YEAR OF THE GOAT LYRICS

1. Subortus

Just like a dog returning to his vomit
I'm child again in the mire among humans
A clean white slate soon well immersed in their hate
Anew I teach the elders of the temple

My gospel this time ambrosia
Divine fire, brimstone and wine all tempered
Spells and curses spills from the world
I'm the fallen king to rule the fallen world

Ooh, corrupted Earth seething with the darkest of currents
Your ley lines lay charged by the evils of man
That the sun now may become more than a lion

My name shall be adversary
Earth's power are mine, celestial bodies in unity
I will harrow heaven and weed out the usurper
Bleed for me
Oh, bleed, Lucifer

I'm the morning star (Belphegor)
I am the son, oh (Mammon)
What can you do (Legion)
Against such power? (Satan)
Minute monsterum (Leviathan)
Little lizard (Ho Drakon)
Fun size phantom (Shaitan)
See me tower (Lucifer)

Sown with salt is the land
Poisoned every stone and grain of sand
Upon these rocks I shall build my church now
Angels, demons, and men
Shall fear my rebirth

Demons and men can never rival
Fearful angels bow for this lord

2. Acedia

Slow as a mule wanting of gold
All you need you can find there
Dreamer of wealth, you can have it all
I'll guide you, I'll help you, I'll show you
Where all you long for will be yours
You can have it all

When you step into the light
It's truly the darkness
Grab my wings and I'll lead you

You see, man is wise, wiser than God
With me you can be all that you want
And truly unholy
Who knows where real truth resides?
Man is wise, wiser than God

When you step into the light
It's truly the darkness
Grab my wings and I'll lead you
When I step into the light
Free from your weakness
Come and follow you home

Don't you worry now
Don't waste your time
Go with the flow
Will make everything shine

Leaving world of sorrow
Open your mind to what's behind
The true nature of man, oh
Don't worry 'bout tomorrow
Don't waste your time on making your plans
See where you stand
See where you stand

When you step into the light
Truly the darkness
Grab my wings and I'll lead you
When you step into the light
Free from your weakness
Come and follow you home

Sei destinatio aglinferi
Il tuo trono attende
Sei destinatio aglinferi
Il re sono

3. Luxuria

Many years I've wandered
Growing stronger by the hour
My goal was certain and clear before me
By what means, no one knows
A great sign appeared in the heavens
And I saw her there
A scarlet beauty, moon under her feet
Her head in the stars

A clear voice like water
Pearls and gold on scarlet
A woman bidding me to enter

My eyes lusted for what I saw
My heart drew me in
A bitter taste on my tongue
Left by the sweets I was served

A clear voice like water
Pearls and gold on scarlet
A woman bidding me to enter

The screams of the harlot froze the land (Froze the land)
Her gems shining brighter than the sun (Ooh, the sun)
A glowing trident from the dragon's hands
Luxuria, I'm falling
Blessed by the queen of curses
Her brim full womb submerged me in blood sermons
I'm drowning
Ooh, I'm drowning
Oh, I'm drowning, drowning

Pleasure turned to pain
The sand turned into blood
The veil was lifted from my eyes
I saw her face for what it was
I ran blindly for days and nights
Moon turned into a ravenous beast
Finally found a place to rest
I am weakened
I am weakened again

4. Ira

Slowly it's awakened
Silent this time
A growing rage like a serpent
With a cunning grin, I took a bite
Blinded by fury
Who knows evil from good
I hear him laughing, that old serpent
It echoes through the night

Some say it's over now
The days when we were glorious
A sharp sword from my mouth
Will strike their nations down

Those gentle answers
Humbly given by wise
Turns to a steel edge sharpened
At the end of a fool's knife
I'll be the righteous judge
No calm when I'm reborn
For those fallen short of the glory
I'll be the tempest, I'll be the storm

A fool says it's over now
The days of my father's wrath
The hate dwelling in the soul
Merge with the returning son

I'm cleansing the dirt from the evils of man
But a foul taste of sour grapes lingers on
My words like a blade and my teeth are set on edge
A fire grows a thunderstorm over the world
(Fire)
(Like a thunderstorm)
(Like a thunderstorm)

Regenerate yourself through my blood
A dark red poison through your veins
Now drink it all
For this is my blood (This is my body)
Like glancing through a window melted by the sunlight
(Praise the morning star)
The stories of the father turns to vapor as a new sunrise
(All is gone)

The ruler of the dolorous
On the throne before us
His light will never find you
Through the ice around you

A longing for the coldness far away from sunlight
(Praise the morning star)
The memory of the father
Shattered in this new sunrise
(All is gone)

The ruler of dolorous
On the throne before us
His light will never find you
Through the ice around you
No one there to guide you

I'm cleansing the dirt from the evils of man
But a foul taste of sour grapes lingers on
My words like a blade and my teeth are set on edge
A fire grows a thunderstorm over the world

5. Superbia

I am the truth, the way and the life
I am the star that lights up the moonless night
All of the heavens and all of the earth
Given by the father, this should all be mine

When I rise, then I'll be praised again
The lord I'll be to all

Oh, I will show no mercy for dogs and swine
I will hate the priceless goods all the time
All will adore me, keeping me above them
I'm the son, the saviour of this world

When I rise, then I'll be praised again
The lord I'll be to all

Make them bow down
Men with pride residing in their hearts
Make them bow down
I alone honoured on this day
I've come to terrify the world
Son of the morning at his knees
I want it all (I want it all)
I want it all (I want it all)
I want it, all of the universe, I want it all

I, I'm the truth, the way and the life
I, the shining star for mankind

When I rise, then I'll be praised again
The lord I'll be to all men

Make them bow down
All who walk with Lucifer that day
Make them bow down
All of the blasphemers will pay
I've come to terrify the world
Son of the morning at his knees
And I'll be me

I want it all (I want it all)
I want it all (I want it all)
I want it all (I want it all)
I want it, all of the universe, I want it all

6. Gula

In the vastness of the desert I find myself
Temped by a voice within
The drowning sound of flies running through my skin
A snarling rising from the ground
Is this an actual hunger or a craving that I feel?
The emptiness grows strong in me
All these stones may turn to bread
The grains of sand could turn into speed

A body to honor God
By making it a holy shrine
And put a knife to your throat
If you are ever given to
Gula

With greedy bites you gulp down the ambrosia
Truly it's the food of gods
A ferocious mouth of hunger opens like a void
No ashes, no reverence to God
When you face the final judgement, the people that you'll see
Raving like starving hogs
On their knees in excrements
Guarded by a three-headed dog

A body to honor of God
Or a temple made of dust
Put a knife to your throat
If you are ever given to

Have some more, take everything
Take everything
Eat and drink, 'cause tomorrow you'll die
No dead will rise

Put a knife to your throat
'Cause now you have been given to
Have some more, take everything
Take everything
Eat and drink, 'cause tomorrow you'll die
No dead will rise
Have some more, take everything (Everything)
Take everything
Eat and drink, 'cause tomorrow you'll die
No dead will rise

7. Avaritia

Down through the circles of Hell
You'll see the ones you've saved
In gold they melt away
Now forsaken

Hide your face and let them perish

You better run, better run now
Hiding from yourself
You better run, better run now
While you think you can

To this very hour, all wealth
Stolen in your name
Watch them rot away
While you're falling

Nothing anywhere can save you

You better run, better run now
Hiding from yourself
You better run, better run now
While you think you can

You had wings
Bright shining wings
But they're blackened now
A golden crown
Now turned to ash
By your enemy

You better run, better run now
Hiding from yourself
You better run, better run now
While you think you can

You had wings
Bright shining wings
But they're blackened now
A golden crown
Now turned to ash
By your enemy

8. Invidia

The ground was cursed here so quote the snake
And you, the son, were sent here to redeem man's mistake
Once the greatest king of kings, now an orphan soul
Take a stand and claim your rights, all this should be yours

Envy of a man leads his soul from the dawning
Virtue for a god

Look at the pride of man, claiming that they're gods
A will that's truly free, shining brighter than the stars
"You can have all that you're longing for", said the serpent to the son
All your pain, all your tears, leave them by the cross

Envy of a man leads his soul from the dawning
Virtue for a god
Envy of a man leads his soul from the dawning
Virtue for a god

The bright colors of the sky
The heavens only knew
A faded memory
Now a darker blue

I've been torn apart and rebuilt
Bitter tears fuel my rage
Wearing the eternal crown of guilt, of jealousy and hate
I'll rule until the end of time
The slayer of mankind
I can clearly see it's all about
It's all about me
It's all about, it's all about me (I can clearly see)
It's all about, it's all about me
It's all about me

Envy of a man leads his soul from the dawning
Virtue for a god
Envy of a man leads his soul from the dawning
Virtue for a god

9. Subicio

Like a newborn
Sensing the world for the first time
I stand abandoned
Alone with no faith

Is this my kingdom?
Where the sin outshines the lordly grace
A void longing for the sun
The healing words from my father's tongue

Lost and in doubt
Is this my maker's will?
The preserver of souls
Himself now a pillar of salt
I'm the capstone and the arch
Above the salt of the earth
I eclipse the father and son
Drunk on the evil soil

Is this my kingdom?
Where the sin outshines the lordly grace
A void longing for the sun
The healing words from my father's tongue
Is this my kingdom?
Where the sin outshines the lordly grace
A void longing for the sun
The healing words from my father's tongue

Cast from the heavens, chased by the morning
(Cast from the heavens above)
Son of the dawning awaits in the end
(Son of the dawning, oh, Lucifer)
Demons among men, nailed to the Earth
(Demons inside you and me)
If the truth shall set them free
Let them all lie
(True lie)
I'm crowned by the rotten guilt of men
All their betrayals are mine to bear
They'll stand before me and pay for their crimes
I'll be the omega, I'll be the end times
How can I live if I have to die to live again?
How can I live if they have to die to live again?
How can I live if they have to die to live again?
How can I live if they have to die?

There's a sickness inside me waking up
The notion of all that I've become
I gave my body to save all that I was
But temped and lost, I'm falling

I can still hear the children cry
Though they've been blessed by the water
Screaming in pain and scorn, by plagues they die
Those blessed by water

The seven princes drag me down
Through oceans of those that I have failed
From waves a legion is storming out
Drown me in flaming laughter
Enclosed and frozen, I pay for my sins
The one unchosen, rotten within
Useless redemption for the mindless mass
Those who've been blessed by the water

I can still hear the children cry
Though they've been blessed by water
Deep into the void where their souls will ignite
Those blessed by water
I can still hear the children cry
Though they've been blessed by the water
Screaming in pain and scorn, by plagues they die
Those blessed by water

Those blessed by water (Ah-ah)
Those blessed by the water (Ah-ah)
Those blessed by the water (Ah-ah)
Those blessed by the water
