lyrics

“I glimpse in the darkness
God without a throne,
shadows swirling beside Him
in a kingdom of sand and stone.
The shadows they quiver with malice,
[refusing] the touch of the light.
What is it that lurks on
the desert air tonight?”

His wretched breath, graveolent exhaust
to enmire the Christ in noxious froth,
seething ‘tween the teeth whose gnawing inspired Dante’s awe.

Scaled in hematitic pride
for the Deity his heart defied,
wearing Hell’s grotesqueries from hoof to sable eye.

This archetypical misanthrope
skulks his once-angelic bulk
to God swathed in a threadbare cloak…

Creation recoils from his presence.
Light shines not upon his frame.
Nature bays its terror:
“Anathema! Corrosion incarnate!”

[Satan]
“Nazarene…
bow down thy brow
to me.
Nazarene…
all I shall give
to thee.”

Sweet and honey-viscous this reprisal of deceit,
the serpent emerged from Eden’s curse to strike messianic feet,
but for his thrice-plied sirenical guile this slavering drake receives

…a double-edged-sword glossectomy.

[Christ]
“Satan! Get thee from me!
Worship God only…”

Thus Heaven, seraphim-tongued,
threads space with bipolar songs,
both joy and lament; the Saviour, the serpent
rent from their benedight throng…

LuciPhilosophaster!
