Dimmu Borgir Hybrid Stigmata - The Apostasy Lyrics

Hybrid Stigmata - The Apostasy Lyrics

The apparition of two faces in disgust
Invisible but yet so
clear
Reflections seen by a fugitive
Trying to escape the looking
glass
Blood runs from open wounds of false flesh
The one in front of the
mirror exceeds the image
Eager to leave further but chained still

To
crumble into such nothingness
A despairing fate, for your lies
To pretend
is the lunatic's legacy
Privileged to bolt the nails of heresy

Born
lifeless into a world of coma
As the chronic sufferer trapped in paradise
lost
Missing insinuations of what life was meant to be
Angels and demons,
a march man's bewildering hosts

(chorus:)
The charlatans and deceivers
walk the line in prejudice
The narrow slits the veins in search for the
crown
Profound impatience makes the blind struggle in stupidity
The
paradox of the daily prayer, diffidence is Confiteor
Phenomena of ironies,
cast the litany aside
How intelligible, blessed be the
forgetful

Holding the banner high, unrestrained
Slowly abandoning the
surface in contempt
Still in costumes to please the ways of
living
Witnessing the details of defilement, intoxicating

Make sure
to be pleased with the ways of your death
For in days of reckoning and when
the twilight torn is ticking
Elysium is halfway and as an answer to the
plea
You're destined to yield fragments of Hell in return

Leave
unnoticed with the perfect conscience
With the strength of the spiritual
eye
Spirits of the token unchained and free
Recover from the
philanthropic macabre frenzy
The pale dove grins, black at heart ready to
flee
Demon to some, angel to others
