1. Perversion Enthroned
Music:Palubicki
Lyrics:Helmkamp 10/95
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Born of sin and sacrifice
The tyrant seed of Germanicus
Destined for kingdoms of slaughter
Morbid revelations and incest
A viper lurking in the bosom of Rome
Wherefore forever stifles the light
He who is fallen
Witchiing swords and fratricide

Immortalized-perversion enthroned
Canonized-champion of ruin
Serpent obscene-walls bleeding black
Sadistic god-Caligula

Walls bleed black with intrigue
Beneath the throne of veneration
Cruelty's banner full eclipse
Success through suffocation
Where brothers kill their fathers And
murdered sons insist
That the fallacy of loyalty
Invokes a serpent's kiss

Immortalized-perversion enthroned
Canonized-champion of ruin
b Serpent obscene-walls bleeding black
Sadistic god-Caligula

Execute

Praetorian master
Sacrificial lamb
Persecute-torment
Blood stained hands

Command in name of Senate and the People
Let Saturnalian rites be raised
Uphold in desecrate mockery
The rigors of defamatory praise
Proud wives condemned to harlotry
To the fornication of barbarism
Wedded to torture despicable acts
Lust deviance and sadism

Immortalized-perversion enthroned
Canonized-champion of ruin
Serpent obscene-walls bleeding black
Sadistic god-Caligula


2. The Scapegoat
Music:Palubicki
Lyrics:Helmkamp 5/95
++++++++++++++++
I who wait and writhe and wrestle
With air that hath no boughs to nestle
My body weary of empty clasp
Give me the sign of the Open Eye
And the token erect of thorny thigh
And the word of madness and mystery
Scapegoat

I am a man
Do as thou wilt as a great god can
I am awake
In the grip of the snake
The eagle slashes with beak and claw
The gods withdraw
The great beasts come
Scapegoat

Goat of thy flock I am gold I am god
Flesh to thy bone-flower to thy rod
Thrust the sword through the galling fetter

With hoofs of steel I race on the rocks
Through solstice stubborn to equinox
All-devourer-all-begetter

And I rave
And I rape and I rip and I rend
Everlasting-world without end
Scapegoat

(from "Hymn to Pan" by Aleister Crowley)


3. Soulflayer
Music:Palubicki
Lyrics:Helmkamp:12/95
+++++++++++++
Firestorm within flesh
Carnivorous limpid eyes
Behind ecstatic lips
The crush of breath expires

Profanation-violation
Hammer bring down war
Penetration-Suffocation
Lust infernal storm

Warhead weeping wound
Orgasmic thrust one hundredfold
Flagellate ripping spine
One thousand cuts explode

Profanation-violation
Hammer bring down war
Penetration-Suffocation
Lust infernal storm

Lust infernal-Soulflayer

Blood exhale from back drawn lips
Hammer bring down war
Cruelty sucking at my steel
Lust infernal storm

Torment fluids burn
Resurrect the suffering
Lain down torn apart
Soulflayer rise again

Profanation-violation
Hammer bring down war
Penetration-Suffocation
Lust infernal storm


4. Lord of the Funeral Pyre
Music:Helmkamp/Palubicki
Lyrics:Helmkamp 10/95
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In the mouth of the wolf
I crush their execrations
Sweating out the poison
My skin crawls black with hate
Fall to fire
My vengeance burns across the sky
The scent of war and women
Black sullen thunder flames

Revenge
The taste is sweet
Their salted tears
The acrid smoke
The smell of burning death

Revenge
My joyous feast
I purge their souls
I stoke the flames
Inhale the burning death

Statuesque and impure
A cenotaph of treason
Avenge my fallen breath
A blood red crown my wrath
My throne eclipses the heavens
And storms above the stars
Iron judgement handed down
On wings of lightning death

Revenge
The taste is sweet
Their salted tears
The acrid smoke
The smell of burning death

Revenge
My joyous feast
I purge their souls
I stoke the flames
Inhale the burning death

Holocaust
Vengeance war
Skin crawls black with hate
Disaster
Angelcorpse
On wings of lightning death

Lord of the funeral pyre
Lord of my hate...
