Abraxas Lyrics
Eros and Thanatos are branches on the same old tree
Rooted in the soil of shadow and light
If God was separated from the dark twin, the devil
Could He ever know the soul of mankind?We want a new God called Abraxas
Enter the Pleroma and see that nothingless is all
And you must destroy a world to be born
Alpha and Omega are the beginning and the endUnited in the shape of Abraxas
Darkness and the light
Sermones ad Mortous, empty fullness
Abraxas, your words is a riddle to be solvedYou bear the mark of Cain and you are fighting like a bird
To free you from the egg, the egg is all the world
The Sermon to the Dead a gospel to another life
Hear the words of Cain, the sinner and the saintThe grave is a flower and you are dying to be born
Baptized by fire and you will slough your skin
The sign of Abraxas the circle of the solar year
Deep in the winter you'll see the sun be born
