The Apostasy Canticle
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.
When our flames were lit by chaos
We knew not the grip; the bondage of light
Then he waved his sceptre and cosmos was formed
Too late we knew our freedom was lost
He blinded us; polluted our minds
And forced us to drink his blood
I will show the world god's true face
I will let the thunder roar forevermore
I've deceived his world but regained
Paradise in the fire of my soul
(But) in the death of wind I sleep
As I wail this petrified landscape
Chaos, anguish an optimum affection
In the clarity of certainty so empty
[The voice of the dark souls]
Mighty lucifer, thou art the light that leads to darkness
AS much as I praise thee, I love thee without praise
As much as I love myself, I adore thee relentlessly
Thou art our true father; the wine of venus, the essence of our hope
Death, solemn death of the reaper's star
Devour his legacy from afar
I fumble, live, I fall, die
Isolated in the crowds of god and suffering
In between lurks the everlasting absence
For my dark euphoria
Thence I am sovran created, like in heaven, myself
And I fell in fury
The indolence of solitude
May drive out the soul of its sermon
And memory shall be lost
To the blood which hopelessly pulsates
The indolence of solitude
May drive out the soul of its sermon
And memory shall be lost
To the blood which hopelessly pulsates
In our excruciating hearts
Is this the region, this the soil, the clime
This the seat that we must change for heav'n
This mournful gloom for that celestial light?
Be it so, since he who now is sovran can dispose and bid what shall be right
Fardest from him is best whom reason hath equald
Force hath made supreme above his equals
Farewel happy fields where joy for ever dwells
Hail horrours, hail infernal world, and thou profoundest hell
Receive thy new possessor
One who brings a mind not to be chang'd by place or time
In this abyss we shall be free
Here we shall celebrate the coming war
