Oh woeful god, behold me as the king I am Oh pityful one, see me yeld and kneel towards the horns I am the dawn of a time, of a time without sun Oh dawn of mine, hear me cry for what lurks at the horizon Behold me as I yeld, as I tear the flesh of my innocence Hear me cry out, not in pain, but of lust I know the dark, thus I hold the wine that keeps me sober I am a venom that dwells in the womb of the virgin From beyond the gates of torment From beyond the poisoned tongue of wrath I allow this wisdom to conquer my flesh and soul Spitting in the face of the priest and laughing As spikes through the wrists I have had the blindness aching in my heart As thorns deep in the flesh I have felt the tight chains of light around my neck But from the opening to the torment of the stars From the unpure rising nine The names of the horned eternity Comes this blade to cut the throat of christ With pride I swallow the winds from the past And sharpen the blade of the present This desire to outlive eternity, to yearn... and to grow A gift from the horded divine To have such love for the sight of two majestic horns To rape the light, and to make love to the dark From the black star of an ancient rebellion Comes this tasteful wine to make me grow
