Greet me, holiest corpse!
I, your living admirer
Here, the sword in my hand
Key to the kingdom of Heaven
Accept this edge in your flesh
Hue the weight off your spirit
Trim the fat from your death
Give me your head!
Split the skull, break the mind
Reach inside, tear a hole
Stomach spread, sprawling soul
Split the joint, hack the bone
Bathe in the blood of this monument!
Unhindered, the head is your chariot!
Behold, the Keys to the Craft
The golden vision risen
The Torment of the Metals has come
The eyes all-seeing, the tongue dumb
Bejeweled the blood-spattered sand
Grown thick, grown sacred
Behold, the Keys to the Craft
Oh, worship you men of the blasphemous whole!
Split the skull, break the mind
Reach inside, tear a hole
Stomach spread, sprawling soul
Split the joint, hack the bone
Bathe in the blood of this monument!
Unhindered, the head is your chariot!
Swallow the terror
Don’t pray for the martyr
At one with the goddess
He holds life forever
Limbs and intestines
Sapped of their nectar
Come, severed brother
Embrace life forever
The body
Unholy
An envoy
A chariot of saviors to come
Made sacred by being undone
Split the skull, break the mind
Reach inside, tear a hole
Stomach spread, sprawling soul
Split the joint, hack the bone
Bathe in the blood of this monument!
Unhindered, the head is your chariot!
