Courting Baphomet

Lyrics

Wishing in contempt of love
 The righteous came to burn our forest with hissing firebrands
 For though we serve the gentle curves
 Of our serpent-girdled Eastern Goddess
 They thought they caught us kissing hearses in their land
 They send away the pumpkin carriage which blind mice in your head
 Parade themselves like sacrilegious envoys of the dead
 For in this house of the dark Madonna, flesh will pleasure life
 For free of sin we would dishonor all that virgin sacrifice
 ♪
 Gut our city, slaughter all within
 Save the gold that goes to God
 Show no pity for we worship sin
 Spare not the old nor lightning
 We raise our devil horns
 To those who sit on high
 For down amidst the thorns
 We lie
 ♪
 Tonight the black guards came to rape
 And ruin those souls empathising
 With fleeing far away
 Thrown to the Tigris river curves
 Of our star tiara-ed Ishtar rising
 They thought they caught us courting Baphomet
 Courting Baphomet
 ♪
 Gut our city, slaughter all within
 Save the gold that goes to God
 Show no pity for we worship sin
 Spare not the old nor lightning
 Ah!
 ♪
 She walked the world when the world was made to dress in a perfect darkness
 A murderess in flame
 Nature curled, unleashed, unfurled the crack of a whip on the lips of anger
 Why would your holy order not be wholly slain?
 ♪
 Wishing in contempt of love
 The righteous came to burn our forest
 With just verses for the damned
 For though we serve the gentle curves
 Of our serpent-girdled Eastern Goddess
 They thought they caught us pissing curses in the sand
 ♪
 We raise our devil horns
 To those who sit on high
 For down amidst the thorns
 We lie
 We raise our devil horns
 
 Wishing in contempt of love
 The righteous came to burn our forest with hissing firebrands
