God cursed my vile obscenity - and cast this wretched pox on meThus to annul my blasphemy - must I endure hell's purgatoryThis plea I proffer unto thee - O mentor of my destinyI beg thy blackened soul - to take this wretch within thy clemencyFrom barren realms of morbid fear - this foul tempestuous cross to bearO Satan I beseech thee to have mercy on my soulEven as I speak marasmus eats my flesh as I resign myselfTo suffer sinners sentence of eternal scorching flameWracked with pain I crawl away to find some stinking holeTo vainly pray for succor to my weary vanquished soulSatan I bow to the devil - Satan I crawl to the devilAll at once through acrid smoke I peer, terror grips my heartMesmerized, I fawn before the evil prince of darknessPutrid pus seeps from my eyes, the sulphur burns my fleshWhere art thou Lucifer? What must I do to end this living death?Assuming shape of goatlike man the tempter stands before meAnd speaking slowly, summons wretched sinners seeking sanctuary"Your blasphemy will be undone the day you hail the darkest one"De profundis clamavi ad te Domine, Domine exaudi vocem meamQuia apud Dominum misericordia, Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui sanctoUoyk cuf dnayna pmoc ruoyk cufwo nemtak oolt sujtu bsde erbflahg nik cufoySongtexteRevoem dek cufuoy nehtefil ymmor fsrae yneeth gieko o tuoy revir dikkin ecnerwalMloclam njip iptreb nos ggyr tgise nra jbek ctred sevy stred sred nely noh tnaFor selling my divinity a blackened angel I shall beAnd never more must I endureHell's wrath - hell's fire - hell's curse - hell sentHell's toll - hell bells - hell raise - hell bentHell's gates - hell's woe - hell's wrath - hells endThus he annulled my blasphemy And scoured the plague of plagues from meInnocently I believed that I possessed immunity Then bitter truth did dawn on me That I must spend eternityIn hades (not in penance) but in base servility Aus Songtexte Mania
