1. Intro







2. Black Magick Curse

Messengers of doom come forth and destroy
Move and appear, blasting winds which multiply
Sorcery.... Thoth
Voodoo.... Damballa
Black.... Tchort
Magick.... O-Yama curse!
I summon thee from the hot winds of hell
Appear and serve me well for I command thee
Sorcery.... Astaroth
Voodoo.... Behemoth
Black.... Marduk
Magick.... Euronymous curse!
I am the One and the same
The true worshipper of the highest, ineffable King of Hell
Mighty light and burning flame,
O' how you glorify and unveil the truth through your
hallowed words of wisdom
Destroy - those who would try to stop me
Destroy - all that would lead me into harms way
Destroy - those who wish me ill success
Destroy - all that is fucking holy you are the stagnante ones
Slaves ... you will achieve nothing
Hail the Great Tempter for he is not silent
Black magick curse






3. Dawn Of The Apocalypse

Abbadon, by craft of extinction draping the altruist light
Ever- burning the splintered conscious
Cleansing the sickened and the trite
Azazel, by craft of contention forging our dread medium
Ever- killing all the slaving dogma
Rousing the timeless Elysium
Human abasement a viral sacrament
A world in ruin, diseases heaven sent
This is the dawning of our discontent
Purification; the passion and intent
Glorious Satan, the icon now ascends
For this is the dawning of our discontent

Dawn of the Apocalypse
We, the strong
We, the conquerors
We are dominance
We are Legion
Tiamat, by craft of malevolence granting our inspiration
Ever- noble in her violence
Scourging into completion
Fenriz, by craft of nature crushing the obstinate worm
Ever- hungry for the twilight
Lead us into victory
Dawn of the Apocalypse






4. Sanctity In Blasphemous Ruin

Welcome to my dwellings of unholiness
Upheld, the blackest dreams... O' infernal bliss
Tabernacles pleasured and continuance lies in
The innocents existence
Come!
Mighty Babalon, mother of Abominations
Grant me the flesh, grant me the fear
Grant me sanctity in ruin
Down through the bowels of unholiness
Upheld, the blackest deeds... O' infernal bliss
I am he who is malevolence, raping the weary so diminished
The Realization
"A sanctity in blasphemous ruin; a perversity enamored divine
Hallowed is my name, my crown of desires pierces the heavens
Lucifer! Coalesce and feed, may the angles of the first become
the substance of the third. This is my covenant, my legacy
for the one true god I hail to is me
Wrought in blood, writhing in your degredation
Gods? Saviors? Icons of humility
FEAR - FLESH - FATE
Thus spake Zarathustra
Defoliate the transluscent skin, once bethlehem,
and serve amongst the fallen as a temple of utter carnality
I am hunger, my will to power
FEAR - FLESH - FATE






5. Came No Ray Of Light







6. Flag Of Victory

Buried beneath the centuries,
memories of horrific prophecies, the word of god forced upon the weak
Acceptance, blinded they will be
Silent, the flesh withers away
Ra-Hoor-Khuit! cleanse us thy kingdom, defy this by fire and blood
My sanctum, this majesty of sin
These structures of malevolance inherit my darkened spirit
Storm the gates, spiral portal descends
I quicken with the burning of barren relics
Excoriate the myth, slaughter of their precious lamb
all is fading from the Osiris strain
Vengeance, our fucking vengeance
Christ, you are crucified once again
Now inverted, my dream unfolds
All has faded from the Osiris strain
The storm bleeds the frail light,
Above, beneath, all that lay beyond the heavens
Your beloved fixture of flesh and oak ingest the
silhouettes from below
Growing blacker... blacker... blacker.... blacker
Ebony is the colour of our salvation
Vengeance, our fucking vengeance
Christ, you are crucified once again
Now inverted, my dream unfolds
Tear down the walls of gold...






7. Behold The Throne Of Chaos

The knell tolls... divine holocaust by the grace of the black moon
The apocalyptic vision for all the world to bear witness to this,
the opening of the wound
Your numinous kingdom now flows with blood
Antagonist.... come forth and defy my bloodwar at the first light
of dawn
Crowned lord beheaded before me; glimpse your god dethroned
Iconoclast, the glorification of darkness
All is gone.... he is dead
Pureblood of iniquity unfurl the wings of infamy
Scraph enthralled by desecration
Our bloodwar towards completion
Purgate all thought on divination
The knell tolls on forever
Lightless.... amid empyrean collapse
Behold the throne of chaos
Lightless.... amid empyrean ablaze
Behold the throne of chaos
Defy my imperious vehemence, their kingdom birns in flames
The ashes of god I bequeath beneath our feet.... defiled
In reverence... in reverence... in reverence they weep
Defy my imperious vehemence, their kingdom burns in flames
The ashes of god drape the earth, the pious gather....
watch as their sacrosancts bleed
In reverence... in reverence... in reverence they weep
in the Sign of the Horns
They weep in the Sign of the Horns, glory to blasphemy of idols
Satanic Millenium.... upheavel
Let the joyless be adorned with horns






8. The Night Has A Thousand Eyes

We rose from the earth and fell from the heavens
Exaltes saints of flesh and will
Fall into the opaque silk that is the night
We are the provenance of fear and the heralds of the profane
Call us fiends (oh, the apostasy
Call us demons (oh, the apostasy)
But we are just wolves in our right, hunting and
feasting on the human bread
So infantile and yet so ripe






9. Societe Des Luciferiens

In no human brain can sufficient space be
found for the rentless logic of hard fact
until all pre-existance delusions
have been finally annhilated,
half measures are not of no avail
we must go down to the very roots
and tear out, even to the last fiber, we must be,
like nature, hard, cruel, relentless, ragnar redbeard.

Beauty in purity the darkness glows the flesh
through this the black flame of satan
thou walketh in hell
thy senses are awakened to the joy of rebirth
the gates are flung wide and thy passage to heralded
by the deathless cries of his guardian beasts
his searing brand shall be evermore
emblazoned in thy consciousness
it's fiery meaning shall make thee free
in the mist of our black paradise
shall undefiles wisdom rule the rites
of christ are but rites of death
now receive the truth

Arise! Invoke the blasphemous name
the lord of Sodom, the god of Cain
joy to the flesh indulge in the flesh forever

[*] The ever fading light
the light of redemption
we appear as ravens through the mist
night fallen, all devouring
shrouds of blackness
silently consume all that is pure
obscure his world, brothers of the bloodwar
for we are unchained and almighty [x2]

Arise! Invoke the blasphemous name
the lord of Sodom, the god of Cain
joy to the flesh indulge in the flesh forever

In nomine magni dei nostri satanas

Solemn, the lifeless angel of dawn
silhouette, the fading symbol of life
disappears amongst the shadow of wolves

[* - REPEAT]

The celebrations of christ become the
worship of abhorrence
chant the pagan of threnody for the
council of virtus,
a requiem sung for all the
divine their lives are now exhausted
as murdered day casts the sky in blood
over the befallen city of man

Arise! Invoke the blasphemous name
the lord of Sodom, the god of Cain
joy to the flesh indulge in the flesh forever

In nomine magni dei nostri satanas

Solemn, the lifeless angel of dawn
silhouette, the fading symbol of life
disappears amongst the shadow of wolves

In the midst of our black paradise
shall undefiled wisdom rule
the rites of christ are but rites of death
accept the absolute
vanish into the void of thy empty heaven
for thou wert never nor shalt thou ever be
undefiled wisdom
it s fiery meaning shall make thee free
societe des luciferiens:
it's fiery meaning shall make thee free
societe des luciferiens:
it's fiery meaning shall make thee free
societe
