They are lying down, the Great Old Ones.
The bolts are fallen and the fastenings are placed.
The crowds are quiet and the people are quiet.
The Elder Gods of the Land
The Elder Goddesses of the Land
SHAMMASH
SIN
ADAD
ISHTAR
Have gone to sleep in heaven.
They are not pronouncing judgements.
They are no deciding decisions.
Veiled is the Night.
The Temple and the Most Holy Places are quiet and dark.
The Judge of Truth
The Father of the Fatherless
SHAMMASH
Has gone to his chamber.
O Ancient Ones!
Gods of the Night!

Stand by and accept
This sacrifice I offer
May it be acceptable
To the Most Ancient Gods!
IA MASHMASHTI! KAKAMMU SELAH!

No more a thing I knew... transformed - transfigured
transcended... in an endless progress cycle
DNA metamorphosis... of the dying cells
into something that will last... last forever
immortal... my soul... alone under...
the cracking skies... on trembling Earth
closing the eye... of blinding Sun
WHO AM I? - a question... alredy answered
I am who I am... no less, no more
destined to be... never to extinct
remaining after... everything dies
remaining... a Dog Star's Son... beyond the Sun
for ever... and more

[Instrumental]

Raising my head to yell my life out
standing naked, strained as a dying worm
with body of light gleaming like my disquiet
with myriads of stars not-to-be-seen

Here to cry the glassy anguish
of souls dwelling in darkness that fell
my throat is DA„TH, the seal is breaking
ZONAI screaming the vows of frozen winds
of shapes winged - we should be left behind
we, lightnings turned into pillars
torn into shreds, in stillborn screams
thembling with woes of fiery cycles

PAZ - to be as they
yea, I say, to be as they
an oath and order to be heard
a sigil and cypher to be seen
OL SONUF VAORESAJI
and that's the truth, you will taste it...

†theric dimensions of cocoon sleepers
Waters, Earthes and Fyres not given to us
mumbling the calls of Aires alone
laying the tablets carved in flesh

Temple of hate a place accursed by the Gods
the walls all in blood of tormented to death
putrid face of Demon gutting sacrifice in light of full moon
come in! eternal flame will brand your soul

Demon's eye in bloodred sky
you will suffer, you have to die
prophecy of certain death
no escape - you're a victim of the unholy wrath

Screams from depths of mind
cry of mutilated souls
tyrant drops from scratched wounds of God

Virus of hatred invades the brains of tyrants
throwing into fire they create the endless violence
priests of war, creatures of the crime
merciless dictators, the lords of human fright

Bloody judgement
endless judgement
slowly agony will be your atonement
living in fear - dying in pain
no escape - you are the sacrifice

[Instrumental]

What is this that stands before me?
Figure in black which points at me
Turn around quick, and start to run
Find out I'm the chosen one
Oh nooooo!

Big black shape with eyes of fire
Telling people their desire
Satan's sitting there, he's smiling
Watches those flames get higher and higher
Oh no, no, please help me!

Is it the end my friend?
Satan's coming 'round the bend
People running 'cause they're scared
The people better go and beware!
No, no, please no!
