Threefold Harrowing of Hell

from Diablerie by Mortuus

/

lyrics

an icon of doubt was centered upon the altar
can you recall how you adored the nails in his feet?
how you bowed and kneeled in reverence before the hangman when god was dangling lifeless from the taut rope?
spadefuls of soil were fed to throats athirst for life
and deep into the black earth we sank

the sword of upheaval cut open the throat of Imanu'el
a breach in the structures of reason
at the first light of the black sun
I can recall how we soaked ourselves in ecstasy
dancing to the sound of blood
making its way through the dirt below
determined to alter the stream, we poured poison into the past disrupting the roots of fate, numbing the tongue of god

the shield of glass was quietly trembling
soon to be shattered into null
the frail timbre of a rusting world
is the prelude to Saṃsāra's end

where three roads met, a light flickered in the liminal
we inhaled the soot, drunk on thick brimstone
in the numinous horror, the austere man appeared
answering to that illicit prayer with a key to the deep abyss
an unusual fluid soaked the penal bond
written with blood in lieu of a seal
