All hope in eclipse   A thousand nights one succoured me   In the shadow of miss anne thropy-   Sat gargoyle-limbed amid my licking flame      A cruel tongue at work in her secret vaults   Sent rebellion's embers into revolt   The coming of extinction   Synched to whimpers of my name...      Legion I arose, a flood of inhumanity   An acid reign to purify the world   The asp at pharaoh's breast   The atom split under duress   A sniper at the gates of spattered pearl      My heart, torn apart, left a rifled grave...   Save for an unfurled flag of hate   To enthral a mindless zombie race      All heil, all heil, all heil the serpentine's gift   All heil, love fails, all hope lies in eclipse      Black bibles I inscribed,   The words "damnation throughout design"   Seemed a bitter truth far better for the lie   For as hope was felled by reason   Forlorn became the season   And death was swift to swallow on the heels of life      Loered souls, growing cold, tendered easy prey   When heaven's flock, a fair game, dropped   I bored of war with god with greater thrones to   Claim...      All heil, all heil, all heil the libertine's wish   All heil, love fails, all hope lies in eclipse      (There was not a prayer left in this wretched world)      Then between the past and the ravening dark   A sly messiah came   In the thick of treaty with obligatory greed   She stole the soul hate had sold away      An ancient chill blew down the centuries   That night atonement’s eyes   Lit a burning man in me      When love lay bleeding   And fates safe feeding   From wounds gored 'neath   Those cherubic wings   She of kindred light   Gladly sacrificed   Eternity   Just to be   With me      As the moon who’s silvered fingers play   On words and dreams too cursed for day   She led my hand to lands I’d not accrued   Where the faun dawn bathed her golden hair   And faith renewed, leapt joyous there   I praised their worth, then planned their conquest   Too...      All heil, all heil, all heil the serpentine's gift   All heil, love fails, all hope lies in eclipse      All heil, all heil, all heil the libertine's wish   All heil, love fails, all hope lies in eclipse   ... And ignorance is truly bliss
