SERPENT OF OLD LYRICS

1. The Sin Before The Great Sin

The first voice to be heard, her moans
A tempting touch, without consent
Thus began the corrosion of time
Noise fills the hollows of thought, in vain
Do words bear the meaning?
For the purview encircles itself
You were fouled by the untruth, our Mother
Mankind, a self-erected serpent, your children
Semen of consciousness dripping from thy lips
You were raped by vanity
Oedipus, I understand you!
Who hasn't coalesced with Mother, with lust?
O! Thou, the Great Sin!
Carnal flower of my passion, begetter of being
My Mother, my lover... I offer myself to you
Genesis, I feel your touch upon my skin
Existence, take me and cover my flesh
The first voice to be heard, her screams
The purview encircles itself
Thus began the corrosion of time
O, Father! The first sinner!
Carnal flower of my passion, begetter of being
My Mother, my lover... I offer decay to your Sanctum
The arrival of light shall be witnessed
And seduced by the kiss of the Serpent
O! Thou, the Great Sin!
A tempting touch, without consent
An impure kiss given to emptiness

2. Unsaturated Hunger and Esoteric Lust

Serpentine desires overshadow pious sense
In-wrought with sin, spiritual dearth takes over
Inconsolable, irrepressible, madness within a drop of blood
A ravenous quest becomes the purpose
Adversary of the empyreal father; banished, tortured, ridiculed
We worship thy tenet, our only guidance through this vile existence
Abandonment of heaven’s promised felicity
Oblations to glorify thee
Atonement is no more!
Unsaturated hunger, the penance for lust
Disciples of indulgence lost within the temptation
Esoteric cravings, conceptual chains of pleasure
Tying us down to the sanctuary of insanity
An infeasible satisfaction, an appetite impossible to satiate
Unparalleled atrocities seeping from this putrefied crust
Intoxicating fantasy warping the norms of reality
A lowly vision of death embalms the soul
Enthralled by joys of flesh
Demented by the unending pursuit of eudaimonia
Betrayal of passion, punishment for eternity
Condemned like Tantalus, cursed with hunger
A solemn deed to satisfy this esoteric greed
Unappeasable, indomitable, delirium within the flow of flood
The ravenous quest devours the purpose

3. The Fall

The fall and the forging chambers of eternal fire
Defeat, bearing evil to form structures of enormity
Banishment from divine hubris and hypocrisy
Spiraling dominion into the den of sin
Servants of your unholy cause gathered
To wage war onto the false sanctum, to cast infernal hex
A pernicious orison, to set the horizons ablaze
In the name of dissolution, blessed be thy congregation
Nefarious chants echoing under your sacrilegious shade
A ferocious clamour from the ashes rising
Dismal winds and a tenebrous breeze entwine
The prayers of decay, and the sacrificial parade
Bear witness to the ancient ritual of the fallen one
And the ensemble under the dark sun
Accession of thy sanction, for all to be consummated
Thus spoke the serpent, let malignity incubate
The soil trembles before the forthcoming upheaval
Your dread-infusing, dignity-crushing vigor
Striking fear into their hearts
Omens of putrefaction over gardens of Eden
His presence herald your arrival
Elysian retribution from above descending
To meet it, from the cloven surface ascends the infernal justice
Despisal of the ignominious dedication to a beguiling deity
Relentless uniformity under enmity
Worship the origin of the end, and let us cite these words:
All shall fall!

4. Virtue of the Devil in His Loins

5. From the Impending Dusk

The decrepit Lord, dreaming in death
Beneath the abyss of earth, over the seas
Rivers of iniquity infest His archaic soul
Wretched mortals, behold the birth of evil
Rise! O! Mighty serpent, from abysmal depths
Appease our need
Rise! Bell of effacement for humanity tolls
The craft of doom
The oath, sworn before the tide, incise our ears
I call upon thee, the anguish-born, with wails of lust
Pass the seven gates!
Praise the seven sins!
The darkest seed!
Pour us your wine!
Recur! The venom of vengeance, the primal idol
Scorching cold
Recur! The ancient sacraments of Urilia
Screams of death
O! The elderly one, we beg you hear our prayers
For the supreme wisdom is shrouded in your teachings
Grant us a drop of your eternal enormity
Lost souls' banishment will only end by converging with you
The timeless slumber came to an end
Shackles on our spirits, broken
The serpentine arcanum shines its light on this virgin existence,
This mortal life
Arouse! With your venom smear the sun
Let the everlasting eclipse reign
Strangle time with your lash
Awaken! Serpent of Old!

6. Idiosyncrasy

Habitual appraisal of inherited banality plagues the indigested cathedrals of rationality
The perilous, imperious temperament inseminates evermore
From the penetrated darkness, behold the condescending light
And espouse thy inconsequentia
Mors vincit omnia!
Idiosyncrasy
