Fifth

There is no god where i am

the sorrow of pain and regret

are left to the dead and dying

caressed by magnificent beasts

I am the snake

i am alone

Then there is rapture on earth

and i and the earth are one

there is great danger in me

in the day of your wrath

I am the snake

i am alone

Praise the whore

for her power`s divine

raise the dead

From the vaults of despair

heir to the throne

Ancestors from the past

archangel`s last command

You see to die is at hand

Out of the dark depths of hell my armies arise

the eternal quest for the empire`s crown has begun

The serpent flame therein

my colour is black to the blind

i who am all pleasure and purple

and her eyes shall burn with desire

I am life

giver of live

L et the light devour men

eat them up with blindness

on the low men trample

in the fierce lust of the pride

I am the snake

i am alone

Praise the whore

For her power`s divine

raise the dead

From the vaults of despair

heir to the throne

Ancestors from the past

archangel`s last command

You see to die is at hand

I am the master of fear

thou art the holy chosen one

now let it be first understood

i am a god

I am the snake

i am alone

In my secret temple

i am the daughter of sunset

i am the naked nightsky

arouse the cold splendour within

Praise the whore

For her power`s divine

raise the dead

From the vaults of despair

heir to the throne

Ancestors from the past

archangel`s last command

You see to die is at hand

Out of the dark depths of hell my armies arise

the eternal quest for the empire`s crown has begun
