I Am II am I
Apothosis crowned with a black sun nimbus
Of seven Immolating rays
Risen from a sea of cacophony and darkness
And invested within starless night
With the left hand stir the serpent
Who slumbers before the throne of Ariemanios
Awaken!
I Am the GatewayAt the barren edge of the silence of night
Neath the snare where the snake sheds its skin
Where the rivers of our strangest dreams collide
I ventured into the wilderness of death's awakening
To seek for that which all others abhor
On a road that defies the course of the world
With the blood of my heart seal the fated oath
Lantern of Eden's NightAsael, descend from high Eden!
From abyss to the sun
Down the bright serpent
Towards the dragon of Nun
Within the night of black Eden
Towards death I would bow
Illumed by the flames of a trident
To pierce the mark of my brow
Supplication Before the ThroneTehomat
Coil thy form above me
And guild me with seventy horns
As I rise from thy black sea temple
And pass back through the gates of
Death and the Abyss
To copulate with the Fates
And extinguish the stars with my hands
Things Which Are NaughtIn Death's holy silence I call you, God above me, God below me
By Neither, Neither, myself unseen, God within and God beyond me
Reflected in these mirrors darkly, God above me, God below me
By Neti, Neti, a faceless face, God within and God beyond me
You abysmal rift in the fabric of being
Ungraspable shadow, devour me
As I open my eyelids for your gnashing teeth
Where Fire Never Dreamt of ManAnd I dreamt of libricide and fire, a flaming pyramid opening the desert nights
Flaring letter's in mad laughter swirling across the sky, like screeching simurghs unchained
That stole the keys right out of St. Peter's hand to dare the borders to forgotten lands
Shine you terrible lamp of Wisdom, shine upon the desert fields of night
Shine within flesh and blackest mire, for my tongue has a dire taste for fire
Fallen into the wastelands of our dreams
