Lyrics Beneath The Crimson Vaults Of Cydonia - Bal-Sagoth

Beneath The Crimson Vaults Of Cydonia

This red charnel pit of primal horror, howling black ecstasies to the void.
Ancient and divine, older than the hidden Icosahedron, now rebirthed beyond
the chaosphere.
Rise… rise and destroy!
Hatred, carnage, slaughter, havoc, chaos, murder!
I am become the devourer of all life!
Phobos, Deimos!
The moons' rays liquified in these blood red pyramids
In the shrines of abomination, black tongues rapt with blasphemy
Chaosphere, watchtowers, genesis, Cydonia…
The Abyss yawns wide!
Spirit of the carrion-thronged battlefield, open wide thy gate!
Colossal shapes etched against the moons, supine obeisance 'fore the mound
Accursed fiends, hail the Slitherer, abhorrent jaws drooling lunacy
The Abyss yawns wide… Claws sharpened on the dead
The Abyss yawns wide… Ensanguined fangs agleam
Great shadow, awaken and eclipse the suns of a thousand worlds…
Slumbering 'neath these crimson vaults, behold the majesty of the Outer
Darkness!
Praise the Z’xulth!
Fell Worm of the Black Galaxy, awaken and descend without pity upon the
Tellurian sphere!
Destroy the flaccid priests of the newborn usurper faiths.
Sweep away the thralls of the cruciform stave!
Crush the lackeys of the
corrupted hexagram!
Devour the slaves of the eastern crescent!
Crush them, grind them, slay them all!
Plague-blessed, flay them alive!
Now, behold in terror what waits beneath the crimson vaults of Cydonia…
