In Praise of Satan

IN PRAISE OF SATAN
The mighty Beast unleashes wrath
For we do not sing unto Him
A Scandinavian obsession
But we share it not
Tempting as it is on occasion
We've spilled no Christian blood
In praise of Satan
Burn Christ in effigy, or something
In praise of Satan
Sarcastic blasphemy
We're totally phoning it in
Cuz we just want You off our back
We come before Thee insincere
See it in our eyes
Be proud of our diabolic ways
For we beseech Thee with lies
In praise of Satan
Empty words flow from me
In praise of Satan
A mockery of Thee
There's nothing really more to try
It's all been done
At least you and all chthonic gods
Made black metal fun
In praise of Satan
For being so inspiring
In praise of Satan
Finally we sing for You

Ikke vær så alvorlig
In the cold and frosty waste, far north of Norway (lengst nord i Norge)
Santa's elves outdo all Vikings in playing speed and sheer brutality
Put to shame by fucking elves
Is it Santa or Satan?
Far be it from me to try to figure out from whence comes your sense of superiority
With your mashup of the pantheons
Satan and Odin are one
The Father is His opposite?
Pardon me, but it doesn't make sense
Your völkisch bullshit is betrayed by the fact that y'all don't fucking care about your own
Corpse paint brings power!
The power to take pictures when you find the suicide of some alleged friend
If it's so fucking metal, you should have done it first!
Corpse paint brings power!
The power to burn churches
And to be a douchebag and get murdered on the stairs
By one you tried to mentor, and now the kids all think he's great
When you use lipstick and makeup remover on a regular basis, how much of a badass can you be?
In a world tuned down to F#, you're grinding high, octaves away.
Crank the treble!
Spit out screeches, use keyboards, go on all day
I doubt the dark forest appreciates all this racket
With the coming of Ragnarök
Or is it Germanic Armageddon?
A whole lot of nothing shall pass, like Y2K
Satan says learn to fucking laugh at yourselves
(Ikke vær så alvorlig. Le av deg selv.)

I AM THE ONE, AS FORETOLD
I sit in darkness and stench, a lighter in my right hand
Boils the crystals in the glass, suck vapors from the other end
Now I'm back on my task, appointed demon of wrath
Offering blood to the Beast
He chose me from all you wretched scum
He chose me
I am The One, as foretold
Your stupid lives, your stupid selves
I will sacrifice to Hell
Your eyes cannot see my true glory
Oh when will you see the light?
My power is true, I can seal your doom
I wait for my time to strike
Another victim for my altar
Defenseless, innocent and oh so pure of mind
With every scream, with every chant, with every drop of blood spilled
I come ever closer to my aim
To honorably discharge my duties to the Beast
To finally be anointed at His left hand
To desecrate all mankind's temples to losers
To become my own God
I feel the surging
Miracles now I create
I shall not be denied
I have been branded with The Sign
I control the flow of time
(orbit of planets, control is mine)
I have crossed the blurry line between here and forever
I know the shadows beyond the gates
They promise me everything and more once I finish you all off
Now to dispose of the body
Can barely stay awake; must have slept the past three days
I feel like total shit; I've been abandoned by the Dark Lord
Oh so desolate inside
My prayers unanswered; no more supply
It would be better to die
Need one fucking hit, one breath of life
To return Satan to my mind
Your eyes cannot see my true glory
Oh when will you see the light?
My power is true, I can seal your doom
I wait for my time to strike
Your eyes cannot see my true glory
You never will see my light

ANGELS OF THE SEVENTH DAWN
We all take flight by the light of the morn.
We shall destroy all those who bear the Mark of the Beast
Vestments of white gather around us
As we doth fly through realms of eternity
Like Gabriel, I taketh my trumpet to blow
My minions doth grind, and screech, and blast to excess
What of Jörmangandr? Or Mithras and his sacred bull?
We eat your mythologies then we shit out this mess
In crucibles of the firmament sky
We shall alloy all the powers that will ever be
When comes the light of the dawn and our unicorns awake
Then we shall wrest control of the everlasting
Rising past Saturday, angels of the seventh dawn
Meeting our enemies just guarantees that they'll fall
So what of God, his Son, demons or their spawn?
If Allah wills it, by Shiva, we'll destroy them all
At the sound of the trumpet blasts, we will launch the attack
You'll see the blazing fury in our eyes, and feel our ruthlessness
The order to slay will bring forth Valhalla's warriors
Once more will Naglfar sail the seas, once occurs the awaited arrival of Satan
Flexing muscles till they snap
Clenching teeth until they crack
We are ready
It's come -- Ragnarök
The final battle for all
Divisions in place
Sharpening my blade
Sacrifice made
Eternal debt repaid
Total fucking holocaust
Terminating, annihilating, blowing to pieces and ripping to shreds
No language contains the words to describe how brutal this is
As we explore a now desolate creation
We cannot help but think of what we've achieved
For we have kept the Sabbath day holy
Purified of all else existing
Oh holy shit, it wasn't supposed to go this far
None alive remain
A planet laid to waste
Flattened cities, barren plains
All afterlives are smoking fucking wreckage
But the underworlds persist
And darkness engulfs the Earth

Two decades of stupid insanity and metal. Any metal. You can't tell us what to do. Enjoy it. Or not. We don't care.
