A THOUSAND BURNING TEMPLES
Nehemiah
Guide Kathairein ways
Restoration
Purging the unclean
A scourge of human waste
The fire burns a thousand sins
Awakened in flames
I’ll raze a thousand temples
Sacraments unreconciled
Your temples, deficiencies as man
Ruptured from the stone of ten
The flesh is weak
The mind is weaker still
Reborn in flames
I’ll raze a thousand temples
Sacrament denied
Superbia
Ira
Gula
Luxuria
Invidia
Acedia
Avaritia
Immolate
Eviscerate
Conflagrate
Sear
I obliterate…
…the unrepentant soul
No solace in these words thus spake
No anger to ignite the sin
Baptised in the blood of Lamb
Salvation of the righteous man

OF OSIRIS & EXECRATION
Father of Kemet
Begotten of Ra
Desecrated by Set
The throne made thee whole and rode thy chariot
Du’at be thy realm
The falcon flies
Chimaera lust
Abomination
The child’s talons
Rip out the seed
The moon gouged from his face
An eye for an eye
A war of earth and sky
Osiris and Death reconciled
The flesh surrenders itself
Eternity takes back its own
A parade of smoke blackened altars
And the falling of the moon

THORNS THAT PIERCE THE SKULL
Golgotha
Embrace thy fate
The skull that sups the wine that spills from the grail
Caiaphas
With fetid breath
Unleash thy passions
Cry “Insurrection!”
Roma
Nor blameless, thee
Your hands, though washed, drip with sanguination
Diadem
With daggered brow
Humiliations’ crown
To pierce the skull
TO PIERCE THE SKULL!
Through hands and feet
Through Man and God
Three nails divine
The whore’s tears flow
Under blackened sky
Eli! Eli! Lama Sabachthani!
Forgive them El, they know not why
Into your hands I commit
The Earth shall rent
Tear temples’ veil
The dead Saints rise
It is done
One Man’s Eschaton

REVELATION, APOCALYPSE
I Am Alpha
And Omega
First, Last and That which thou seest
Seven are the angels
Seven are the trumpets
Seven are the bowls
That bleed for thee
The beast with seven horns and seven eyes
Worthy is the Lamb
He that once was slain
He shall be the one unleashed
A bow with which to conquer
A sword to take the peace
Three, the black horse rises
Then Death and Sheol released
The souls of the martyrs cry for their vengeance unfulfilled
A star falls from heaven
The saved have been chosen and marked
Seven blasts!
And the third times the seven is poured
Man falls down wracked in pain
Water bloodstained
Scorch the earth
Darkness remains
The End!
I Am Alpha
And Omega
And I claim Babylon
