Devils 07:03
They paint their banners With their own dead blood Future awaits He opened the Gate Ghouls with glowing eyes Are after her She knows the word That turns them to wood Klokh... Klokh... Klokh... Klokh... They stumble and fall Young dog headed boy Her only friend Silence, all is too quiet Death hides in sunflowers And turns all life inside out At last they meet each other Two girls joining their hands The sun's going backwards God's rabies Now every leaf and every bug And every bird and every stone become a warfare All turns to slimy greasy poison Like corpses vomit, there's no more place to live They'll bring the Faceless with a burning hand That has no name and wasn't made by God They call him Master, Eternal Hate The brother to the One that guards the Gate Come Lazarus It is time to rise The sun came at night And set all on fire Burn! You'll become the rock that seals the Gate Two girls and dog faced boy Will guard eternally Your tomb

Clean white dress, chalk white face Eyes shut tight, like freshly made cuts She opens her eyelids, two wounds full of blood She thought death would grant her unlimited strength "How dared you, you hollow senseless sheep Speak of things forbidden, beyond you tiny mind How dared you draw sigils and pentagrams Class board before their eyes, immaculate ones" Now we are doomed I learnt the secret Now I am cursed by Stinking God The Greatest Dead The Rotten Lightning, Black Fire! And then God showed me His face It wasn't the face of man, I saw death in His eyes Then the man came, the man of inhuman dream And opened the burning gate, the gate to Infinity He found the key Key to the Abyss Bridge across the void "I am the future I am the one who buried God I am the one That stepped beyond the Great Abyss Time will come All, live and dead, shall follow me Once I died The future is My Great Death!" "What now?" - "We'll die And never will exist again" She says with a happy smile "Is that how it's supposed to be?" The flame embraces them And throws them towards the eternal sky "We didn't have to leave our home You were the door, I was the key!"
4.
You've lost your will to struggle before the face of God Tremendous shabby filthy beast covered in blood Short muzzle out of nightmare, red tiny eyes Two stubby trunks gore spattered, halo of flies Vainly you're trying to scream But there's no air Dead God has sucked it all in With foul trunks Feel the fingers of Death on your neck The past exists no longer, forever left behind And there's no future either in your faded mind Only the unspeakable "now" With no escape Filled with undimmable light In silent void Feel the blood in the air See the blood on your hands Taste the sweetness of blood on your lips Breathe... Breathe... Breathe Christ said his sinless body must be consumed But they ate bread instead and thus they were doomed A man must live and suffer and be eaten after death A man is just the talking meat till the last breath Seek the way to cleanse the mankind Not "human being" Work hard to unveil the design And make your own Path that leads to future Is the shining glass road Through the dead space of a dream
5.
And I despise those who submit The poor in spirit, dirty and blind Despise all those begging for mercy For they'll be slaughtered without remorse Meekness I hate, the meek should be enslaved Poisoned are hands they offer, so chop them off Death is the answer, the way, so rise and kill The sweetest feeling is tasting the blood And to destroy the demiurge's work For it's so easy for me to bring down So where's creator's power and might? Now close your heart and paint it black For you should never forgive As you shall be forgiven not For things that you haven't done Now raise your sickle, it's time to reap The harvest season has come Unleash the fire on those who hoped To feel the warmth of your hands She's on the altar, undressed, now cut her throat Words that you whisper will set the sign ablaze Out of this symbol, in flames new world is born High in the sky you drift towards the stars
6.
She's falling down into the stream of ancient light To drift away and ride the cosmic winds To reach the space beyond the stars and free her mind Her eyes are closed but she can see the spectral form He grows from nowhere into the void He has no future, no life The past, a prison for those who live The God is mortal She'll have to walk across the field of no sunlight The forest dead, the trees of stone, the concrete mire Towards the black lakes with burning water Towards the dark spire, the ghostly tower I see the gardens of smoke and flame I see - she's riding the Devil! I see - they're tearing the flesh apart Red meat, blue faces And then I saw The sea of glass And then I saw The edge Hideous creatures nailed her to the cross And little abomination said: "I'll eat you and take your power Father gives you to me! Now sleep! Sleep! And don't wake up! Stay dead!" Dark eyes reflecting the world serene Snow bound and silent, ice cold No wind is blowing among the trees No bird is singing Silence!
7.
Good morning, great Moloch Bright nothing Sunflower Selling your peacocks At the corner of sight Good evening, bloodmother Far-off And broken A nexus A typhon A walker on stilts Shipdreaming And arctic A polar explorer A seagull And seahorse Crossbred And unborn Good morning, great Moloch Great silence Burntriver Driving home darkness At the close of the day Good evening, bloodfather Smudged by the twilight Made iridescent By the tongue of the sea Quicksleeping Equator A patchwork Of terrors Bound up in brightness From swallowing gold
