Through used up life-force and used up skin
Through strings of failure
and stiff limbs of shame

Crapulous orgies - Consuming sin
In ceaseless hunger
Hellish black thirst

Livid with the hue of mould and death
Crowned with swarming angels of rot
Mere food for maggots
Mere fuel for the flames
Saying grace at the table of Decay

And as your soul in darkness burn
...of the emptiness you learn
And as your flesh to soil turn
...embrace the Gospel of the Worm

Warmth and life are now strangers in here
The Void is present
Ancient yet forever new

Dead - You are dead!
Depleted - You are dead!
Bow before the skillful smith of Decay
No hope - Only Death!
Clusters of heavy sins hold you down

And as your soul in darkness burn
...of the emptiness you learn
And as your flesh to soil turn
...embrace the Gospel of the Worm


10. World Of Blades

Lifeless rebirth - Devoured and made anew
Fleshless dominion and the blackness of burnt blood
And as a tempest of rust and moths
shall my voice boom forth
Proclaiming the gospel of A New Dawn
...and the coming of the Lord

The coming of the Lord
The birth of The Darkness
The coming of the Lord
...and a World of Blades

The Great Darkness descends now even faster
The throat of hope and mercy lies strangled
And upon fixed poles of Guilt and Death
shall my anthems thunder
Revealing the splendour of The New Law
...and the coming of the Lord

The coming of the Lord
The birth of The Darkness
The coming of the Lord
...and a World of Blades

And the light of the new dawn shall come as flames of destruction
The hope of man shall melt like wax before the flame
And the earth shall open and re-open and shall hunger for flesh
Thirsty blades shall glitter at every gate
Sharpened - blessed - and polished for slaughter

And the might of the new law shall be as vast cataclysms
Violently tearing time and space to shreds
And the blood of the lamb shall blacken and become as tar
Death shall stand like a mountain of power
And you and your fellow beings shall give thanks!

Lifeless rebirth - Devoured and made anew
Fleshless dominion and the blackness of burnt blood
And as a tempest of rust and moths
shall my voice boom forth
Proclaiming the gospel of A New Dawn
...and the coming of the Lord

The coming of the Lord
The birth of The Darkness
The coming of the Lord
...and a World of Blades
