Edict of Blood Lyrics

Lo! Behold! Remember!
The law of the aeon; the blood in thy veins
Upon cold temple stone in the heat of war
Spilled again and again 'til nothing remains...

But the hardest of steel, the sharpest of blades
A vulture of death, the flame of rebirth
The blood poured into the Mistress' cup
And cast upon the thirsty earth!

From Acausal tides
To the mires of materia
This edict sounds
To the throes of our divine hysteria

Let us rescind
Let us resound
Let us reawaken Him and draw down:

Satanas - Merciless destroyer of enthralling forms
Satanas - As the wild and most violent electrical storms
Satanas - The law of the meek trampled under foot
Satanas - The thirsting soils awash in opferblut

A constant reminder lurking in the corner of my eye
A voice remembered from a dream one night
That spake in eldritch tone; chthonic yet beyond the stars
And I returned my gaze to find a labyrinth of scars

Those wounds they widened as the icy stare of drakon
An edict heralding a great new flood
I understood not, though the latent beast within recalled that
Blood calls for the Aeon and the Aeon calls for Blood
