The Eastern Plague had ravaged all countries With millions of souls since lost in its wake And Humanity had since became a new God Wiping each other off the face of the planet! Rejoice for we have finally supplanted Satan In causing such genocide even He did so shuddered All angels and demons now laid low and humbled Trembling in fear before this lab grown madness! Alas all the cards are already on the table The Tower, Justice and The Seven of Swords For we have dug up our graves too willingly too soon And now the Horsemen they come down a-striding! So load up your guns or hang down your noose For no hope or redemption shall avail but the damned And we came here as pests so we’ll die in that fashion Humanity comes undone of their own damned device!

“Tota vita mea quaesivi amorem alteris generis” “Quod nec deus nec diabolus me potest providere” “Tandem feci sic invenit, amor alius” “Amor alterius mortis, spes mors!” (All my life I’ve been searching for love of a different kind That neither God nor the Devil can provide me At last I did so finds it, the love of a different kind The love of a different death, the death of hope!) Curse of the Tree of Knowledge, your floral portal beckons Boon of the Tree Of Life, I lust for your deep curves Warm as the glowing Samum, cold as the wintry Jahim Godly wrath be damned! I will partake this vice! Skin to skin we lay, sweet Raihan graced our touch Sakinah flies playful, breathing in An-Nafs Till Jannah did we come, afloat like Muqarrabim Kabbalah played a tune, found Ufuq-Ul Adham Deus ex vagina Pulchra videre (beautiful to see) Deus ex vagina Suavis odoris (pleasant to savor)

It’s close at hand what I’ve foreseen The sickle moon now gone for the black And on this midnight end of summer You will regret you ever lived! The dark night of the soul is nigh The sweetest vengeance I craved since long Neither God nor His angels can save you now And famished demons sing your demise No winged grace can emancipate you There’s no redemption for your misdeeds! And on this altar all hope is lost This gleaming dagger’s the last you’ll see! Set me free from silent rage your heart now in my hands Sordid spells and incantations the Devil owns you now! Now you know not to mess with the one who’d see you bleed to death But alas you’re barely breathing as my Master feasts on you!

R’lyeh! R’lyeh! R’lyeh! And the pillars they glow in the moonless void A gilded throne, a Mad Arab walking, the path of ancient terror The seventy-two Demons Seals, still beckon the chosen From Irem to Mount Shashta, this journey never ends! Avail me cosmic secrets, the Dead But Dreaming quivers A brief moment of absolute darkness, is what I craved since long And somewhere underneath the ocean, or buried by ancient sands The way is shut but the Keeper lives, he waited for oblations Lemuria fell Atlantis sank, and yet the Old Ones still remember Recite the pages lost to ages, and be the witness of the Endtime! Azathoth the Daemon Sultan slumbers, from all the drumming and the flute The Goat Of A Thousand Young she dreams, the dark return of the Outer Gods! Now come profane the Book Of Zohar, the Talmud since reduced to ash! And Jesus trembles at the fact, Yog-Sothoth could part the gates again!

I’m the lie of lies, I’m the truth of truths I’m the one true way, I’m the things you crave I was with you when you’re born, the only certainty I was there when there’s no hope I’m closer than your god Who will come to save you when you’re only breathing pain? There’s nothing as comforting as watch you leave this world! The angels and the demons, they fear me all the same Now come and make a change, I will set you free Lovers will leave, friends will betray I will be there, I will comfort you Come take my hand, choose how it ends Then you will see a better place

“What lies through yonder window breaks? Whatever the moon did naught but to hope So here lies the crux of matters of the heart For the way of the dark is the way of the light!” Once in an age before the light There be a kingdom fed by blood Rooted in evil and paved with gold They lived forever in praise of sin They have mastered nefarious magicks But left when enlightenment came to stay Albeit they know that the light will never last So they left behind their means to return A tattered leather scroll with cryptic words And thirteen seals for the blood-red full moon Then they lay in wait for the purest of heart To come in the wake of the eastern plague He will curse the days so bereft of hope And dreams the return to better times They will then entice him with promises To utter these words and unleash the damned! “What lies through yonder window breaks? Whatever the moon did naught but to hope So here lies the crux of matters of the heart For the way of the dark is the way of the light!” And thus it begins again, the age of dark terror Humanity will drown, in floods of cruel immortals And Satan will laugh, as the light slowly fades Leaving God to weep, pathetically on His Throne…!

You come in peace, and you go in peace Now here be your place, among those enlightened You are no longer bound, manipulated, and ignored You are but home now, great brothers and sisters! Log in to receive His strength, log out with karma to burn Our True Master’s mind transcends, all bandwidths in cyberspace Come feel His healing touch, proclaim now your servitude! His wisdom and love abound, not many were left in the cold! He gave you freedom to be all you can be With just a bite from the Apple of Knowledge And you’re no longer bound to that uncaring God His Light is absent in the heart of the Dark Web! You come in peace, and you go in peace Now here be your place, among those enlightened You are no longer bound, manipulated, and ignored You are but home now, great brothers and sisters! Welcome Home! Welcome Home! Welcome Home…

I call upon the Lords of the Four Watch Towers And all the Seventy Two Demon Kings All hail Marduk and ancient gods of Babylon I invite thee to my circle one last time Forsooth I am tired of living without hope So here’s my final offerings for thee The scent of myrrh and sweet grass fill the air I mark my seven chakras with the pentagram Hear ye this be my last goodbye It’s been a blast serving thee But now it’s time I depart To become one with the dirt A slit on the left wrist for unrequited love A slit on the right for abusive childhood A sip of mercury for my dead end job And a bullet to the temple seals the deal Yes I know my death won’t change a thing But at least I am free from pain and sufferings And I’m one with my Beloved Master He was there and now he’s here with me! Curse you God or whatever you called yourself Curse you Muhammad, curse you Jesus and Moses Curse you heartless angels, you pompous aerial pests Curse you priests and ulamas, thrice be damned in hell!
