Lupus Lyrics

Light bringer
Serpent so black
Bearer of knowledge
So great as to crack illusionary forms
Between the self and the horns
A gateway through venom shall engulf

I behold
Serpents so old
My path will unfold
A step into the reflections of the illusive
And cold aspects of my soul

Translucent figure of Sapphire
Eternal spectre of thyself

Come to me
Come to me once again!
Appear before me
And I shall be as you!

Ascend in darkness
Descend in disease
Savour this sacrifice
For this dark God’s will is to reave

Accept this offering
Prepare the seventh gate
Now flay the fallen Son
In black, lycanthropical hate

Dense and coiling, pulsating tunnels
Channel the judgement of the deceased
The throbbing viscera salivate
And beacons of self-salvation gleam

From the ashes around my neck
Lupus!
And the thorn in my side
Lux!
From the opening of hallowed wounds
Redemption dies!

The sulphur fires unearth my shallow grave
The constellation swung its reddened blade
And stars fell down to jewel the crown
That burns the air betwixt the kingdom and beauty
