Bal-Sagoth - Beneath The Crimson Vaults Of Cydonia Lyrics

Ruminations from the six pyramids 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 liquefied 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
