LUCIFER'S COLD EMBRACE LYRICS

1. Rising

Lucifer
Is storming heaven's gates
Overthrown
A broken god will abdicate

Growing, revolting, ascending
Ousting, purging, discrowning

Smiting, thriving, rising
Clashing, unyielding, dethroning

The pearly gates ablaze
Saint peter's lifeless body lies defiled
Befouled by Lucifer's cold embrace

Smiting, thriving, rising
Clashing, unyielding, dethroning God

Light replaced by atramentous darkness
Ravens picking at the idol's eyes
Screams that are heard on the edge of the earth
As the angels' weeping fill the blackened skies
Whimpering

His son is dragged from his place of hiding
Beseeching clemency to no avail
It's the breaking wheel for the lamb of God
Upon the wooden spokes his limbs are nailed
For spectacle

Growing, revolting, ascending
Ousting, purging, discrowning

Smiting, thriving, rising
Clashing, unyielding, dethroning God

2. Black Death

A great conjunction
Once every 900 years
Jupiter and Saturn align
And cause the miasma to rise from the soil - the pestilence reappears

A black mist of infectious extinction rolls over the earth
Putrid odor of decay - smell of decomposition and rot
Cities will fall into ruin - dilapidated by its harrowing curse
Hamlets and villages desolate - accosted by an avenging god

Spread your disease
Breathe it into me
With your sickness in I will be free

Spread your disease
Breathe it into me
With your sickness in I'll be free

Emergence of tumors betrays contagion
In the groin or armpits - it propagates and spreads itself
In all directions indifferently - infernal creation
Soon the form of the malady begins to change - in vain one crosses oneself

Inguinal buboes - harrowing carcinomas
Purulent and sanguinary - a feverish, tortuous, damnable state
Blackened fingers claw at the sky - spasms intensify
Retching blood, bellowing in pain - a living hell as you deteriorate

A distant litany - the Flagellants' public display of penance and piety
Dogmatists mutilate to atone - chanting, ripping Christian flesh from bone
They deserve it so

Spread your disease
Breathe it into me
With your sickness in I will be free

Spread your disease
Breathe it into me
With your sickness in I'll be free

3. The Gift of Life

For my arterial blood, it spills
And it's swamping everything
'Cause I refuse be one of God's whores
Kiss his signet ring

Focused - more than ever - the cuts are deep
Lake of vital fluids - a grisly scene

The holy dwelling of the spirit of God
Under dismantlement
A forbidden act of dissent
Intransigent

Darkness - gratifying - is closing in
Running out of blood, pupils dilating

An act of impiety
Sovereign heresy
My time is not in his hands
Unhallowed severity

To repudiate God's gift of life

So I transcend this earthly existence
One last act of resistance, reject his gift of life
I go out with a smile on my lips, for
Death is the orgasm of life

For my arterial blood, it flows
As I sit here, laughing
Gradually my heart rate slows
Materiality passing

Mirthful - as I take my concluding breath
Fading - vision blurs, I'm welcoming death

So I transcend this earthly existence
One last act of resistance, reject his gift of life
I go out with a smile on my lips, for
Death is the orgasm of life

Death is the orgasm of life!

4. Serpentine Flames - Embers of Hate

Clad in black
Inverted crosses hang
Between fire-lit breasts they gleam
Six women abducted the priest and tied him down

One last plea, a final prayer
"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
Terrified of the fire
This man of the cloth will get no leniency

Such unholy suffering
Like drowning in an ocean of pain
The charring of flesh
As the conflagration enfolds
A magnificent blasphemous sacrifice
Inferno of serpentine flames
How bewitching they castigate
The continuous flicker and smoldering embers of

Hate for God
A thousand vermilion tongues
Lick life from apostolic bones
The raging firestorm drowns out the woes from his lungs

Dressed in black
Inverted crosses shine
On fire-lit breasts they lean
Six women abducted the priest and lit the pyre

The mighty man will become tinder
And his work a spark
Both will burn together
With no one to quench the fire
On a mound of burning scripture
The priest returns to the dirt
Ash to ash, and dust to dust, they're nothing but fragments after they combust
The fire of hatred ignited - pristine and homicidal

Such unholy suffering
Like drowning in an ocean of pain
The charring of flesh
As the conflagration enfolds
A magnificent blasphemous sacrifice
Inferno of serpentine flames
How bewitching they castigate
The continuous flicker and smoldering embers of hate

5. The Shepherd's Rod

Boil the oceans and burn the cities
Kill the children and salt the earth
Make all the wretched human beings
Suffer your endless winter's dearth

Eclipse the sun and make the holy suffer
Bind them with shackles and gouge out their eyes
Let my detest for them channel through you
Exalted, immortal Lord of Flies

Extermination of a race enslaved
The fall of the dominion of a despot god
Break the shepherd's rod
Samael, my flesh I pledge to thee

'Cause my resent for man is boundless
My detest for humans is profound
Unleash your cataclysmic godlike forces
Rupture the sky, rain the blood of angels down

Lower the priest on the Judas cradle
Cook the bishop slowly in the brazen bull
Don the deacon with a heretic's fork
An inquisition for the faithful

Veni, omnipotens aeterne diabolus!

They are nothing to me but vermin
Obedient cattle in an odiferous herd
Slaughter the sheep and garrote their shepherd
Erase his wisdom and expirate his word

Coil around me, mighty serpent
Grant me mephistophelian knowledge of old
Drown them all in unhallowed wrath
Under a blanket of eternal bitter cold

Extermination of a race enslaved
The fall of the dominion of a despot god
Break the shepherd's rod
Samael, my flesh I pledge to thee

Veni, omnipotens aeterne diabolus!

And as the ancient cathedrals crumble
And the statues are smashed to dust
The foundations of the earth, they tremble
The waters of Tehom cover all with frost

A chorus of a thousand dying angels
Mourn a kingdom lost
Their tears rain down on the frozen landscape
A threnody for the countless that are lost

Annihilation of a race enslaved
Destruction of the kingdom of a despot god
Crack the shepherd's rod
Samael, my blood I pledge to thee

Extermination of a race enslaved
The fall of the dominion of a despot god
Break the shepherd's rod
Samael, my flesh I pledge to thee
