From the Cradle to Enslave

Two thousand fattened years like maniacs

Have despoiled our common grave

Now what necrophagous Second Coming backs

From he cradle to enslave?

Sickle constellations stud the belts that welt the sky

Whilst the bitter winter moon prowls the clouds, dead eyed

Like shifting parent flesh under silk matricide

Watchful as she was upon Eden

Where every rose arbor and orchard she swept

Hid the hissing  of a serpent libido

In an ancient tryst with catastrophe

Soon to be kept

Hear that hissing now on the breeze

As through the plundered groves of the carnal garden

A fresh horror blows, but ten billion souls

Are blind to see the rotting wood for the trees

Wow

This is the theme to a bitter Armageddon

Night chords rake the heavens

Pan Daemon Aeon

And what use are prayers to that god?

As devils bay concensus for the space to piss

On your smoldering faith

And the moldering face of this world long a paradise lost

This is the end of everything

Hear the growing Khôra that a new dawn shall bring

Dance macabre 'neath the tilt of the zodiac

Now brighter stars shall reflect on our fate

What sick nativities will be freed when those lights burn black?

The dark side of the mirror always threw our malice back

I see the serpentine in your eyes

The nature of the beast as revelations arrive

Our screams shall trail to angels

For those damned in flames, repay

All sinners lose their lot on Judgement Day

We should have cut our losses at Calvary

But our hearts like heavy crosses, held the vain belief

Salvation, like a promised nation

Gleamed a claim away

This is the end of everything you have ever known

Buried the vanquished reason

Death in season

Driven like the drifting snow

Peace, a fragile lover, left us fantasizing war

On our knees or another fucker's shore

Hailing new flesh, read, then roared

To a crooked cross and a holy cause

What else be whipped to frenzy for?

This is the end of everything

Rear the tragedies that the seraphim shall sing

Old adversaries, next of Eve

Now they're clawing back

I smell their coming as through webbed panes of meat

Led by hoary death, they never left

Dreaming sodomies to impress on human failure

When we've bled upon our knees

Tablatures of gravel law shall see Gehenna paved

When empires fall and nightmares crawl

From the cradle to enslave

This is the end of everything

This is the end of everything

This is the end of everything

This is the end of everything

This is the end of everything

This is the end of everything

This is the end of everything

This is the end of everything
