1. THE RISE OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH

Sun enter the Capricorn
The Star of Sin will shine
The King of Sodom drink again
Lady Babylon's wine

One hundred and twenty days
In the depth of the Dead Sea
And walk the Path of Peccatus
And the Setian alkhemy

Rise of Sodom and Gomorrah
Reveal gnosis of Borora

The princess Justine
Sing a song of her sin
Of pleasure and pain
And virtues in vain
To the ear that will hear
And the one without fear
To the old fallen ones and the forbidden thing
They all have done

Sun enter the Capricorn
And the Star of Sin will shine
The King of Sodom drink again
Lady Babylon's wine

Rise of Sodom and Gomorrah
Reveal gnosis of Borora

Hear the king Bera
Cry out in the land of Canaan
And the daughters of Lot
Cry for their father
And their God the cry of
Complaint of Sodom and
Gomorrah, yes, it's loud
And their sins are heavy.

2. BIRTH OF VENUS ILLEGITIMA

Aphrodite is rising from the shell
A newly born
To be seen to expel from the paradise
To drink from her well

Aphrodite is falling into the hell of her sins
And the lust for that spell
Of the forbidden nectar from her well

O Venus illegitima
Born again
O Venus illegitima
Without shame
O Venus illegitima
Child of sin
O Venus illegitima
Is my name

Aphrodite is rising from the shell
A newly born
To be seen to expel from the paradise
To drink from her well

Aphrodite is falling into the hell of her sins
And the lust for that spell
Of the forbidden nectar from her well

O Venus illegitima
Born again
O Venus illegitima
Without shame
O Venus illegitima
Child of sin
O Venus illegitima
Is my name

O Venus illegitima
O Venus illegitima.

3. WINE OF ALUQAH

El-a'awer, talbis iblis
Gulshan-i raz, zat-i shaitan
Ya zat-i shaitan

Drink the wine of aluqah and breathe the secret smoke of God
Intoxicated by the green shadows of the paradise
Know that nothing's true and that everything is permitted
So read the old man of the mountain in his book of lies

El-a'awer, talbis iblis
Gulshan-i raz, zat-i shaitan
Ya zat-i shaitan

Drink the wine of aluqah and breathe the secret smoke of God
Intoxicated by the green shadows of the paradise
Know that nothing's true and that everything is permitted
So read the old man of the mountain in his book of lies

The nectar of aluqah will run down my dreams
The spring of this paradise hide deep inside the unknown streams
The nectar of aluqah will run down my dreams
The spring of this paradise hide deep inside the unknown streams.

4. CLAVICULA NOX

Dark horizons come close to me
And magic will be my key

I will travel through the gate
To be the finder of my fate
Nox, the night and key
I will open your old mystery

Key of night, open up!
Key of night, open up!

Deep abysses I sink into
And behind the light I go

My long journey never ends
But I will receive what I send
Nox, the night and key
I will open your old mystery

Key of night, open up!
Key of night, open up!

Clavicula nox.

5. THE WILD HUNT

Hunted by the gargoyles through the labyrinth
Loosing Ariadne's thread I'm gone astray!
Tumbling into chaos without anything
And my holy guardian angel has walked away

I'm chasing my shadow inside my own soul
I am the persecutor of myself in the wild hunt
The horned god take me through infernal journeys

The dogs are barking and the owls cry out loud
Shadows are laughing and screaming in my ears
I see the outline of the horned man-in-black
He stretches his hand to my left shoulder in fear

I'm chasing my shadow inside my own soul
I am the persecutor of myself in the wild hunt
The horned god take me through infernal journeys

I throw myself into all the demons
I cast myself into the wild hunt
The forest is the labyrinth of fear
And all the dead running in the hunt
I give myself unto all my demons
And let them eat of my mind and soul
I will gain strange powers in this ravage
I cast myself into the wild hunt

Hunted by the gargoyles through the labyrinth
Loosing Ariadne's thread I'm gone astray!
Tumbling into chaos without anything
And my holy guardian angel has walked away

I'm chasing my shadow inside my own soul
I am the persecutor of myself in the wild hunt
The horned god take me through infernal journeys.

6. EYE OF SHIVA

Trinity of space, inside the sacred maze
Shiva in the cosmic dance, the divine eye gaze

Eye of Shiva, dance the world!

Lightening flashes from your eye
Destroy the illusion

All destruction by glance, set the world in a trance
Inside the sacred maze, Shiva's cosmic dance

Eye of Shiva, dance the world!

Bom bom Shiva bom Shankara
Bom bom Shiva bom Rudra
Bom bom Shiva bom Vama Chara
Kala Tattwa

Great eye of Shiva, thunderbolt Rudra, unveil lady Maya
Great eye of Shiva, dance the world
Into the cosmic maze of outer space
Unveil lady Maya.

7. BLACK SUN

Black sun rising over mankind
All the slavegods will be sunblind
Sorath shining through his new priest
Who proclaim the rise of The Beast

Bear the torch across the darkness
And hold up the spear of destiny
Hail deggial, sign of the black sun
We will light the flames of victory, hail!

Black sun burning the face of earth
And preparing the new gods birth
Sorath coming to the black feast
And speak through the voice of The Beast

Bear the torch across the darkness
And hold up the spear of destiny
Hail deggial, sign of the black sun
We will light the flames of victory, hail!

8. DRACONIAN TRILOGY

PART ONE: THE OPENING

Lepaca draconis nox tarados
Lepaca draconis nox tarados.

9. DRACONIAN TRILOGY

PART TWO: MORNING STAR

Red Dragon from the first morning of time
Red Dragon of ancient depths of the mind
Rise up from the abyss of ignorance
Coil into the existence of the blind

Morning Star, please bear your light
Through the day to next night
Fallen One who stole the spark
Bring it into the dark

O Typhon Apep Lothan
O Drakon Typhon Apep Lothan

Morning Star please bear your light
Through the day to next night
Fallen One who stole the spark
Bring it into the dark

Dragons Of Tomorrow flying to their Babel of yesterday
They open the seal of Sorath and release the eleventh Ray.

10. DRACONIAN TRILOGY

PART THREE: BLACK DIAMONDS

Red Dragon burning again and dragging down stars
And fallen angels down from the heavens to the new-born world
To fulfil the prophecy and be the force to see
Red Dragon flying now and casting down stars
And ancient angels down from the heavens to the burning earth
To fulfil the prophecy
And be the force in man once again, as it was in the beginning

The diamonds glimmering in the darkness
To be the stars of the night
Black pearls will shine so bright
Of the Draconian might.

11. RAVEN OF DISPERSION

Fly alone into the dark and the cloud of memory
To see the world and angels be hurled into the sea
Of misery and cease to be

Black bird fly, rise very high
To a place above the sky
Take me away, lead astray
Where I find another day

Fly high to a place above the sky
Fly away where I find another day

Fly alone into the dark and the cloud of memory
To see the world and angels be hurled into the sea
Of misery and cease to be

Black bird fly, rise very high
To a place above the sky
Take me away, lead astray
Where I find another day

Fly high to a place above the sky
Fly away where I find another day

The black bird carry me on its wings
To a place beyond the flood of memory
The Raven of Dispersion from
A'arab Zaraq fly in ecstasy.
