Casus Luciferi Lyrics

Casus Luciferi lyrics

From the vaults below the deserttemple 



To the throne among the stars 



In the hearts of us, your children, oh divine luminary 



Thou shineth! 



Like sunbeams penetrating the foundations of the earth 



Thine grace ignites the seeds of creation 



And in our veins is stillness, as your shadows come to life 



For they are like whispers speaking of 



...death in heaven 







Behold the black cloud of corpselike birds 



Their wings are on fire 



And their song has turned backwards 



A morbid cacaphony singing of... 



A new dawn! 







Burn my flesh, thou light of lights 



Most eminent perfection, most magnificent of sights 



Mark me with thee, stainless Ar 



Most real, so clear and bright they shine both eye and star 



Descend upon the dead, black sky 



By a grace of just one glance they all shall die 



Pour the bitter wine of salvation into our blood 



And let our scars form rivers flooding the kingdom of their god 







Let the immense gates of heaven open 



Let the dawn of justice come 



When a thousand pale and silenced faces 



Turn towards the sky 



To behold in fear and wonder how the firmanent turns dark 



By the sound of a lonely trumpet calling 



And countless birdlike carrions falls reeking from above 



Embedded in a red glow telling of... 



A burning dawn! 







For this sunrise shall not wake you by the foul light of Christ 



But by Satan's fire burning in your eyes 



And the thundering voice of a lion over the plains of man 



Shall proclaim the horned phoenix final rise 



For it is not rain that falls tonight from the black, ominious sky 



But sulphur tears from the last flock of birds 



And the wind carries the smell of death, from the agony in their hearts 



As the fly in nameless fear towards... 



Luciferion!
