Lyrics
Lex Talionis
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Rising above the searching of love visions
I felt this darkness resist
Nailing a thousand nazarenes
Screaming through your thousand faces
Robed in black
For this ritual madness
The demons of the heart
I have learned to obey
War is declared
Spread everywhere
Awaken from the slumber
Where can I hide
Screaming he dies
Past the light
Of a god sent
To a world of the night
For knowledge, I the demons ride
