Destroy He is the shadow of death So take your final breath Points fingers as accuser Breaks souls to make you serve Destroying all defenses Removing consequences Samael, bane of all Summoned to bring our fall Samael, pestilence Won’t spare the blood of the innocent Kabbalah has slandered Him to be a servant unto God Rain fire on sinners Undeserving of life given to them Chosen by archangels To bear the sword of Samael And God I’m a god in the making Souls are mine for the taking I am the left hand path Venom, severity, and wrath In fear with folded fingers You'll break your hands in prayer "O god above command" You never fall in my hands Samael, pestilence Won’t spare the blood of the innocent Kabbalah has slandered Him to be a servant unto God Rain fire on sinners Undeserving of life given to them Chosen by archangels To bear the sword of Samael I sow the seeds of sin The reaper of the soul from skin Seducer and accuser Your master and abuser Eternity shall witness This persistence of cyclical sickness Dominus Divinus Rex sum ego aut angelus Potius imperare apud inferos Quam serve in caelum Et regnabit Dominus Ego tibi coronam Samael, pestilence Won’t spare the blood of the innocent Kabbalah has slandered Him to be a servant unto God Rain fire on sinners Undeserving of life given to them Chosen by archangels To bear the sword of Samael Samael, pestilence Won’t spare the blood of the innocent Chosen by archangels To bear the sword of Samael

Cloaked in the shadows, I am one with the night Stalking, lurking in the fog between the lamppost light I see my victim cascade down the cobblestone Foolish harlot, you've been told don't come this way alone The tales you have heard of the ones that disappear The countless warnings you've ignored will fall upon dead ears Your pace begins to hasten With each tolling of the bell The phantom of death has appeared To send you straight to hell You will not survive this night Just as the ether kicks in The last thing that you see my lascivious grin You feel your body drop down to the ground I'll take you to a place where you'll never be found You’ll soon be strapped to the chair Don't try to resist, you’ll only cut your wrists Wrought with despair The panic’s setting in; it glistens off your skin Tighten the screws that hold your body tight for my sadistic night Naught left to lose Another nameless whore Bows to the Lacerator! And by the gleam of my knife I will lacerate I am the king of the blade All of your sins from your skin I will lacerate I’ll leave you stripped, bled and flayed Slice into your larynx so that even your god cannot hear you scream Pushing the knife deeper in My hilt and hand entangle within intestine Slicing sanguinary, serenade Drawing out my hand with your heart on my blade I’ll then be culling the herd Surgically precise, my mirrored stainless vice Chopped and quartered Sinewed strands of life Sloughing off my knife Packed and sealed within A suitcase dripping sin Upon a creaky stair A slither from the lair Down the alleyways Through grime and sluts and strays I’ll dump you in the Thames I live to stalk at night The moon and fairy lights Will guide me to the prey A stain to cleanse away Her perfect skin was made To taste my thirsting blade I plunge and whisper “Bow to the Lacerator” And by the gleam of my knife I will lacerate I am the king of the blade All of your sins from your skin I will lacerate I’ll leave you stripped, bled, and flayed I leave my claim on the district of Whitechapel These slums will be my domain The phantom of death cuts precise like a steel scalpel Torn harlot flesh t’what remains

Set fire to this life and watch me fade away Choke down the smoke and suffocate From the fire I am watching you suffering Nobody knows or nobody cares Either way it's the same thing The secret is safe My mind is paralyzed by fear and hatred Inside a coward is growing I despise Reflection unrecognized Nothing's changing Just aging Nobody knows or nobody cares Either way it's the same thing I'm getting away with it Facing the life I wish I could create In the shadow of what should be my greatest strength Why try and realign What's left to rectify Can I be stronger than suicide? Something inside Must die If I am to survive If I'm the only one who sees this My facade has become my god

Go into the light Follow the moon as your guide Onto the dawn Or through to your doom Die or survive, move without compromise Fight or flight consume The wolves are teaching the sheep to feast Raped and reformed into a new beast Hunger weaponized, a mouthful of knives Stalking their prey moving silently Into the night Abysmal and bleak The search for purpose: belief That will lead to where the light has not been The surface exhausted once again The wolves are teaching the sheep to feast Raped and reformed into a new beast Hunger weaponized, a mouthful of knives Stalking their prey moving silently, rise Against opposition disguised as two sides Fury and fear wait to eat you alive Foster the flame of enlightenment Washing away what was permanent At the bottom of hell In myself, my cell left with only voices This hidden ego, id, and echo I know Only this dead ache is keeping me awake Myself and I What is it that divides us? I'm standing frozen on my own Cocytus Whipped clean of skin by wind, beaten beyond numb My soul is searching for something to become Lay down this life without looking back and run Run Running through the blood away from what was A shrine made of mud hardened by the sun Fragile citizen, bow, obsidian Your soul to the sin Hail oblivion and welcome the graves Embrace or be saved by flames and the waves Destruction ablaze Praying hurricanes will take it away Erode the remains Destroy to regain Reclaimed by the earth Baptized in the dirt Find worth in the hurt A deathless rebirth Summoned like a storm Swallowed by the swarm Of clouds shaped in scorn Reformed and reborn All that I feel, I need All that I need, I know All that I know, I love All that I love, I own All that I own, I hold All that I hold, I've thrown All that I've thrown away All of these wasted days Follow the chosen path Into the aftermath Out of the grasp of wrath Out of a dying past [x2] Waiting for water to come from the sky To come from the eye Like a tidal wave, rise Against opposition disguised as two sides Fury and fear wait to eat you alive Foster the flame of enlightenment Washing away what was permanent
