Alone against the absurd god

Satan I evoke you
Accept my sacrifice
In the name of darkness
I embrace all vice

As long as I remember
My essence was unclean
I dedicate to you
My flesh and all my deeds

The demon that unrests
Within my heart resides
Through which it channels hell
And all the hated arts

The lust of all the world
Is never satisfied
Within my heart it lies
Within my heart it lies

An inkwell sunk into
A cup of wasted tears
See youthful glee
Be marred with
Cold Cynicism and Hate

The angel's weeping falls
Upon unhearing ears
Here light and truth are dead
And Christ is long denied

Here, reigns a funeral darkness
And in its gloom burns my wicked soul
The journeys of the desert fathers
Were solitary and so am I alone

Under the stars and the full moon
I wonder why I am yet enthralled
The wickedness of the flawed world
I am alone against the absurd god

The Lord's silence to man's prayers flaunts
his indifference to us
For he denied respite to even Christ
his son and messenger
The Lord is evil
And his word is scorn
His kingdom is a lie
And there is no paradise

The hopeless trickle of the life within
The artificial shadow of the steeple
Brings sadness and a will to die
But it gets better with a sip of wine

Here reigns a funeral darkness
And in its gloom I bear my torch
I turn and start upon unknown paths
The moon shines bright in the sky above

My light recedes and is soon unseen
I am alone against the absurd god.
