Lyrics

The slate grey cloud that harnesses hail
Unto the hunter and hunted
A haunting chord of longevity sounds like the voice of
God in the rain [Sister Redempta :] "Thou who ridest on the wings of the wind deign to commune with me"
Essence of innermost arcana
Espositor of emblematic death
Circle of black evocations and pacts
Pentacles and sigils unholy
The lance, the nails
The cross and diadem
Thorned and bloody [Charuch :] "In nomine dei nostri satanus luciferi excelsi"
Incensed, the limbless forms of their first hour
Sing unto the moon
Treacherous rains that encumber her way
Soak the habit through to the skin
The almadel shudders with the manifest form
A serene and angular figure
With the taste of menses rich on the lips
The horned spirit seduces [Charuch :] "I am the way, the truth and the life"
Inchoate vision,
Abstruse,
Charuch Like a breath captured in the night air
Versicles 'pon royalty of spirits of the cardinal points of
Hell The bosom of night boasts a rhythm of storms
With a vagina wet with lust
She dreams without sleeping of a goat faced god and stigmata that drips blood like wine
Holy sister
I crave your benediction for your indulgence and intimacy
But your blessings are lost on an unholy host
Willfully damned such as me
