Revenant |
| «A question unto thee: what suffering made you linger?» |
| You show me Italy in late sixties, winter’s time |
| Catholic belief still struck so deep in your fingers |
| The priests flogged and conveyed against their thighs, moaning… |
| Should you attempt to shun and avoid the light, sadism stormed in |
| Abused, and dry you bled, your dreams in death stayed spawning |
| Wrath upon the Lord: the son and ghost your lust sees bleed |
| «Befoul the sabbath of light!» |
| Force them brightness the way you were forced |
| Force them the visions you suffered in death; |
| the timelessness since |
| Expel their god out from your flesh for demons to witness how |
| The revenant prays at his church |
| Sleepless one… Your corpse will house your wandering spirit |
| When the moon… Is waning gibbous, your remnant’s they shall dig: |
| Sunday dawn… A foul wind will clatter |
| The bones lay hidden within the church soil |
| Evil spirits turned away for centuries shall again be embraced |
| To host the cellars, crawl the estates |
| Join the risen for a sabbath of underworld |
| «Something's rotten…» the parish may say: |
| A morbid stench… The draught from cellars swiftly conveys |
| 'cross the halls… The light in the tunnel of darkness shall shed |
| To divulge the dead spread out at sacrament |
| …Befoul the sabbath |
| Falls a sea of light |
| This space and time |
| Absorbed by the laws of the other side; |
| Commence the christenings to the coven of revenant |
| The wafer and the wine, feces divine, poison healing |
| Reversed christenings — atone the sins by dying |
| Confessions of the flesh, intestines and fresh blood |
| Take one last goodly grasp through the icon glass — |
| The light will take you to god |
| Sheep of god… The light will take you |
| Sheep of god… The light will take you |
| Where you’re dreaming yet your soul’s awake |
| For endless nightmares to feed |
| Yearning, grief, hatred, true inner darkness |
| Shall be yours eternally |
| May your flesh, mind and soul linger for eternities |
| «Befoul the sabbath of light!» |
