Beast Of Extermination lyrics

"Kill a man and you are a murderer.

Kill millions of men and you are a conqueror.

Kill everyone and you are a God."

[Jean Rostard (1955)]

Born of the best of enemies

Beyond the pearly constellations

Wherein heaven has no embassy

And hope no surly grip on reason

Yahweh: frankincense

Satan; gold and murder

He is sly, bejewelled with sylph

Slick limbs spread wide to guide you through the filth

And rust

Crawl to him fuelled by lust

He's the horned one in the pentagram

A waste of chaos by the gram

Dark eyes for trouble, double damned

Despair

The storm upon lake Lacrymose

Restless. never comatose

The thorn upon the single rose

We share...

Germination

His a renegade a Capella now obeyed

A shitstorm without warning

The pleasuit King In Yellow on parade

Son of the thunderous morning

Yahweh: frankincense

Satan: gold and murder

He is high. inured with vice

The tower-cree er on our edelweiss

Career

A foreign power cut of utter fear

Taught curiosity, he s atrocity. banned

The taste of chaos by the dram

A tortured course like slaughtered lamb

Best rare

The curse that haunts this thirsting tomb

Disturbed, becomes the worst of doom

Rehearsing all his worth for soon

He's there...

Extermination

He is hatred. greed and war

He is everything we ought abhor

Were it not for the fateful truth

Be sure

We suffer him all the more

And lo! his tyrant's eye

Is fixed upon our rich and vibrant sky

Now hear the wind

Herald desolation

As on that eve when angels clad

In nothing but their whispered virtues

Slipped into the valley

Of the dirty serpentine

Hes the horned one in the pentagram

A waste of chaos by the gram

Dark eyes for trouble, double damned

Despair

The storm upon lake Lacrymose

Restless, never comatose

The thorn u on the single rose

we share...

Desperation

Disdainful. he self-deprecates

The mirror's jagged stare

And it's painful how we subjugate

The grinning face reflected in there

Yahweh: frankincense

Satan; gold and murder
