THE DEVIL'S BLOOD LYRICS

1. Unending Singularity

[Instrumental]

2. On The Wings Of Gloria

A voice called from beyond the stars
By way of the serpent whirling through my veins
Through the clatter of the iron age
Into the dreams of the insane:
Turn away from the light again!

And I was accosted by fear
And my skin was salty from my tears
But ever your radiance shone me sights of Gloria
And brought me back to contest the light again!

So I looked around for your sigils
And I found them in the blood of your brood
The empty and desolate, the void within the storm
Abomination that sheds his light again

I have drowned my heart in sorrow
I have closed my soul to man
I have wallowed in in the darkness
I have embraced the death
I shall never see the light again!

My body is chiming
With the thought that fills the universe
I must needs cut out my senses
Lest his word becomes my hearse

A pound of flesh, a pound of flesh
The keeper demands a pound of flesh
Skin for skin, skin for skin
Bred and sired in box and sin
Woe is them, woe is them
Who wears these chains as golden mesh
Rain of ash, rain of ash
As holy flesh and sulphur clash

I know their torment shall never pass
Haunted forever by love and distress
In the endless desert wings, strewn with broken glass
My King of Chaos stands in a realm of boiling brass

On the wings of Gloria
Across the plane of sadness
Contraction and expansion
From the death into the death

From the middle of never
Into the endless ever after
I stride among the broken clock
Proclaiming "Lord, I am your rock!"
Build on me your empire of euphoria!
Kindle me with your unborn breath
Let me fly on the wings of Gloria!
Let me fly on the wings of death!

So I have raised a temple of blood and bone
On the vanquished reason surrounds my soul
The stairway is open, the circle is whole
The dragon spreads its light again!

So make your wings to shine
And make your eyes to beam
Make your dark as fire so bright
Burn my eyes with its light
So I may never see the light again!

3. Die The Death

You arms are many
and reaching for
and through your finger tips
I feel your heart

Your eyes are piercing
and seeing all
and through your tears
my soul is calmed

your skin is sallow
and clad with blood
and through the smoke
I come to call

your tongue is red
and speaks of thorns
and through your spit
I am reborn

your neck is hung
with a wreath of skulls
and through their mouths
I sing your praise

your cunt is wet
and hurts yourself
and through your peak
I die the death

4. Within The Charnel House Of Love

Oh, bliss asserts above

Here I sit alone
And death lines these walls
Her I sleep and dream (cry and scream)
I am ash and stone

I was, yet have now become
And all I was is now undone
A broken piece of a broken puzzle
Dying embers string my skin
A blade incised in my sense of true
Adread I shall share my love, with you

Oh, death dwells in love

Here I sit alone
And death lines these walls
Her I sleep and dream (cry and scream)
I am ash and stone

And as horror begets horror
So I received my father's sin
And was made to dwell within his house
And to drown in the love therein

Oh, bliss asserts above
Oh, death dwells in love

So when all lovers turn to fighters
And all my seed has gone to war
Shall you see dark horizon
And you too shall run wild forevermore

5. Cruel Lover

I lay me down again in your arms
Undress me and possess me
With your tongues of fire
Withershins feeding from the child to the breast
I plunge my knife in you
At all hell's behest

Cruel mother
Dig your nails into my back
Grant my furtive soul a place in your design
Know me know as I place my ashes into your urn
Of the flesh am I and to the flesh I shall return

I am a shadow
moving with shadows
I am blood and piss
coming in waves
I am Isaiah's nightmare
brought into flesh now (and once again)
I am the sword and the whip and the pleasure of slaves

Cruel father
I've climbed the ivory spire for you
I've seen your blade like arms
Rake the stars from the sky
Tearing through the kingdom like so much kindling and straw
Casting down all order into the cape of salvation's maw

I am a shadow
moving with shadows
I am blood and piss
coming in waves
I am Isaiah's nightmare
brought into flesh now (and once again)
I am the sword and the whip and the pleasure of slaves

Come rending and tearing
Speak to me in voracious lust
Crush my will and awake the snake at my spine
And when the whores of the night
Proclaim your name
I will know you then and there
And I will go insane

6. She

She so loves her children
More the ones whom play with fire
As they contort themselves before her
As they may become her funeral briar

She is the only one
The only one
She is the only one

And she wears a crown of joyous madness
Of danger in the midnight hours
On her throne of serpentine sadness
She erects a fractal tower

She is the only one
The only one
She is the only one

She is the only one
The only one
Who will ever understand you

And she delights in your confusion
And the contradictions of your heart
She laughs
As reason and delusion
Proceed to tear your soul apart

She is the only one
The only one
She is the only one
She is the only one
The only one
Who will ever understand you

She is, she is
The only one
She is, she is
The only one

7. The Thousandfold Epicentre

I am nothing, I am no thing, I am not incessantly
Not of the sun; nor the moon, nor of the stars... immesurably
Not without me, nor within me, nothing sees... inwardly
I will not sleep,I will not wake, I will not rest... impatiently

Oh Pralaya! Let the thousand suns disperse
Free us, free us, free us from the chains of the universe
Rouse our minds from sleep and raise our heads in scorn
For when He walks we rise and we shall sleep no more

With all my heart I curse you whom I love so much
Your emphatic malediction, how I hunger for its touch
I bow down at your altar, the wasteland of my soul
For I shall abound in pleasure and I shall hide my goal

Out of the many comes the One
To lay waste the all and return to the None

I call your name: Devil of a thousand faces
Burning point! Oh endless disjoint
Great and pristine provider
Of nothingness and death

Oh how the wolves are now howling
They plead for rape and grim demise
And becoming them I left my body
In the nght's blood-haunted eyes

Only a coward stands in sunlight
On the shores of God's forbidden streams
So spread your wings, oh Samael
And darken this beggar's dream

And make him slither trough the river
As the snake did trough the tree
He prepared a gate for al of us
And we await the final key

Blesses be!
From thee branches of Death's tree
The fruit is finally falling down
And the Harvester is free

Oh Pralaya! Let the thousand suns disperse
Free us, free us, free us from the chains of the universe
And no more progression and no more duration
Now make the clock to break and the heavens cry for time

I call your name: Devil of a thousand faces
Burning point! Oh endless disjoint
Great and pristine provider
Of nothingness and death... nothingess and death!

8. Fire Burning

When all is waning
Call out of time
Unearth the clay
That makes man a beast

Ride the Inferno
Taking all risks at ones
Forget all else, know nothing
Hammer into the ground

The fire burning
Takes it all away
The fire burning
Takes it all away

Race out of line
To make it up
Stakes out of time
When it is called for

The master cometh
As if never before
The key is our vice
To the other we demand

The fire burning
Takes it all away
The fire burning
Takes it all away

9. Everlasting Saturnalia

Oh joy
Oh rapture
Oh decline of space and time
To find love in the shimmer of blood on stone
To find passion in a maze of sun-bleached bones

Look me in the face
Who of us is more confused?
Look me in the face
And tell me you don't need being used

It all begins with one descent
One downfall, one great lament
It cures its heart but leaves the parts
All stream across the blood-red sand

If I lead, will you follow
across the heavens and against the tide?
If I lead, will you follow
to rip the truth from the lies?

10. The Madness Of Serpents

For you I will make a world devoid of love
And I'll make your love to fill the void

One eye sees glory,
The other does cry,
The third sees truth
And grows blind

For I am alike unto whited graves
As I appear, beautiful in skin
But within I am filled with dead man's bones
And of all unclean and sin

Move to me in wild contortions
Enchant me with blight and sore
Yes, move to me you fucking whore
Into the madness of serpents.

11. Feverdance

Up and up
Climbing the stair of dream
Over the Silverstar's Horizon
And across The golden Streams

Further up!
Beyond the Circle of Samsara
And the horror of Nirvana
Where eleven Tongues scream

Word of words:
"I am that I am"
crushed under His weight
These rats will be free

Son of earth
Daughter of fire
Snake for snake
Desire for desire

Death,
Oh, holy death, enforce us now
On these fields of dreams
Let us be your plough

Rise and rise!
Across the star plunge skies
Breach the gate of lies
and see the lighthouse of damnation

Almost strident rise!
Above the letters of the name
and the 7 pillars of shame
to the death of creation

Dance and die
"The killer is a keeper
so dance with Shmashana
Yes, dance and die!"

Dreams of fevers
Dance of death
low for high
the truth for a lie

Death,
Oh, holy death
Enforce us now
On these fields of dreams
Let us be your plough

wild and terrible howler,
earth and sky devourer
cast down the sitting king
and break his power
