Raging winds roam over Babylon like a primal chaos spread

Emaciated beasts howl with angel voices

Thou shalt be desolate forever, Thou shalt be desolate forever

In this place shall infuse the venom

Drop by drop, in bloody mire, until the hearth of the earth

O abhorred, for so much in death and carnage you delight

Behold and rejoice, freed from the skein of time

Fulfill your sublime destiny and reveal your divine essence

In fire and hail, in fire and hail!

I will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters

saith the Lord Almighty



In remembrance, they shall pray backwards

As to pray is to breathe God

Words were spoken, a bilious stream alike

As the Spirit gave them utterance

Like a funeral larvae on the tongue

Like a gash on the holy bread

An ignited halo makes the skin taut



Verily I say unto you

It is a God that came to you in malevolence

(And it shall come to pass in the day that the Lord

shall give thee rest from thy sorrow)

And ordained the unity

(Be ye separate, saith the Lord)

What communion hath light with darkness?

What concord hath Christ with Belial?

This congregation was cast out of humanity

Under this dire sun of frost

Like an abominable branch!
