For aeons has the hubris of man Risen up as a foul stench Offensive in the nostrils of the gods Before the aweful thrones of eternity A ghastly multitude of haggard spectres Countless victims of the vast crimes of humanity Have gathered around the gates of the underworld Entreating for retribution The filth and corruption Of the sins of all mankind Enshrouding our skies with an impervious evil The impeccable stars Deny their luminescence unto the wicked The immaculate stars are revolted From the vile rites our homage pays We have become the shame of our creators Disavowed, disowned, renounced The gods have turned away in disgust We who have dared to ape the grandeur Of the great company of the gods Striving vainly at rivalship With they who hold the universe in chains Songtexte Sekhmet whose fierce eye is the burning sun From whose mouth bursts forth cataracts of fire Laments not for our fate When finally the aged Ra repents of his failed creations Exhausting his core Violently igniting in agonizing death throes Consuming our barren and scorched earth In a blinding flash of incandescence We who dared to covet the immortality of the gods Envious of their dominion over the cosmos It availeth us naught The imperishable stars are sickened They shun and despise the perverse abomination That is humankind They shun and despise the perverse abomination That is humankind Aus Songtexte Mania
