XIII Lyrics

Pierce me

oh dying light
beware the evil within -
withhold perfection of vanity,
in thine lustful seed of temptation
inverted abyss, subverting dawn
take me as one - divide me in all
your nothingness

Make me the starless aeon
A devourer of suns
the formless un-creation of self

Cleanse me with your flames
Undo my flesh - oh black light
faceless - perfect - undone

For I have been known unseen
And I have been seen unknown...
As I have those memories yet to be past
Watching what is to be gone
I have been known to be the last
The omega to be alpha
The first to erode

The shivering voice of a ghost
As a pierced needle in the face of the earth

I am his:
Secular, bipolar
Infinite and disordered
Song of light, I manifest
As I turn around in mournful discern
Prepared to be kept safe
While my body is torn apart
And we bend: it is
Foretold, un-manifest

Elohim
