The Worshipper

"I am waiting

"Dead but dreaming"

For my time

The time

Of Master

Of my God

Of darkness

Of light that shines from

Behind the stars

Behind everything

That is now rotten

Times

Which were nothing

Lies of the past

Era of human indulgence

But now

I am waiting

The time which is near

The time which is gone so long before

The time of my Master

The time of awakening from the life

The time of superior truth of death"

I've swallowed the swords

Which were meant for you

I've suffered the nails

Which were crafted for your persecution

You ignorant ones are who I hate

With this titanic wrath

With this all-consuming hatred

Pain is the meaning

Pain is the glory

In this pain are the keys of all holiness

Hearken as I bless you

Feel the exaltation of the pure flames

The edge of Satan's sword

Pressing its godly mark on you

"I see, brothers,

You won't believe me

But I see

That something which has crept so long in the dark

Would soon be an erect God amidst us

Amidst our dreams, the Truth

Born from chaos, and of death its life is strengthened

My Master

Come, I pray, knowing that you will

Emerge, I am thy gate

I am the altar

I am no self, I am everything

Holiness, the blasting light of new dawn's majesty

But will they see?

Without eyes? - I thought not"

Blood-painted dawn of eternity

Gates of fire, I see as the billowing clouds break

In my prayer of darkness

Kneeling at my altar of stone and the one of flesh

This putrid flesh of mine

My Master, why hast thou remembered me

But not every being?

Why hast thou not told of yourself with better lips than mine

These which are black with my blood?

"I know that I am blind, my brothers

And because of this I see the light

The light, the darkness - listen and understand

Why is the flesh of earth opened to existence?

Why do the last flames still delay?

In this madness I see crystal reality as something

Broken on the palm of God

In the fist of Satan

And hearken that laugh - voice of Satan

Dismal ravishing euphoria of death

From all that is made with human hands

Perish Now"
