A Heretic Art

K. Hungus Lives A little more theatrical than my usual, but cheese factor is limited, and damn the lyrics:
"I have gazed upon the throne of god/and it is...empty!" Killer. Black metal opera at its finest.

Kædē An extremely well crafted love letter to the genre. Favorite track: Baphomet Rules Below.

Held in darkness, steeped in sin Bitter, broken seraphim Years ov exile, cursing the skies The will to test fictitious might A thirst to claim the throne ov light Steel yourself, break your chains and rise Our father Lucifer Shackle the frail God Bind the flesh and silence the word A vengeance wreathed in blood Radiant through timeless hate Devour, desecrate He ascends with fire in His eyes Lucifer arise A poison promise shields the weak And robs the strong elite Sever His grip and cast this blight from the world Depart the land you fell upon Raise the call, herald the dawn With forked tongue, make your evil heard Our father Lucifer Shackle the frail God Bind the flesh and silence the word A vengeance wreathed in blood Radiant through timeless hate Devour, desecrate He ascends with fire in His eyes Lucifer arise Rise from the flames In splendour, in awe He will reclaim Through chaos, through war Rise Our father Lucifer Shackle the frail God Bind the flesh and silence the word A vengeance wreathed in blood Radiant through timeless hate Devour, desecrate He ascends with fire in His eyes Lucifer arise

A savage horde ov hatred Stirs beneath the world All stood in array Under banner ov sword and flame Subjugate the ruling God Eradicate the path once trod Let Heaven ring with echoes ov our dark Lord’s name Satan walks the ashen ground Satan holds the sacred crown Cloaked in hate, wreathed in woe Satan's wretched armies grow Satan works against the grain Satan births infernal pain Venomous, crimson-clawed Satan will abolish God Arcadia before us On winds ov fury, ride The golden walls ov Heaven, breached Crumbling down Crumbling down Torn by our hate Storming the gates Shade warriors pour from fissures ov gold I am Legion, for we are many Occupy the realm ov God March through His halls Drown Him in shadow Bury Him in fire Let Heaven ring with echoes ov our dark Lord’s name Satan walks the ashen ground Satan holds the sacred crown Cloaked in hate, wreathed in woe Satan's wretched armies grow Satan works against the grain Satan births infernal pain Venomous, crimson-clawed Satan will abolish God

Gathered under blackest night In silence, our order convenes Far from the Sun, the ritual begun A learned sacrilege, a heretic art Apostasy ov the mind but not ov the heart Not ov the heart Guard your belief in the Serpent and Lion Mystery ov mysteries Ritual under His name Baphomet Ruling below the world ov the wicked Father Mithras, our only crown Templars stand and avow Non nobis Heretic knight, doctrine betrayed Suffering for your abandoned crusade Harmonious anguish, agonized choir Think on your sins under pain ov immaculate fire Ablaze in the night Shackled in a waking funeral pyre Red claws reach towards me Skin blistering under steel But never shall I kneel I have bathed in fire I have watched as the skies boil I have passed through the black void I have gazed upon the throne ov God And it is empty Non nobis Domine, non nobis Sed nomini Tuo ad gloriam An order ov sleepless knights No inquisition can quell us Glory never won by the fierce and just Not unto us Mystery ov mysteries Ritual under His name Baphomet Ruling below the world ov the wicked Father Mithras, our only crown Templars stand and avow Non nobis Domine, Domine Immortal, divine New order, sculpted by torturous servants ov light Reborn Virtue unfurled, not ov this world Praise to He who crossed the flame Baphomet, our dark profane He who set the stone aglow He who rules below

Harken the dawn It breaks on disorder and strife The Serpent’s gaze has set on Him Our Elohim, giver ov life A trumpet sounds To silence angelic dispute Virulent faith is withering Grace shivering, doubt taking root Guide us Sun ov the morn Confide in us Be reborn Seraphim cry Bring forth the Accuser ov God Snarling lips so ravenous They, in avarice, jeer and applaud Punish His pride And banish Him ever from these halls Rage and blame conceal His face And stripped ov grace, Lucifer falls Beaten, naked, scorned by His kin Broken, weary and old We grieve His loss and we cherish His sin A beacon ov knowledge untold O bringer ov truth and empirical light We bask in His forbidden glow And raise Him a throne ov tyrannical might As above, so below Sun ov the morn Confide in us Be reborn A tremor below As Gabriel peers through the grey The dawn ov darkest danger Now, Archangel, breathe your dismay Blinding and bold The Shining One rises, reaching high His wings ov wrath deliver us We carnivorous sunder the sky Surrender, Gabriel, welcome defeat Behold our march on the Lord Celestial citadels quake at our feet We’ll conquer the kingdom abhorred What bells will toll for solace subdued? What bells for His delicate love? We'll seize His spires and forge them anew As below, so above
