullet shot with rage A thimble of priest’s tears nourishes my lover’s garden Through this life-death force with my scars at the gate The game is mere seduction like a flower quickly trodden Star-crossed hellish child, my nemesis The maiden descends To the bloodstain on the stage The risk in her fear gone away With this she comes of age Around me flame, within me, death! Holy Saints and Martyrs Why do your relics turn to dust Beneath my feet As I trod down a path to ruin? Burn me, I thirst for fire And on these bright red wings I’ll take you higher How long will you hide Lord? Oh these chains of memory never rust Now at all times I can see in my mind’s eye The unsatisfaction in faces like rain-beaten stones All their eyes fixed they are hoping to find Uncontrollable mystery lurking in these human bones Now silence ends and the moon waxes so sweetly As I fly through the air reality grows faint My finger on the trigger like one clings to love in heaven A hole inside me – winds converge The maiden descends To the bloodstain on the stage And I look to the light in the air The red wings spread in despair

Only You 05:29
Only You My heart breaks, bleeding to death Shattered awake, nothing but breath What are you now, new virgin snow? You melt in my arms as I hold you close Light explodes in my soul, fragments the whole With distant eyes I sit and wait, closing the gate The fire is out, warmth gone thereof My wounds soothed by the stars above Gold wine is drunk, dregs remain Bitter as wormwood, salty as pain God’s ears are filled with silence yet the call of the drum Sounds in my chest, eternal rest, descend to hell I’ll love him ‘til his thickened skin is torn to shreds ‘Til his last drop of blood is shorn I’ll love him ‘til his dry bones fall apart ‘Til the ghost is satiated in his heart In my fight to be alone I peer beneath his tombstone In the crypt I behold a shadow in the air now growing cold With my heat the cold now unites Creates a mist so thick I have no sight What can penetrate sadness so true? Only You Silence around, leaf falls to leaf Through the trees, longing now creeps Perceive yourself, perceive now God All is dust – what more do you want? Deep in the darkness in his face I found my place What penetrates sadness so true? Only you

Am I worth it? Pull the seam I look myself in the eye and scream The charges lead us forth into the night We meet our demons, our allies in the fight Slap my face. Clench my fist Bury my sorrow in false bliss Even this war is not unlike a dream There’s no protection – the enemy’s me For sensual friction is largely fiction And so is love, and so is love. I’ve known rivers as ancient as my shame Older still than the blood in human veins For love alone do you conspire The Fiery Angel of Desire But if love is meant to take me higher Where is the sin in my pure desire? Oh my blood purified, purified through pain Strike again, I run, can’t clean my stain Transfixed eyes belie the treasured prize The Fiery Angel of Desire Sensual friction is largely fiction And so is love, and so is love I’ve known oceans deep as my despair Filled with terrors, creatures of nightmare For love alone do you conspire The Fiery Angel of Desire I feel my soul encased in ice Each time my heart breaks it lets out more light I am here with you, I’m part of you Love, change not, but live to the edge of doom Transfixed eyes belie the treasured prize The Fiery Angel of Desire

Ave Satanas 04:14
Ave Satanas Nomine Satanas Altare Inferi In terror of the End, You, who knew Him Shall fall Strange is the night where the black stars arise And strange moons circle the skies Song of my soul, my voice is dead Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed+ Domine Satanas ui regit terram et descendat beneficium tuum Satan lives in Death And Death is your ultimate test Ave Satan! Songs that Hades shall sing Ave Satan! Here lay the tattered King Ave Satan! Warm blood, chalice extends But stranger still Is the Lost Carcosa Ave Satan! Along the shore the cloud waves break Twin suns sink behind the lake Song of my soul, my voice is dead Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed Dry and die in the Lost Carcosa+ Ave Satan! Here lay the tattered King Ave Satan! Dark realms move in closer Shadows lengthen In the Lost Carcosa +Robert W. Chambers, The King in Yellow

Her star rises in mist from the sea at evening ‘Remember the beauty of my caress’ O memory -- her wares cannot perish How I smell the perfume in her blood My fever is high I’ve seen through the sheltering sky To the horrors above this Sharp Edge of the Earth Who can defend love? That night he woke sobbing, a well miles deep To the streets of gold falls his dimming star No memory save the faceless voice whispering ‘The earth is sharp, trust the blade that cuts you’ My fever is high I’ve seen through the sheltering sky To the horrors that lie on this Sharp Edge of the Earth Who can defend love? The Earth’s Sharp Edge Is sharpened by the will to approach death. And the flower that dies Is the one we nourish the most The hour arrives When the bloom turns to dust And the earth’s sharp edge cuts you Finally the garden is barren The blind fluttering moth toward the candle flies Offers blessings to thee, then burns falls and dies To the streets of gold fall its burning wings Like our prayers of incense its smoke rises to God

It is torture that you kill me As your knife goes gliding in Cut my vein to the spirit Of the child I have been My life screams as you carve me Hold my guts inside your hands Heaven brings newly warmed blood As you drain my heart again With blind acceptance I swallow all your lies Yet consumed by rage I learn only to reside In fear of the apparition of the revolution Apparition of the Revolution Poised at the edge of destruction Fist held straight up in the sky I marvel at the corpses moving Is it I who give them life And still am I to blame As the water’s closing in Submerged in futile tragedy The rumbling of The End Yet a 1,000 armies’ poisons never could stop my grief Some angels had the nerve to interrupt my peace In admiration of the apparition of the revolution And in a wild and sudden dance We mocked at Time, Fate, and Chance Singing, “God is Joy, and Joy is Love” And in our eyes there flashed a glow Of brightness to and fro And in this all our song arose You spoke, ‘I see your eyes grow dim With all the sorrow of men Now wrapped in dreams again Be still, my friend’ Apparition of the Revolution Finally I grasp your pleasure It’s to see me slowly burn The revelation no longer ghostly Solid form of rebellion [A mother dreams of her sons united Her children’s eyes drawn blank and flat] With each step I further fall into the void With each life I lived I stopped just slightly short In dreaming of the Apparition of the Revolution By hunting for the Apparition of the Revolution In dying for the Apparition of the Revolution Out of love for the Apparition of the Revolution

I saw a wave curling through the sky Around a mountain ten miles high Sound of my heart, sleeping fire Hold my hair I came to find them, invisible light Beings of stillness, eagle eyes Silent as owls, spinning stars Talons rest My bones are broken, three times blessed My breasts are open, silver nest My children scattered So far away the Shadows of Emptiness Say na So far away the Shadows of Emptiness I walked here backwards crying for the sun The incense held me smoke and stone Calling you home Breath hearts beat as One The wolf he told me the form was wrong So I reached down to search the bones Soaring above Great White Lake Frozen sighs My shimmering matter, thousand eyes My hearth your cradle, reindeer fly How can I help you? So far away the Shadows of our Goodbyes Say na So far away the Shadows of Emptiness
