(Music by Nergal, lyrics by Nergal)

There was only one long and terrible winter
Where icy blackness covered the sun and the grass
Dethroned light ended its existence
Hell brought there all the thunder and winds
All the blasphemy from the four sides of the world
Gods have forgotten this land, where fear

FOOLS! I cast you all aside!
Your bullets harm me not
I am heresy, blazing hell
The embodiment ov all you fear
I am all which you can never be
A truth revealing hate machine
No longer will I tolerate
Lies from a kingdom built on dread

"Those enemies of mine who did not want me
to be king over them-
Bring them here and kill them in front of me"
Jesus, (Luke 19:27)

behold! as Rome burns so do I...
'tis not the last empire to crumble
I bore witness to rise and fall ov tribes ov Adonai

Hail Mary, full ov disgrace
The Lord has fornicated with thee
Cursed art thou among men
And possessed

Cunning as shroud ov Turin
On the autopsy ov god
Damnata Virgo Maria

been haunted be the paws ov fear
and felt his breath upon my neck
I was granted with the pain divine
and my voice was heard no more in heaven

great in power
thus call'st me almighty
in not be first archangel

[Background Lead: Seth]
[Lead: Nergal]

What fool are ye!
From zenith to nadir
Through externalized purity
Dexterity
Sealed ye gates ov your own paradise

I've seen strange signs on my way
Silent shadows
Dancing shapes
And angels fallen on the earth

Face up
And look there
When the root ov thy being cannot reach

o, Serpent and Lion!
I invoke Thee!
inside the shrine called life
by the seven wonders
by myriad mortals
that gone
and are to come
outside!

behold the throne ov burning gold
and all the evil that it shelters
yet I be monarch myself
offering more than others give

materialize the ashes ov Elysium burned
not even angels dare to bid farewell
annihilate this Eden now

before the beginning of years
there came to the making of man
time, with a gift of tears
grief, with a glass that ran

pleasure, with pain for leaven
summer, with flowers that fell
rememberance fallen from heaven

Thee I cast aside
Fetus divine
Agnus dei
Free ov thy lies

Hearken hosts on high
Fetch me your god
As my ambition prescribes

From beyond all paths ov man I drew my rules
Infamous among gods and low I did fall
And the earth hath cried aloud
Hark! For enraged winds and storms now awaken
Now see me naked, yet draped in flames
My pent fury to unleash upon men

Ov khaos I am, the disobediant one

flames reflects in my eyes
the wildness and hate are born
I draw the magic signs in the air
the pride, act of holy bastards burnt
here's no more place for them
there's no day, only the moon and the night

I turn into ashes all the holyness

I saw the virgin's cunt spawning forth the snake
I witnessed tribes ov Judah reduced to ruin
I watched disciples twelve dissolved by flame
Looked down on son ov god snuffed in vain

Blow your trumpets Gabriel!
As I beheld the bewilderment ov Eden
Break the bread...and crumb by crumb into the Leviathan's den...

Avatars of powers from four worlds
Bathed me in jewels of belief
I drink the nectar of Goddess – my eternal mistress
I am Shiva, Hadit or Beast himself
And multitude of forms surpasses myself
I kneel before Isis, I – her god and slave
Coiled serpent lifts up his head and looks in my eyes
Third power and third eye create The One

Fly, fly high my Black Eagle
Let golden thread bind our eyes
May our minds and hearts blood unite
On your wings carry me over the abyss
Beyond The Reason and across the burning seas
Then, with your claw tear the earth to the halves
And usher me into the secrets of her bowels
Down to the light of the beginning and the end which shimmers

Fly, fly high my Black Eagle
Let golden thread bind our eyes
May our minds and hearts blood unite
On your wings carry me over the abyss
Beyond The Reason and across the burning seas
Then, with your claw tear the earth to the halves
And usher me into the secrets of her bowels
Down to the light of the beginning and the end which shimmers

Fly, fly high my Black Eagle
Let golden thread bind our eyes
May our minds and hearts blood unite
On your wings carry me over the abyss
Beyond The Reason and across the burning seas
Then, with your claw tear the earth to the halves
And usher me into the secrets of her bowels
Down to the light of the beginning and the end which shimmers

In the forest of the Eternal dreaming
Old oak lighted up by the fullmoon's light
The coldness of dungeon torches the inside of wooden maze
From the womb of the mother-wolf I was born
The witches foretold the coming of tragedy
They awakened fright in the hearts of my enemies
In the midnight wilderness I took a pledge
Quickly I fell in love with the taste of steel

[Lead: Nergal]

Reptile!
Spreading sickness and disease among the men
Grubby creed!
What are ye but the soulless meat?
Lunatic!
Cancer consuming Thy race from inside

Behold bastard son
I am the evil one
No glory to be reached
No more thy slavery
The passions i besieged
Spawn terror
Smash thy will
Ye pale dominion fades away

Mightiest Self!
cast out ov Thy Elysium
with blood ov nazarene
I write the story ov man
2000 years is nothing
thought it has been enough
come forth victorious
muting the foul angelic choirs!

["We must never be afraid to go too far, for truth lies beyond."
Marcel Proust]

honour me!
Chaldean priests
bow to me, in adoration
evangelize
prophets ov the boundless joy

Primeval god finally returns
Comes a sound of triumph
I hear his voice
A dawn of evil prayer
A raise of million hands
Revelation of our dreams

I open my eyes

APO PANTOS KAKODAIMONOZ!
APO PANTOS KAKODAIMONOZ!

We transgress the context of commonplacenes
We deny normality, trample morality
We destroy angels with sound
We destroy angels with silence

grant me profane kiss
oh Isis mother ov all
thy lips like morphine
teasing my slumbering heart
release me!
this cosmos is way to small
come down on earth, evangelize!

behold! children ov Cain
all beings not ov reptilian form
be upon them!
spare none! mercy cast aside!
those who feareth not my sacred blade
shall be blessed

repent not!

Sister of sin
Lover of my unwedden night
In blasphemy we bathe our unclean bodies
We find adoration in the filthy procreation
His will is our devotion
Giving in to the knight of the remote star
Falling in love with the darkest tormentor
The basic instinct, the obscurity of my soul

ENTERING THE FAUSTIAN SOUL
Nergal

...With little fear I kiss the moonlight
How exciting is a thought
About having a taste of your kingdom
Which wakes up to life, as night?
When servants carry me to the gates of Helevorn

Evangelion (в переводе с греческого «Распространение слова Божьего» или «Распространение благой вести») — девятый студийный альбом польской блэк/дэт-метал группы Behemoth, выпущен 7 августа 2009 в Европе на лейбле Nuclear Blast Records и 11 августа 2009 в США на лейбле Metal Blade Records. Альбом Evangelion дебютировал на #56 месте в Billboard 200. В США альбом Evangelion в первую неделю релиза был распродан в количестве 8 500 тысяч экземпляров. Это третий альбом группы Behemoth, который включает песню на польском языке, песня называется «Lucifer».

Издатели альбома Evangelion получили ряд положительных отзывов от музыкальных критиков. В течение двух недель релиза в США, альбом был продан тиражом 13 000 копий. В ноябре 2009 года, альбом стал золотым, продажи в Польше составили 15 000 копий. Evangelion было присвоено звание альбома года журналом Terrorizer.

В феврале 2010 года Evangelion был номинирован на польской музыкальной премии Фредерик в категориях: специальный выпуск — лучший графический дизайн, тяжелых метал альбомов и альбом года. В январе 2009 года, группа была на заключительном этапе процесса записи и репетиции альбома. Behemoth приехали в студию Радио-Гданьск в Польше 16 февраля 2009 года, чтобы начать работу над альбомом. Группе удалось выявить Даниэля Бергстрэнда из Meshuggah, In Flames, Dark Funeral, чтобы помочь сделать запись ударных партий на альбоме. Даниэл Бергстрэнд использовал некоторые нетрадиционные методы для записи ударных, он использовал 22 канала для записи ударных, они звучат очень органично и в то же время естественно — мощно и агрессивно. В комнате для записи использовалось два атмосферных микрофона, которые играли очень большую роль в записи.

К концу марта группа заканчивала запись гитарных партий для альбома, с помощью Войцеха и Славомира Веславских в студии Hertz. В течение пяти дней они закончили три песни и записали три партии ритм-гитары, после которой они записали бас-гитару, соло-гитару и вокал.

Повествование:
Наблюдай послание с тёмной стороны луны
Призрачный воин весь в ледяной стали
Когда я гордо касаюсь моего холодного оружия
Языческая сталь дышит полнолунием

[NARRATION:] Observe the message from the darkside of the moonspectral warrior all in icy steelas I proudly touch my cold weaponthe pagan steel sighs with the fullmoon.

[WARRIOR:] So the war has just beganenslaved nations of the tombworldcan finally reach their weapons.

[NARRATION:] Evil arrives in glory, comes on the four windsand the masters of hellthronesride the darkness on devilwingsforces of the earth unleash the storms.

[JEHOWAH:] Final day is here my childrenlambs of christ, my believerswe must destroy the reign of evil.

Since a long time I've visited those old dungeons
I spilled the first blood in the depth
In the darkness of the forest's maze
I found her, morbid beauty
I used to spend whole days
In the mystic places of Delduwath
There, where the light of the halfmoon
Fell as the dying sun

They came from the cold north
Carried on the wings of waves
No one knows the cult
Bloody acts were only a legend...
Eternal hate and horned
Sodomycame to the lands of virgin's goodness
Moonless night showed me their returni saw drakkars between the silence, in the dream
When the witches called the spirits from forest

From the land which hasn't entered yet
into the history
From the depths of swamps we are bringing
Proudly our name
As night, kissing the moonlight
-rebel children living in twilight
Like wolves...
...some named us so...

From the land which hasn’t entered yet
into the history
From the depths of swamps we are bringing
Proudly our name
At night, kissing the moonlight
-rebel children living in twilight
Like wolves...
...some named us so...

Veto! I vomited forth
From a throat choked by rope
As lunatic mob
Shackled maimed feet
Tore asunder both wings

Pluck my eyes out
Rip my tongue

inflict the seed ov Eve upon me
the heritage ov Cain can't be undone
'tis my rejection! 'tis my denial!
that stirs with repulsive mortifications
they attempted to deprive me from my odium ov chaos
they threw my wretched body into rivers ov purgatory
for such is a consequence ov my angelic nature
abortion ov god in my leprous womb

О, Высший, хвала
Tuf ur biu
Тебе, великому силой своей,
Bi a chefu du nur af
Достойному духом своим, которого боятся,
Nur af an nuteru
Боятся боги,
Kha her nest af

There was only one long and terrible winter
Where icy blackness covered the sun and the grass
Dethroned light ended its existence
Hell brought there all the thunder and winds
All the blasphemy from the four sides of the world
Gods have forgotten this land, where fear
caught the throat with the bony hand
And the wolf howled gloomy song of cold, frost and hunger…

Night in the mountains comes with the fly of a raven
Carpathians bathed in the light of the moon
In old ruins where the dying shadows
Are watching the shine from the stars
Nobody remembers days of glory
Several hundreds years passed in silence
Not a soul has been seen here
I am standing on a hill

Rise thy horns
For I'm at one with the dark
Divine presence ascends
Touching the forehead ov god

Hark! I was not, I have become
In rapture, in vengeance, in blood
From word into flesh

Ascending in sectarian rapture
We are an oracle ov locust
Sanguine as yet annointed
We rave the pearly gates

Walk with me, Kaiafhat
Pilate, lead the way
I call upon Cains ov this world

Ever seme the Devil breathes
My steps never outweighed the gravity ov Hell
So I keep praying for rain ov flaming rocks
To foster the symmetry ov worlds

I had a vision ov the impenetrable darkness
Never found on neither side ov the Moon
It wields composure ov my soul

IN THE GARDEN OF DISPERSION
Nergal

On Ye Hill
Where Ye Sun Behind Horizon Hides
There Is Nothing
Except Our Breaths
And Crux Of Events

Father!
Art thou blind and deaf?
Old man!
Decrepit and hideous
Hidden in woods of madness and anxiety
I am the beast, thou - the refugium of love
Whereas your love as a cockroach
Under my own boot

listen ye all who can preach
I am the god's begotten son
I tell three woe shall be no more
woe, thou shalt end up in flames!

no horns I have nor pair ov wings
I am the balance ov thy universe
I have no number

Split my skin, fuck my wounds
Desecrate the Inner Sanctum in which I hide
Drag me through the mud, blind my whitening eyes
That I may see darkness in the tunnels ov light

Pain I cannot deny
As I rot in this empty shell
Swamped in disaffection

Vesnice hori, noci jdu sam,
zkratim si cestu pres pole lan,
obklopen dymem, na konci sil,
ae smysl neznam, jasny mam cil,
vidomi ztracim a prece bdim,
vede mi Iabel, tam dolu - k svym.

Snad jsem jij mrtev, pro tento svit,

Children of technocracy invoke synthetic spirits
Plastic crosses choke perspiring necks
MAAT - I cast dices, but curtain of future is still hermetic closed
Rise! Rise up my Soror, and you, my Father -
High! Towards the stars when the white fire
Which purifies and melts all false sacrament

Ashes' power equal thousands suns

Lasy Pomorza

Kiedy moc piorunow tnie niebiosa w cieple letnie dni,
Zwracam swe oczy ku Bogom,
wspanialej i poteznej naturze,
dzlekujac za dar, ukryty w blyskow potedze...
Zimna noc zalegla nad prastarym borem,
ulewne deszcze wypelniaja drogi mej wsi,

[Background Lead: Seth]

In my church ov disbelief
It canst get no better
When days turn from black to grey
In church ov indifference
So innocent in their guilt
Perfect in their imperfection

Jam ciemny jest wśród wichrów płomień boży,
lecący z jękiem w dal –– jak głuchy dzwon północy –-
ja w mrokach gór zapalam czerwień zorzy
iskrą mych bólów, gwiazdą mej bezmocy.

Ja komet król –– a duch się we mnie wichrzy
jak pył pustyni w zwiewną piramidę –-
ja piorun burz –– a od grobowca cichszy

["I love you! I love you more than Jesus!"
Lucifer, The Prophecy]

Jam ciemny jest wśród wichrów płomień boży
lecący z jękiem w dal -- jak głuchy dzwon północy
ja w mrokach gór zapalam czerwień zorzy
Iskrą mych bólów, gwiazdą mej bezmocy

I believe in Satan
Who rend both heavens and earth
And in the Antichrist
His dearly misbegotten
The anguish ov our future
A Bastard spawned from lie
Born ov a harlot nun
Reign high in luxury

MODERN ICONOCLASTS
Nergal

The centuries ov woe have passed away
With eternal youth at my command I unleash hell!
Cast out ov Egypt were we, with lust embraced serpentine heart
Our wrath shalt now shower o'er the earth
Praise to thee, whose tongue doth speak fire

From the dark ancient temples
Horrible palaces
From the land of dark forests
Kingdom of snow and frost
Where true evil dwells
Where flames are spiritual food
Where black satanic holocaust strikes
And people are baptized in blood

Without Sin I Can't Make Religion
As Without Sin There's No Whoredom
And When In My Heart God Becomes A Harlot
I Shall Sin, Sin, Sin Again
("...Every World Has Its Space
Every Life Has Its Time
Every Mass Has Its God
Every God Has His Guillotine...")

FOOLS! I cast you all aside!
Your bullets harm me not
I am heresy, blazing hell
The embodiment ov all you fear
I am all which you can never be
A truth revealing hate machine
No longer will I tolerate
Lies from a kingdom built on dread

I the Sun ov man
the offspring ov the stellar race
my halo fallen and crushed upon the earth
that I may bring balance to this world

I son ov perdition
from sheer nothingness transgressed
unto the highest self – to utmost freedom

Akephalos
Shine thru me
Come forth in war
Come forth in peace

Bring down the sun
Extinguish all the stars
Let me remain

Voice ov an aeon
Angelus Satani
Ora pro nobis Lucifer
You alone have suffered
The fall and torment ov shame
I’ll smite heaven’s golden pride
And never pity thee
Immaculate divine

I the son of man
The offspring of the stellar race
My halo fallen and crushed upon the earth
That I may bring balance to this world

I son of perdition
From sheer nothingness transgressed
Unto the highest self to utmost freedom

OF SEPHIROTIC TRANSFORMATION AND CARNALITY
Lyrics - Krzysztof Azarewicz, music – Nergal

Madness creeps through arteries of Grand Cosmic Body
Higher and lover, towards all directions
It violates old laws, repeals all orders
And seeks infinity in holy letters

I, Pan Satyros
Rise I through ye spiral light
Follow'd I ye path ov a'yin,
Where ye all-begetting eye rests
Across ye cascade ov sensations
And ye consciousness ov body
Volcano ov emotions am I
Ye ring ov saturn -

ANNU KUNUK NERGAL
ANNU KUSSUM PAZUZU
ULTU ULLA
BIT LITUM

Hark the howl ov pestilential wind!
Atem, devourer ov life forever blackening!

Hark!
The all prophetic incantation
I was here before the beginning came
And I am the one to come after all myths and gods
Remain I shall beyond the end ov days

I pity Thee not oh self despising slave
Thy self contempt filled with disgust

In the night of full moon sacrifice
We are joining with the sign of drums of war
Freezing moon opens the gates of paradise
Our swords are raised up to the skies

Pure evil and hate!
Sodomy and pain!

Sealed we womb ov night
yoni mudra - gesture ov might
that bowl ov sacrifice
filled with one drop ov blood -
oceans ov the earth

lap aloud wine of sabbath
icha-pushpa, fluid ov virgin

My black face in the shadow
Of the pentagram
Among the silent forests
In the never existing town
My fingers touched the sky
I was god in forgotten times
Jesus and his servants were
Sucking my feet

Fallen into oblivion...
The last view inside my mind –
Silver walls ofg the castle
Risen proudly towards the sky
The rebellion failed...
Many brave ones went down-
Hung on black trees they are
Blown by the four winds

Come forth!
From the void beyond the stars
From the blackened shores Thee arrive
Thou art ov gods
Yet supreme above them all
Thou art mocked and blessed

Speak ov me not as one!

[“What we need is hatred. From it our ideas are born.”
Jean Genet]

consumed by tongues ov fire
burning like Phlegethon
holy gardens reduced to ash
extinguishing light ov hope
bringing the end ov the days

Father ov Terror!
Aba ol-Hol
enter the pylon
thru' the galleys ov past
catacombs ov night
into the starry womb

slay, slay!

Ascend as empires burn
Conquistadors ov the promised land
Like the sons ov Anak
They shall rise from beyond the dawn
Rise as victorious trumpets call
Chimera, Geryon and Thee oh Sphinx!
Accompanied by Mars
Jupiter's rays in fearless eyes unrestrained

I've met in surrounding me nature
Spirits and deities wielding the element,
In a field, in a forest, in rocks and caves
And I won their goodwill with sacrifices.
Horses carried me to the skies,
White, beautiful steeds... Beloved.
I was attacking brushwood violently
I touched motherland...

Mystic voices lead me to suicide
I will unite my flesh with him tonight
Blasphemous son in my veins
Into the magic circle

Lord of dark winds
Obscure my soul
Burn my eyes

fucked by hecate
yet I shall not be yours
no fantasies nor the promised grace
I will chase you down
rid me ov slavery
strengthen up my mind
with a bliss from below

THE ACT OF REBELLION
Nergal

Fucked By Hecate
Yet I Shall Not Be Yours
No Fantasies Nor The Promised Grace
I Will Chase You Down
Rid Me Ov Slavery

Welcome to Theatre of Absurd
When the world and rason are audience
And actor illusion and experience only

Here gleams shiny mandala
In the chamber of creation and annihilation
And Lingam links with Yoni wisdom stone make

oh, cursed profanated thougths of glory return to me
receive my every fall, my every pain and misfortune
and wrath will born inside you
stronger than sounds of bells
primeval instincts will wake
pagan brothers of our blood
professing to the majesty of horned evil

Darkness spread its dark wings
Whispers of woods were growing
With every moment
I felt them paying enormous tributes
Powers, which were still alive at night
In the battle of light with dark earth
Spirits of their own nature fight proudly
Live by my side, feed young heart of mine

I descended from the Mount Sinai
Unleashed the splendour upon a scroundel mob
To shelter where no messianic light
Drove one single ray into the pulp ov life
O sweet Salome I beckon thee
Bring forth thy heinous offering
Without your love
So incomplete

Freedom – said I
And then the sun set and the dusk
Fell on my life
Transformations and metamorphoses
It was what I experienced there, on the south of heaven
I was striking with my fists at the heavens ceilings
Too low I fell, I did not reach the step-father's neck
Although his visage seemed so close

Freedom – said I
And then the sun set and the dusk
Fell on my life
Transformations and metamorphoses
It was what I experienced there, on the south of heaven
I was striking with my fists at the heavens ceilings
Too low I fell, I did not reach the step-father's neck
Although his visage seemed so close

Ho Ophios ho archaios
Ho Drakon ho megas
Ho en kai ho on kai
Ho zon tous aionas
Meta tou pneumatos sou
Ho Ophios ho archaios
Ho Drakon ho megas

O Mighty Watcher!
Thou art all and all art in Thee
free me from mortals
intoxicate with Thy self love
O Mighty Sentinel!
Thou art the concious one
break the monotony ov existence
that I may illuminate!

Когда придет время провожать текущий год и подводить итоги, то можете быть уверены, что новый альбом Behemoth войдет в список лучших. Бравые поляки ворвались в "четырнадцатый" как победившие воины, высоко поднимая свои мечи и распевая марши, и вся эта бравада не на пустом месте. Бессменный фронтмен группы, Адам Дарский, взглянул в глаза смерти и та сделала вид, что "косит траву", и лейкемия отступила, а остальные участники хорошенько набирались вдохновения и сил, чтобы в итоге первыми начать битву за звание "лучший релиз 2014-ого". Хотите вы того или нет, но их удар оказался сильнейшим. На данный момент. До тех пор, пока на поле не выйдут такие же достойные противники.

"The Satanist" (вот такое оригинальное название получила новая работа поляков) предлагает слушателю прежде всего самый настоящий блэк-метал, что у людей, привыкших к пост-Satanica творчеству группы (доминирование дэтового саунда, фирменная молотиловка ударных г-на Инферно) может вызывать удивление, граничащее с неприязнью. Но справиться с "изжогой" у завзятых скептиков "Сатанист" все-таки способен.

Все дело в качестве и эпичности. Behemoth всегда держали высокую планку и каждый их альбом лишь подтверждал их высочайший статус, а "Evangelion" и вовсе катапультировал их в стратосферу. С "The Satanist" же ситуация сложилась не менее примечательная: на протяжении всех девяти композиций у тебя ни разу не возникает мысли, что "это не Behemoth", даже несмотря на то, что уже с "Blow Your Trumpets, Gabriel" группа делает заявление о смене вывески. Совсем наоборот. Все звучит органично и в фирменном ключе, и названный выше открывающий трек с первых же секунд облепляет характерной злобно-инфернальной атмосферой. Начинаясь с довольно-таки примитивного риффа и скромной поступи ударных, песня к середине разрывается мощными бласт-битами, словно до этого момента накапливая энергию, а конец и вовсе представляет собой эпичнейшее звуковое зрелище, свидетельствующее о том, что ад прорвался прямо на ваши уши и спасения нет. Ну а звучание драматичной мелодии вызывает мурашки на коже и понимание того, что вы, кажется, влюбились. Основательно. Но что же будет дальше?

А дальше только лучше. Поляки вовсю демонстрируют изобретательность и периодически вплетают в композиционную ткань необычные узоры. Типично блэковые высказывания на "Fuvor Divinus" и "Messe Noire" сменяются удачным реверансом в сторону "Evangelion" у "Amen" и "Ora Pro Nobis Lucifer"; "Ben Hasar" заигрывает с восточными мотивами, уступая затем место шикарнейшей "In The Absence ov Light", содержащей джазовые элементы и акустику в середине. Центральная и носящее одно имя с пластинкой вещь - это, возможно, один из современных столпов творчества группы, удачно соединяющий брутальность и изысканность. Но особое место в наших сердцах занимает завершающий монолитный трек "O Father O Satan O Sun". Это семиминутное эпичнейшее зрелище, квинтэссенция "чистого" Behemoth, которой сама судьба уготовала занять место "Lucifer" на живых выступлениях. Даже помыслить нельзя более удачного завершения альбома.

from the top ov the highest mountain
prior to descent, my fall for Thee
my weapon is silence
I, bringer ov light to burn this goddamn Eden down!

behold! I rise from primal silence
as a storm crushing dismal shores ov Acheron
my weapon is violence

O, ye whose future is in other hands!
Foul feeders! Slipped, are ye on you excrement?
Parasites! Having the world lousy,
Imagine ye are of significance to Heaven
I, who enjoy my body
(I) would rather pack with wolves
than enter your pest - houses

THOUSAND PLAGUES I WITNESS
Nergal

One eyed old man I am
Yet I possess the knowledge of thousand sages
An unborn child I am
Though I have existed for billion years
The invisible army I am

THOU SHALT FOREVER WIN
Nergal

I break the chains of unbelief
Burden of millenial slavory
Forest, eternat wander
Extending beyond earthly dimensions

Enslaved in a cloud above the vast sea
I've finished my journey through the 7 incarnations
The blaze of my glory die out for this world
As the blaze of my rustly steel died

Dark forests, unknown vast lands
Were my home, my dream which came true
Wild as eternal fear of the blackness

Leviathan!
eternally Thy powers rage within
I am reborn
purified
in the burning flames ov Sodom
by the powers ov the gods
awaken the mighty Will
that shalt carry me through eternities

From the blood of the earth
From the sacred soil
....spell
.... with these acts of revenge
Come forth, markings of the underworld!

Blessed, but thou are not
...god...

"Paint me as a dead soul ...
The flesh, the image, the reflection
Let's complete the illusion"
John Balance

there is a flame untamed
deep in my heart
unyielding, pure Ain Soph

There is a flame untamed
Deep in my heart
Unyielding, pure ain soph
'Tis measureless
Our right divine:

Aspire to all horizons
To seek nature ov things

Pure paganism I worship in the woods
Forest's mountains never saw by human eye
Kingdom of the ancient and horned evil
Covered by golden wood and black thorns
My armor like a bark of old oak
I rape my wounds and blood flows down to the ground

Covered by the snow naked crowns of trees

waters' running down
by the silver moonrays -
towards the foundation
reflecting themselves
and creating deadly forms ov life

crystal formula

Посадите семя Праматери на меня
Наследие Каина не может быть уничтожено
Это мое отклонение, это мое опровержение
Что шевелится с отталкивающим умерщвлением

Они попытались лишить меня моей ненависти хаоса
Они бросили мое несчастное тело в реки чистилища
Таково последствие моей ангельской природы

How hard to fall asleep when I miss your majesty
How hard to live when I long for your devil's warmth
And livid skies over Wittenberg
And the empty streets and pavements of the town
Everything sinks into dead tears
And craves for charlatantry
Mephisto you are born inside me again
But will you speak my names in the ancient tongues?

Delightful night...
When the foolmoon lights cemetery's valley
Winds of frost strike my tomb
When I am in eternal sleep
When wild storms dwell
Wind blows through the Baltic
Instincts unleash the war inside
And strike the sky with holocausthunder

Delightful night...
When the foolmoon lights cemetery's valley
Winds of frost strike my tomb
When I am in eternal sleep
When wild storms dwell
Wind blows through the Baltic
Instincts unleash the war inside
And strike the sky with holocausthunder

Lyrics – Krzysztof Azarewicz, music – Nergal

Praise to thee – Sabbath Goat
Rising from the smoke
Entheogenic god
Dwelt in inbetweeness
In quadriga sexualis
