Internalized conflict externalized as war
Hymning thy rebellion Lucifer morning star
Bringer of light, forever shrouded by night
I am hell, a sulphurous lake of fire and suffering
♪
My blackened heart is a writhing mass of poisonous snakes
Grotesquely slithering as I slowly shed my dying skin
In darkness
Thou shalt come unto me
In darkness
Thou shalt worship me
In darkness
Thou art mine eternally
Thy curse
All of my lies
Be blessed
Lord of the flies
Scapegoat
Shunned and despised
My church is my sacrifice
Follow after me into the halls of my damnation
I wield death like a scythe, reaping my annihilation
A monarch enthroned upon my throne of guilt
I am hell, a barren shrine to decay and neglect
Uninhabitable, the darkened depths of cold empty space
My necropolis, the catacombs and tombs of disease
Monumental, the fallen temple of dead deities
My necrolog, an eternal curse lost in the abyss
In darkness
Thou shalt come unto me
In darkness
Thou shalt worship me
In darkness
Thou art mine eternally

Rise, Synagoga Satanae
Lies, Lucifuge Rofocale
Rise, Synagoga Satanae
Lies, Lucifuge Rofocale
Absoluter Höllenzwang
Mein infernaler Opfergang
Ein auferstanden Ungetier
Festgenagelt tief in mir
Et vidi de mare bestiam ascendentem
Habentem capita septem et cornua decem
Et super cornua eius decem diademata et super capita
Eius nomina blasphemiae
♪
Ich allein bin mein ein nichts
Verdorben mein Name, mein Leid, mein Reich, mein Wille, mein Fluch
Über mich und ausser mir
Täglich hungert mein Leib und dürstet meine Seele aufs Neue
Ich trage die Schuld
Wie ich ertrage die Beschuldigungen
Ich bin in Versuchung und kenne keine Erlösung
Denn mein ist das Leid, die Wut und das Streben
Bis zum Tod
Amen

Bow down before thy lord below
Bow down before thy lord below
I shall rise, I shall rule in blasphemy
And in the end when thou art mine thou will be like me

In saecula saeculorum
In stagnum ignis et sulphuris
In darkness
Thou shalt come unto me
In darkness
Thou shalt worship me
In darkness
Thou art mine eternally
