Babylon Whores Deggael Lyrics
1.A Rat's God

I took my fire upon a mountain
To mock all truth that flatters men
And I damned all hope
That tomorrow shows
For I cursed all life there is
As screaming ghosts
No heaven knows
And I want to be high as the suns that shine
All the time
I took my fire upon a mountain
To sift through thoughts of all beasts and men
And I purged the gold thru which the world shall end
For I courted the Dragon
Yeah that old serpent
And I got to be high as the suns that shine
All the time
And all of thee
Shall be drunk of me
Oh yes you will
I think Im
Deggael


2.Emerald Green

Darling
There is an angel
To teach you see
With the eyes of Emerald Green
For darling
All love is witchery
Godforsaken deviltry
To draw our blood for all world to drink
And love will come
And love will go
Oh suffer not a wish to live
For you cant follow
Darling
There is an angel
To teach you wisdom of all Heaven
The pride of all Hell
For darling
All knowledge comes with pain
And things are still the same
No matter what their name
And if nothing is true
More or less
The only truth must be
Nothingness
(The call of the 2nd & 3rd Aethyr by Fr. Perdurabo)
Darling
Be sure of the Devil
Be wary of knots
Tied as a ladder
Under a hill
For darling
There is an angel
To teach you see
With the eyes of Emerald Green


3.Omega Therion

For want of an angel
For all the lead that you thought you turned gold
There is something you still want to know
Il Penseroso led you astray
To the woods and the wild
The pathless way
And you followed the trail that Shelley fared
Gazed on dead kings with your sullen despair
Even the Dome of the Rock in Blakes city
Bore no trace of St. Augustine
And you studied Plotinus
Thrice great Trismegistos
Knew the reign of Hister and Niebelung
Nietzsche, Vril und Gotterdammerung
Do you want an angel
Heaven clad as the stars fell
Do you want an angel
Poison of god to make it well
For want of an angel
For all the blood that you turned into ink
You found yourself still searching
A heosphoros for a golden dawn
A scarlet sunrise for Babalon
Someone to stop all the watches now
Someone to bring this shithouse down
All things must have an end
All things to all men
Forget the tuesday baby
Let it be a doomsday baby
Come on and suck a megaton
Omega Therion
Oh it is time
Unbind the lines of horizon
Omega Therion
Take you away


4.Sol Niger

Under the sea
Dead cities in the dark
Dreaming themselves to be
Alive once more
And in darkened rooms
As vaulted tombs we hear them call
As sea devours land
Towers yield to the sand
Oh shine on Black Sun upon all Carthage
As a disease on all fours risen from sea
Yea shine on Black Sun upon all Carthage
And that which never was shall always be
And I would see the world revolve
Around the crosses tips
Fleeing the sun
The vulture
Swooping down on a carrion
Laughing into the nothingness
That we flee
In mortal fear
Oh shine on Black Sun upon all Carthage
As a disease on all fours risen from sea
Yea shine on Black Sun upon all Carthage
And that which never was shall always be
And what is eternity
But a shoreless sea
One eternal day
That sees us come
And move away


5.Somniferum

Down on the street
The night is a whore for dreams of fools
Where things of old still turn to gold
In hands of ghouls
Oh I would castrate you a choir of the damned
To sing you songs of love
Of kisses cursed by the dog star
And when the summer turns to fall Id stay with you
Watching the leaves turn gold and grey outside your room
For here is juice of poppy bruised
With hemlock black and poisonous infused
Yea life is a witch
And then you fly
Somniferum
Down on the street
The neon spells out my true love
How I fell for her kisses cold
On my skin as a tip of steel
Led by the angels white
Through gravestones blank and clean
On thru the pastures of green
Id be all things that might have been
And where the angels fear to tread Id walk with you
For there is nothing that can harm a love thats true
For here is juice of poppy bruised
With hemlock black and poisonous infused
Yea life is a witch
And then you fly
Somniferum
And death is not black
But snow white as charms
Treasured out of sight
Untouched by the august sun
Unto which all life must be undone
Oh in the end
Love, dream and death are one again
