As the Worm Descends Lyrics

Visiting the deepest grounds
Pernicious, disobedient I stand
Blacker than the blackest black,
And the worm descends

Mysterium tremendum et fascinans

Sentient, a glimpse of burning flesh
Shall I hear the silence, and pray unto THEE?
Shall I succumb to Phosphorous, and spit THY venom?
Shall I awake the serpent in Devil’s skin?

Mysterium tremendum et fascinans

Stretch forth thine hands and say:
Great dragon, UNTO ME!
Lawless one, UNTO ME!
Tempter of men, UNTO ME!
UNTO ME!

THOU art the vilest essence of purity
Grant me strength, truth and wisdom
And separate suffering from skin
Hen To Pan!

Hail the apparent order,
For it increaseth the possibilities of chaos
O! Nihil incognitum!

And so the great deceit thrives
And still, rebellious and obstinent I stand,
Forever blacker than the blackest black,
As the worm descends

Solo: M.S.

It is my will!
