ALTAR OF PERVERSION LYRICS

1. At The End Of Their Slumber

The stars are drawing
the old signs in the night
eyes that have slept for aeons
are now awakened by (our) unearthly hymns
the unholy ones have dreamt
while waiting dead

Chaos itself is awakening as well
his eyes gleaming grim
towards the usurped sphere
those of the cross
shall taste the wrath (of aeons)
in horror and deserved tremendous woe

For forgotten disasters
have to happen once again
their paths are the olden stars
our summonings are now being
from cold distant thrones
where nothing dwells

That which was millennia ago
can return once again to reign
but that which has been weak
can only disappear in shame
die to never be again

[Music: Seth 96/97, lyrics: Seth July 97]

2. Recalling Old Nights...

I open this cold creaking gate
and enter as many a night before
funeral lamps guide my way
inside the small cemetery

The macabre surroundings arouse my lust
I look around me as if observed by dead eyes
no fear I am dead myself
the wind plays strange music inside here (not alone?)

Silent desecration
opened graves and smell of death
a young dead nun
rape her with delight
can you remind your useless existence?
with delight I observe your disappointed corpse(s)
take some souvenirs and leave

The macabre surroundings...

The chant of owls
the black figure with the scythe
presences noises was it only in my mind?
with nostalgy I recall...

[Music: Seth 96/97, lyrics: Seth August 97]

3. Land Of Ancient Evil

In the cast ruinous land
laying remote unknown
the black stronghold raises it´s walls
lonely in the vast forgotten swamp
a long moonless night
stretches its coil
malignant and silent
among pinnacles and spires

Titanic towers
nor time can destroy
idols of stone dominate still
cold delving eyes and horrible grins
upon altars of everlasting bloodstains

Temple´s keepers of impious rites
and of cries that did lacerate the soul

Shadows rest in a fake sleep
the serpent lays waiting for his call
silence in the room of the black throne
fragile equilibrium old of millennia

Caves hide lost manuscripts
the secret of those
who dominate the void (hail to them)

The beast wanders
among dark alleys
seeking for the way
towards the external world
world upon which he did reign with no rival
world upon which he will reign in weeping and pain

[Music: Seth December 97, lyrics: Rexor 95]

4. Black Magickal Suicide

Deep pleasure and pain
as I open the beautiful gate (wound)

Wine flows in my veins
blood through my throat
ritual suicide of the mind

Sacrificial dagger in my bloody hands
I offer myself to myself (demon)
my blood from the chalice I drink

Voices in the wind voices from the moon (die)
fascinated by the gate my blood as their key

Now they have bodies
perverted divinities inside dead flesh
unholy copulation bestial fascination
screaming goddesses of the night

Black candles accrued icon of Christ
desecrated with sperm and blood

It was a clad night when I died
and the moon cried for me
only her my beloved obsession

[Music and lyrics: Seth 93/97]
