Synagoga Satanae
[Verse 1]
Internalized conflict externalized as war
Hymning thy rebellion, Lucifer, morning star
Bringer of light, forever shrouded by night
I am hell, a sulphurous lake of fire and suffering
[Pre-Chorus]
My blackened heart is a
Writhing mass of poisonous snakes
Grotesquely slithering, as I
Slowly shed my dying skin
[Chorus]
In darkness
Thou shalt come unto me
In darkness
Thou shalt worship me
In darkness
Thou art mine eternally
[Refrain]
Thy curse
All of my lies
Be blessed
Lord of the flies
Scapegoat
Shunned and despised
My church is my sacrifice
[Verse 2]
Follow after me
Into the halls of my damnation
I wield death like a scythe
Reaping annihilation
[Refrain]
A monarch
Enthroned upon my throne of guilt
I am hell
A barren shrine to decay and neglect
[Verse 3]
Uninhabitable, the darkened depths
Of cold, empty space
My necropolis: the catacombs
And tombs of disease
[Pre-Chorus]
Monumental, the fallen temple
Of dead deities
My necrolog, an eternal curse
Lost in the abyss
[Chorus]
In darkness
Thou shalt come unto me
In darkness
Thou shalt worship me
In darkness
Thou art mine eternally
[Bridge]
Rise
Synagoga Satanae
Lies
Lucifuge Rofocale
Rise
Synagoga Satanae
Lies
Lucifuge Rofocale
Absoluter Höllenzwang
Mein infernaler Opfergang
Ein auferstanden Ungetier
Festgenagelt tief in mir
[Spoken Bridge]
Et vidi de mare bestiam ascendentem
Habentem capita septem et cornua decem
Et super cornua eius decem diademata
Et super capita eius nomina blasphemiae
Ich allein bin mein
Ein Nichts
Verdorben mein Name
Mein Leid mein Reich
Mein Wille mein Fluch
Über mich und außer mir
Täglich hungert mein Leib
Und dürstet meine Seele aufs Neue
Ich trage die Schuld
Wie ich ertrage die Beschuldigungen
Ich bin in Versuchung
Und kenne keine Erlösung
Denn mein ist das Leid
Die Wut
Und das Streben
Bis zum Tod
Amen
[Refrain]
Bow down before thy lord below
Bow down before thy lord below
[Verse 4]
I shall rise
I shall rule in blasphemy
And in the end, when thou art mine
Thou will be like me
[Pre-Chorus]
In saecula saeculorum
In stagnum ignis et sulphuris
[Chorus]
In darkness
Thou shalt come unto me
In darkness
Thou shalt worship me
In darkness
Thou art mine eternally
