Dimmu Borgir The Sepentine Offering Lyrics

The Sepentine Offering Lyrics

My descent is the story of everyman

I am hatred, darkness and despair

My descent is the story of everyman

I am hatred, darkness and
despair



Evoked and entertained through centuries

Wrathful
and sullen -- Dormant still



The ferocity pervades everywhere

Waiting to be released at last

Hear my offering

Ye bastard sons
and daughters

Share my sacrifice

Share my sacrifice.



My descent is the story of everyman

I am hatred, darkness and
despair

My descent is the story of everyman

I am hatred, darkness
and despair



Reconcile not with the fear of the snake

But
embrace it as your own

Inject its venom into your veins

And replant
the seed that gives growth

Still shrouded in mystery

Until you arise
above perception

A veil of ignorance is in motion

Continuing
throughout generations



(A veil of ignorance is in motion

Continuing throughout multiple generations

Let me be the one that
deliver you from the deceit

And back into perfect accordance with the
laws of nature)



The snake is notoriously tempting

But the
snake is fair

What is worse than not knowing?

To live or
disappear?



The ferocity pervades everywhere

Waiting to be
released at last

Hear my offering

Ye bastard sons and daughters

Share my sacrifice

Share my sacrifice
