Surrender of Divinity - Consecration of the Heathen Messiah Lyrics
Fallen
beyond the stillness of the phantom cathedrals of black marble and stone
stood below everlasting grey skies, unchanged by the passing of each eon
past the pillared archways that sheath acidic rains from the towering obelisks
From within the blood-cemented avenue of bone, where looms a throned sphinx
there shone an eye of blistering lament, an effigy of sorrow increased tenfold
through tears shed beneath lowered veils unseen, tainted with amber and gold
dewed cysts of desolation, of a sage whose emprie is extinct, consigned to hereave
at the foot of the heretic prophet, kneeling before the blasphemer
who condemned the fools righteous for his own evil decree
Desecrate. Humiliate. Subjugate
your God of yesterday is dead
From the ashes shall rise an irreverent new Lord
Requiscat. Requiem. Amen
Empty
reaching into the spectral void, he weeps -
the illusory fables of traditional faith torn,
so bleak a chapter carved into humanity's smouldered remains,
for his followers were deceived and so it shall come to pass,
sayeth the law lain down by the dark apostates of old a creed ordained within
the lightless passages of the wayward harbinger's abode
while an elegy is sung in praise of the silent conqueror who denounced
the Falsely pious lord devoid of colour, or form, of substance and name,
the prophet leads forth his bestial hordes as sacrilege bleeds through paradise,
and the gateway crumbles to meet with death's tryst the saviour of mankind
is no more: crushed by the tyranny of the profane as he calls forth
the godless earth to descend into his own hellish abyss
Desecrate. Humiliate. Subjugate
your God of yesterday is dead
From the ashes shall rise an irreverent new Lord
Requiscat. Requiem. Amen
Demoniacal corruption of the subliminal crevices
assimilate the graven flames of hateful bliss
liaison between the heavens unravel and collide
to laws of primal craving and wrath you abide
solace denied in the burning
of thy spirit's wake
isolation. Flesh remains
of your false god forsake
denounce the holy myths
of yore, become a pariah
a banshee's dirge
for the reborn
heathen messiah
