album: Casus Luciferi (2003)
track №5
- I Am The Earth -
He lives through me.
All of what I am.
The needle of hamartia
Injected in the flesh of man.
With the soul of a carrion;
Sleeping, yet awake.
For underneath this skin
Crawls Eden's cursed snake.
Hic est draco caudam suam devorans!
You may have felt it's cold
Carressing down your spine.
Gently yet with strength,
And with a morbid touch.
For its real shape is a razor
Smeared with the Devil's seed,
And infected with it's plauge
Are the scars from which I bleed.
I am the earth,
Chained to horns.
Its ground is my flesh,
Pierced by Holy thorns.
I am the earth,
Burning deep within.
It's water is my blood,
Blackened by my sins.
Swallowed by His mystery.
Lost within it's maze.
The bridges behind they burn
From the pyres of Hell's grace.
One after another
The stars fade into black.
He has called my name.
There is no way back...
Pierced by His will.
Trapped within His lair.
My flesh shall be the sign
Of that fires are to fear.
For those who walk upon me
Shall be punished for their turns.
I am the earth,
And within me the Devil burns!
I am the earth,
In the shadow of the Lord.
A crucifix of flesh,
Yet sinfully adored.
I am the earth,
As your life with me does blend.
I am His truth;
The world without end...
The world without end.
