“Imprisoned with the Pharohs” brought a smile of recompense
- to ask what abnormality the Sphinx did represent
and mystery of mysteries one now I had to know
Oh Abaddon, dear Abaddon of this can you make sense?
Our gate's now closed to you old friend did Abaddon reply
you have no soul to comfort us, nor ladders to ascend
and bear a geas before which neither Time or Death will stand
abomination, cursed priest who causes gods to die
Though fallen from my altar while your kind was heaven sent
with angels fallen... seems as though some kinship I can share
so tarry with me for a while, a thousand years or so
one night of woeful countenance is one that's poorly spent
Would you forever wait your doom relaxing at my maw?
once mighty king who now portrays a jester in the night
to linger here you seek to numb the agony proscribed?
“hell hath no fury...” truly said, damned mouse under a paw
Hell hath no fury keen to match the fates which I have drawn
sufficient not abyssal fire through time to match my crime
but Felex, meaning “lucky one” is what they call my name
and fates will play right up until the final dreaded dawn
What would you know then? Ask away, we've played this game before
old sorcerer of ages who did pull the whiskers out
and left your face instead of hers to greet the morning sun
while even angels cowered and shook before the scarlet whore
A single name I'm asking for, the one I never knew
my others loved and served in spite of all the awe and fear
all goddesses of life and death who give to take away
just breaking hearts and minds and souls of men is what they play
The one you missed you now ask for? A poorly planned demise
now tired and broken back you've come to stroke the demon's mane
and ask the name of one you love that you might kill again
river of blood that fills the sea! from you it's no surprise
Their fire defines a vessel made of water, wind and clay
to gather dreams from worshipers of their own heaven's gate
all blood and death is useless towards a goddess to ascribe
they animate to serve the day, then break to steal away
Her avatar has left her star and swiftly comes to seek
her priest to lead the fodder in this story of the daughter
still addicted, once again you're doomed to fall down on your knees
the drunken orgy reprobate in service you will reek
I'm captured in a maelstrom 'twixt the holy and profane
I know it reads forever All for One and One for All
am I to blame if service always brings me to extremes?
I've serviced one and serviced all regardless of the pain
Destroyer I am called and yet to you I take a bow
once more you bid me lift her veil to show you what you know?
Necrosis when she bedded you did surely rot your mind
thou priest who leads the worship of the ancient holy cow
Oh Abbadon most gracious help to rid me of this bain
the terror of all creation when her blood-lust comes to call
when life or death means nothing nor the wail that will prevail
Oh Abbadon this sybil's game this time you must refrain
Do gods make man or man make gods there lies a sweet detail
eternal wheels are turning and you're just another cog
seeking what the Turk does know but then the Greek did slaughter
but knowing even this against the bitch you'll not prevail
But I have served the Holy Ones most equally you know
some balance might be found against the witches I did drown
and those that burned with righteous flair, as Pope I was most fair
to you delivered, demon now remember what you owe
What's left is last which was the first, all glory to revive
of crystal mountains magically Atlantis shall arise
once more the throne of she who comes to chase away the night
the name you seek, I dare not speak, the one who does survive
Eons have passed of whom you speak, before even my time
ten thousand years perhaps now as best that I can guess
the beginning now approaching is the was and is the is
most worthy Abaddon my friend and partner in my crime
Damascus melds together both the brittle and the strong
from thousand names to nameless owe their glory to the blameless
all founded in the crucible of that which is immutable
the All in One and One in All who yields both right and wrong
