lyrics

Horrid cultists dancing round the flame
Serpentine figures flicker and disappear
Incantations, masturbation on the cobra's corpse
Spurred to life by their blasphemous seed

In Your Name We Pray, O Snake!

A foul wind blows, the flame goes out
Anticipation of the savior now
Slither and slime, unholy rhyme
Greet the arrival of the scaly one
Bow before me, And you will see
Acknowledgement of your services
A lightning strike, venomous bite
This is the mark you'll bear

The venom runs through my bloodstream
Finally freezing out my brain
The serpent god's kiss, ending me here
On these unholy damned sands
Coiled 'round the world
My sacrifice shall see it come to pass
Coiled 'round the world
The serpent's tail slowly constricting
Alive, day breaks
Half man, half snake
We procreate
13 Years astray, yeah

On the same spot where we summoned him
Abomination's army gathered now
13 Year pilgrimage now at an end
Our scaly brood, ready to invade

Praise thee, Serpent God!
Praise thee, Father Set!
Praise thee, O Dendar!
Praise thee, Lord Typhon!

I am the poison that runs through the veins of the world
I am the drought of its rivers
The asphyxiation of its free winds
I am the brittle decay of its bones
I am the falling stars
I am the end of the world
