Tearing the Veil from Grace

Lyrics

Biblical choirs soar beyond veiled light
 A swansong for ravens trapped flapping in night
 A tragic yet magickal fall from grace
 Too awful to taste for the led and the chaste
 Those whose long fetters are addressed to all saints
 Free shining souls torn from God's given Reich
 Defiled, reviled, exiled from sight
 And Hell knows we sought victory
 Chancing the leash
 But when bad die were cast
 We were cast down to die
 A steeple of needles thrust into our eyes
 So scholars might say we were blinded by pride
 Like the sin of our Father
 Whom in Isaiah and Midian thrived
 Regaining his sights for the storming of
 Skies
 And after descenturies have crawled, vilified
 Our dark harkened day on spread wing now arrives
 For eternity is a coprophagic
 Backward figure head gorging on her own bitter end
 And we have eaten shit until we're close to addicts
 Now grime is running out for us to make amends
 To retake what once was lost
 To exalt our throne above the stars of God
 ♪
 To throw our fuck into gates and guts of a severed neverland
 Where we, the damned once pleasured ran
 Like seamen from the phallus sea
 Atrocious oceans must be crossed
 To exalt our throne above the stars of God
 
 The thirteenth sign of the Zodiac climbs
 Cowled and scythed to snuff the sunrise
 To snuff the sunrise
 Throwing shades of war before like prophecy
 Nightbreed freed from the vasty deep
 Nasty reap of freaks forsaken
 And when sultry dusk disrobes they'll learn
 She is not a natural blonde
 For the lower she goes the darker it grows
 An Eve that blows on Her knees for Satan
 Fellated Satan
 Screams congeal in clotted pearl
 As he unfurls from aching hibernation
 Stormbringer drums thunder
 To full Dis orchestra
 As lighting streaks with fire black clouds that shroud the Earth
 Whose cold breasts have held us in scar pillories
 But now the sun is loath to come
 The crescent moon is
 ♪
 Freed
 Elated Satan
 The scimitar slash to the undergash
 Of Heaven too slight for penetration
 We strike as wolves from the thickening fog
 To exalt our throne over the stars of God
 Lowly holy goats bare the brunt
 Of rabid dogmas on a stellar bearhunt
 Bastioned in citadels and monastic cells
 That smell of blessed cunt
 Like a convent where crosses rust
 From thirty dirty habits of shaved nun
 There where deeper needs are begged of lust and cess and less impress enough
 ♪
 Obtaining the Lord of our Gaurdian Anger
 And Death's tunnel vision
 Bad thing in collision
 The locking of eyes and jagged antler
 Unpicking the seams of fate sewn over dreams
 Feasting from throats of celestial theives
 And God knows we seek victory
 Now that we are unleashed
 To drive nails home of blind faith through those
 Who drove us from error to terror below
 Refugees clung to a crown furred in flies
 Tarred with red honey, the plaster
 Of many a spire that aspired to rise
 Seeking Messiahs that by us soon
 Die
 In the start like a cast
 In morality plays
 Our hearts wore a mask
 Of dead rooks in the rain
 The World was our cloister
 No prayer, bent in shame
 Our once lucent plumage
 Stung with horn withered grey
 And away
 ♪
 As aeons slew so we grew to myth
 Revenge accrued to a monolith
 Bursting through from our roofed abyss
 Like an aether greased fist
 Now vulvite gates are so sorely missed
 Our horror pours through the orifice
 Where once the spheres and archangels kissed
 ♪
 Phallelujah
 Fellated Satan
 His coming assails
 The night in gales
 That bewail turned tides
 That engulf their nation
 Fuckers
 ♪
 Now divintity is a worm ridden mouth
 In a darkened high house
 Overrun by disease
 So let the truth be wrung from veil and sanctum undone
 That the banished ones intent on reinstatement have
 Won
 We breathe by virtue of their rot
 Now our souls exult above the stars of
 Stars of God
