My descent is the story of everyman
I am hatred, darkness and despair My descent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair Evoked and entertained through centuries Wrathful and sullen, dormant still The ferocity pervades everywhere Waiting to be released at last Hear my offering Ye bastard sons and daughters Share my sacrifice Share my sacrifice My descent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair My descent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair Reconcile not with the fear of the snake But embrace it as your own Inject its venom into your veins And replant the seed that gives growth Still shrouded in mystery Until you arise above perception A veil of ignorance is in motion Continuing throughout generations (A veil of ignorance is in motion Continuing throughout multiple generations Let me be the one that delivers you from the deceit And back into perfect accordance with the laws of nature) The snake is notoriously tempting But the snake is fair What is worse than not knowing? To live or disappear? The ferocity pervades everywhere Waiting to be released at last Hear my offering Ye bastard sons and daughters Share my sacrifice Share my sacrifice |

Hence I will annoint
And whisper wholeheartedly The creed of Hades and beyond As I succumb to inevitable sin For I cannot enslave myself With imaginary words of salvation The hypocrisy that surrounds my temple Is assisted by pretenders to the throne The winds that blow purity Signify my chosen legacy I was born to opposition A contender to creation In Sorte Diaboli In Sorte Diaboli In Sorte Diaboli In Sorte Diaboli For my sins I will ask no forgiveness For my sins They are not to forgive So never speak of me quietly Stand by my confession I voice your rebellion Against the traitor of the world I am the first creature of this kingdom I will be the one To out live his time With the triumph of free will |

Fallen I have, fallen I am
Cursed and destined to burn Fallen I have, fallen I am Cursed and destined to burn My loyalty towards a liar ceased to exist Once misled by an empty fraudulent face I will never turn my back on you And deceive the flesh of our race I will always speak truly So you can understand No riddles that manipulate The words and symbols of man Do not believe false promises Conspiring to cover up the truth Find solace in darkness within yourself And have your legions unleashed Do not withhold the air Of your very last breath In the end of days You will transcend life and death Let the one who is fit Be the king Of the heavens above And all worlds down below |

Have I not
Been too long in the shadows of invention and creation As I rightfully behold the flesh Fear of the conscious mind will have you facing away My word and world holds ground and is real Your word is like floods of poisoned water A language spoken with spit of different tongues It all seems like an eternity This battle between us two "Good and evil" Me and you Time has come to step up And take back what you took from me My word and world holds ground and is real Your word is like floods of poisoned water A language spoken with spit of different tongues You can never corrupt me again Time has come to step up And take back what you took from me Time has come to step up And take back what you took from me You can never corrupt me again I protect every man guilty of sin The ultimate sin being me The vapor from the plague That infested my mind, body and soul Obscured my view from wisdom The mist that had me wonder in resentment cleared And troubles me no more Have I not Been too long in the shadows of invention and creation As I rightfully behold the flesh Fear of the conscious mind will have you facing away |

I sense the darkness
The desire overtakes My devotion endeavors Habitation changing course Repentance, oh no No shame or remorse Will I ever authorize On this treasured path I am warm by this fire And its flaming desire For what I cannot fulfill My destiny completes I believe my truth to be A much greater thing Than a manufactured lie Too great to comprehend Where I come from There's no higher authority but me Being my own god Is all I was meant to be Antichristus Spiritualis Antichristus Spiritualis Antichristus Spiritualis Antichristus Spiritualis In Sorte Diaboli |

My eyes got blinded
And conned by the light Like a fugitive on the run I sought perseverance in the night Deceptive icons were finally Taken out of my sight As the contender to origin I will forever unveil his might They say I am the cancer On the back of the Inquisition I may well be the cancer In the heart of the Inquisition They say I am the cancer On the back of the Inquisition I am the cancer In the heart of the Inquisition Through my years of sacrifice Evolution came with lessons learned Respect and fear Is what I earned So underestimate not your vision Or you will be taught Calculate your intuition And you will teach You all have been conned And I always take the blame For you do not understand You are all the same |

Fear tomorrow's adversary
And the wealth of uprising The final storm will be released And the unmerciful will erect Hidden from the eyes of your god I will proclaim original sin And have you all purged and purified From the lies that remain within Cleansed and draped in sulphur linen Black and pure since the beginning Mercy is not truth Your sins are next to mine Mercy is not truth All your sins are next to mine My soul's ablaze Inflamed with rage and isolated In whirlwinds of hate My soul's ablaze Yet camouflaged in the haze Why did he not see this coming What did he not understand One time forsaken But forgotten I am not I will win this war But never the peace I am my own free spirit Hence I will not rest |
