In peace there is nothing so becomes a man As modest stillness and humility: But when the blast of war blows in our ears, Then imitate the action of the tiger; Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood
The gates of mercy shall be all shut up, And the flesh'd soldier, tough and hard of heart, In liberty of bloody hand shall range With consience wide as hell, mowing like grass Your flesh - fair virgins and your flowering infants.
What is it then to me, if impious war, Array'd in flames like to the prince of fiends, Do with his smirch'd complexion, all fell feats Enlink'd to waste and desolation? What is it to me, When you yourselves are cause, If pure maidens fall into the hand Of hot and forcing violation?
Your fathers taken by the silver beards, And there most reverend heads dash'd to the walls; Your naked infants spitted upon pikes, Whiles the mad mothers with their howls confus'd
Deadness of thy souls, captured spirit Wandering from orbits of deep purple darkness Profounded blackness, extinguished gleam Beloved anguish, my weirdest dream
For me they all shall suffer with you in thy endless sky, in eternity Thy stars shall die in my night Then they will never send your holy light - anymore
Gloria in excelsis deo Heaven is not longer yours Creatures of the light shall die Rape the shining stars in the sky
Black gloory, dead breath, lost in the depths of enlightment Black glory, tribulation, exhaust to our sacrifice
Oppressed a lightened chasteness heresy in the sky Duke of the breed melt away to profounded blackness - to sepulchral darkness
Gloria in excelsis deo Heaven is not longer yours Creatures of the light shall die Rape the shining stars in the sky
Haunted by the light I take refuge of the darkest night and prepare to fight
I'll never worship their ridicolous God Jeshua ben Joseph, God for foolish men I'll never kneel in front of the cross Jehova you liar, I burn your book of lies
As death comes over me My heart will beat no more And my eyes will close forever I'll take my last breath and wait;...................and wait
I see my mortal skin, from a place of gold Now free from my coffin, a seperate life in freedom;.....endless
Confronted with a light of live Legions of peace will take my soul away
I searched the dark, denied the light, give praise, be proud to (and) worship the night
Another Lord the fallen one, you know his name, awaits my soul Dark Angel called, icon of the underworld, my promised God Come now, creature of onethousand names, bring me away, my king of sacrifice
This was for you, this was for me, this was my ritual suicide A requiem for the light - is a symphony for the night
