The Oath
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.
By the symbols of the creator
I swear henceforth to be
A faithful servant of his most
Puissant archangel
The Prince Lucifer
Whom the creator designated as his regent
And Lord of this World,Amen.
I deny Jesus Christ...the deciever
And I abjure the Christian faith
Holding in contempt all of it's works
[SOLO: M.DENNER, H.SHERMANN]
As a being now possessed of a human body
In this world I swear to give my full
Allegiance to it's lawfull master,
To worship him our
Lord Satan and no other
In the name of Satan, the ruler of Earth
Open wide the gates of Hell
And come forth from the abyss
By these names: Satan, Leviathan,
Belial, Lucifer
I will kiss the goat
[SOLO: H.SHERMANN, M.DENNER]
I swear to give my mind
My body and soul unreservedly
To the furtherance of our
Lord Satan designs
Do what thou wilt shall be the
Whole of the law
As it was at the beginning
Is now and ever shall be
World without end Amen
