Serpent Oracle Lyrics

Abbas Diabolus Exorior ex Abyssus

Thy blood and thy flesh - Come, admonish the worldly by earth and too by water
Thy mind and thy spirit - Unlock, unlimit the pathway to Hir by fire and by air
An axis in flux, whorls the hooked crux with the militancy of Mars
An eye in the mind, burning behind- yearns to remind y'of the realignment of the stars

An unearthly wyrm fiercely snarling at the entrance
To the road leading backward t'ward the starry dark

It's venom encountered as lurid plumes of smoke
That billow as dancers, so tortuously tangled
To dance with the Devil and dancing until death
So strange were it's visions; that serpent oracle

And thence I pressed forth; drunk on on this force that welcomed me through gates of iron
And as many beasts; poised t'ward the east- As Wolf and as Serpent and Lion
With hunger and pride beset in my stride and a mask of dark duplicity
The momentum of wyrd thence am I steered and appeared manifesting as strange synchronicities

The snake spake gently from the cerebral abyss
And I lost touch of what was mine or It's

Atavistic madness consumed me
Upon my voyage into selfhood's realm
For days hung by my feet in (the) eldritch tree
Of knowledge, where men die or they foresee
Themselves anew about this road of thorns
Drinking their fill thereof Azoth's well
Partaking of the visions of the Norns
To rise assiduously out of hell

In void did I loom; betwixt tomb and womb yet returned to the strivings of earth
That eye in the mind, though erstwhile blind has opened in visions of sinister rebirth
And now as a Seer, the mission was clear- beyond entanglements of Form
By spear and by sword, by wyrd and by word, the calm 'fore the storm. The serpentine whispers had vanished, the oracle gone

For I had become the snake- prophecising;
There's a sun in the western quadrant rising
Expectant and illuminating the bearer of the scythes
Stone by stone shall the Magi's fortress fall
It's shadow's paroxysm in the guise of a war of all against all
