Fifth

There is no god where i am
the sorrow of pain and regret
are left to the dead and dying
caressed by magnificent beasts

I am the snake
i am alone

Then there is rapture on earth
and i and the earth are one
there is great danger in me
in the day of your wrath

I am the snake
i am alone

Praise the whore
for her power`s divine
raise the dead

From the vaults of despair
heir to the throne

Ancestors from the past
archangel`s last command

You see to die is at hand

Out of the dark depths of hell my armies arise
the eternal quest for the empire`s crown has begun

The serpent flame therein
my colour is black to the blind
i who am all pleasure and purple
and her eyes shall burn with desire

I am life
giver of live

L et the light devour men
eat them up with blindness
on the low men trample
in the fierce lust of the pride

I am the snake
i am alone

Praise the whore

For her power`s divine
raise the dead

From the vaults of despair
heir to the throne

Ancestors from the past
archangel`s last command

You see to die is at hand

I am the master of fear
thou art the holy chosen one
now let it be first understood
i am a god

I am the snake
i am alone

In my secret temple
i am the daughter of sunset
i am the naked nightsky
arouse the cold splendour within

Praise the whore

For her power`s divine
raise the dead

From the vaults of despair
heir to the throne

Ancestors from the past
archangel`s last command

You see to die is at hand

Out of the dark depths of hell my armies arise
the eternal quest for the empire`s crown has begun
