Behemoth Xul
( music and lyrics by Nergal )
the son ov morn
what made me so divine?
I, transcending ecstasy through ecstasy
I who am eternally defined by my Will
lead: Seth
behold I am the spawn of downcast Ariman
awakened, yet am no longer human
kindle me to Thy rapture
as I descend into Sheol
Hiva! hear my call!
transform my flesh into flame
Hiya! hear my cry!
sustain my being in million-fold forms
background lead: Nergal
our creed: the living flesh
our law: trespass all the laws
since NUIT is our refuge
and HADIT becomes our light
lead: Nergal
all stirs within
tis chaos in and above me
In the world ov nether-nether
"I" infinite space is all-consuming
behold! I am unending!
the consciousness ov "I" shines universally
unbound by wretched dogma
I spew my will forth!
hell is democracy!
background lead: Nergal
all things exist in me
I believe in naught save myself
my sermon steadfast and proud:
there is nothing but god in me!
all things stir in me
with joy and suffering
my sermon steadfast and proud:
there is nothing but god in me!
lead: Karl Sanders
