The God Behind the God Lyrics

Passionate onanists standing under the crucifix
The heavens are pouring tears for the nailed one
A wall of flesh is build with human bricks
When the demiurge reigns supreme the true god is done

The false prophets of the Old Testament vomiting a thousand lies
Man-made rules tied together with the saviour's blood
But the ones within the truth are opening their eyes
Fearlessly encountering the god behind the god

Sacred names printed with gold on black parchaments
Truth decoded from meaningless paraphrases
Underground sects performing pure sacraments
Summoning the hermaphrodite god of multiple faces

The children of Bethlehem are buried under the mourner's bench
But their souls dance high above in the heavenly hall
Transcendental flowers cover the profane stench
At the feet of the pharisees the earth-bound maggots crawl


”Now when the heavens had consolidated
themselves along with their forces and all their
administration, the prime parent became insolent.
And he was honored by all the army of angels. And all
the gods and their angels gave blessing and honor to
him. And for his part, he was delighted and continually
boasted, saying to them,

”I have no need of anyone.” He said, ”It is I who am
God, and there is no other one that exists apart from
me.

I will go before thee, and make the crooked places
straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and
cut in sunder the bars of iron.

And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and
hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest
know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am
the God of Israel.

I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God
beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known
me.

That they may know from the rising of the sun, and
from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the
Lord, and there is none else.

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace,
and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the
iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third
and fourth generation of them that hate me.”

And when he said this, he sinned against all the
immortal beings who give answer. And they laid it to
his charge.

Then when Pistis saw the impiety of the chief ruler,
she was filled with anger. She was invisible. She said,
”You are mistaken, Samael,” (that is, ”blind god”).
”There is an immortal man of light who has been in
existence before you, and who will appear among
your modelled forms; he will trample you to scorn,
just as potter’s clay is pounded. And you will descend
to your mother, the abyss, along with those that
belong to you.

For at the consummation of your works, the entire
defect that has become visible out of the truth will be
abolished, and it will cease to be, and will be like what
has never been.”

The god behind the god.
