the rite of our cross

satyricon’un 2003 tarihli now diabolical albümünden...


freedom, urge, faith - and deeper he falls
hatred, rage, fear - the stronger denial
anger, heat, lust - the higher he climbs
slave - the shackles are off
act - do it your way
horns - the abyss ascends

now gather the earth
it’s the coming of the dark lord
all tribes unite
this is the rite of our cross

viewing, judging, killing - a formula known
fading, paling, rotting - a story too old
wielding, might, just - now throw me the fight
glowing, thriving, winning - the truth will be told
