Lurking in the shade
Of dark and fragrant trees
Shirking from the rage
That tore the heavens freeA vagrant angel
His with span to see
The garden swell with terrors
To banish man and EveAnother fall from grace
Whiplashed from the gates
Half naked and insane
Full blooded, breasted
Nerve ends tested
To behests of painA sombre lot to gainAs the storm slid in
Borne by carnal winds
The upper ether thinned
And therein sat abominationsSatan seated there
To savoring the reek of desolation
But their dank despair
Moved his speech to leech the air"Behold the golden door
Paradise is lost
So praise me as you raised your Lord
And I shall thaw this gnawing frost"Another fall from grace
Whiplashed from the gates
Half naked and insane
And destined for a spiteful fateWherein evil sought the shamed
As pawns in greater stakes
Across this cosmic game
To win the hand of darkness and
Set her in her rightful placeCursed is the ground for thy sake
In sorrow thou shalt eat of it all the days of thy life
Thorns also and thistles shall bring it forth to thee
And thou shalt eat the herb of the fieldIn the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread
Till thou return unto the ground
For out of it was thou taken
For dust thou art and unto dust shalt thou now returnWith that the pact was sealed
And as creation reeled
Bewitched oration filled
The hearts of all
Who came to crawl
Upon these earthen fieldsA sombre lot to tillA wracked black acid song
Spat from the massive throng
Of Seraph knelt along
The deep red welt to dominationThe deep red welt to domination
(Domination, domination, domination)
The deep red welt to domination
(Domination)
The deep red welt to domination
