Lyrics The Odius Gospels - Mephorash

The Odius Gospels

Lo and behold — from self-aware to utterly nameless
To crowned and announced from a maggot-eaten tongue — a monument
Erected to death and despair on every plane of being
In the walls inbetween she walks like the hungry dead
Ophidian huntress of nightmares eternal
Rotten flesh among seeds of death, dominion over all
Devoured as man is made god among those eyeless
Sedition oh holy are the ways taken when man and beast are united!
A bleeding eye above and roots below alight
The firmaments of life sundered with fires born of slain infancy
In hoc signo vinces — a lustful god piercing heaven with horned brow!
In hoc signo vinces — a brass ox anointed in sea of tears!
Immaculate and glorious, rendered thrice blessed and elevated
The oldest pillar is cleansed in bitter waters
A hateful extension from venomous husks to immaculate naught
A bridge to holiest void and paradise perceived through blackest will
Within infected chthonic viscera, an unsung song once heard
Two horns made in the image of both life and death
The withered breath of azoth dried in a dessicated godhead
All centered upon the portculis of faith, those thirsting made witness
As I vomit upon the mithra, what remains are forever gone
And the deathly waters submerges the self completly
