this is a mantra for myself
this is a mantra for someone else
this is a mantra so be warned...
hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
Sweetly he smiles at me so bright he burns me
tongue twisted sick with words she'll get what she deserves
she got what she deserved.
See me I look at you so deep that she feels me
girl tricks made you believe but she steels me I will be her disease
Diavolina screams...
Keep me so safe inside your sins
our secret I watch you live your life in regret
you'll get what you deserve
sleepy you close your eyes but you can't dream
you dirty girl so mean can't clean me I'll be your disease
Diavolina screams..
And I swear sacred as this heart of mine strong
as the ties which bind us heavy as this cross which I forever bear
eternity will be the hell we share and what you want
I don't care coz it doesn't concern me.
This is about what I need s
o believe as the needla goes in,
I'm creeping under your skin soak you in sickness and scent you in sin
so say you'll love her and I'll believe you
but if you can't then you only decieve you
I said I love you and I don't lie...
remember that next time you kiss me goodbye.
Pravus (Meshuggah)
Drooling floods of Led
armed with distorted belief
Sharp munition spat from our minds
malignancy-rounds, automatic fire
Black, acidic bile
Seeping wounds of shattered souls
Still not pissing out fast enough
to quench our thirst for it to bleed us dry
Vile, ever-menacing intent
Repulsive belligerance shot from toxic minds
Blatant disregard for all but self
Proudly flaunting the depravity of a race condemned, malign
Iterate. Repeat these my words
Recite the mantra of late:
I will corrupt and impair
vitiate, dispirit, debase, violate
Souls born with hateful intent
The deceitful spawn, descendants of lies
By the poisoned nails of history stung
If granted the will to injure
If granted the will to harm
- the blades of hurt inexhaustibly swung
Tattoo (Tricky)
Cover [colour] me, cover [colour] me.
When you're sitting all alone in the middle of the floor,
There's something uncontrollable,
You sit there watching the door,
Cover me, cover me.
Cover me, cover me.
already feelin' tied to your bad side [Already feel ill, Tattoo you're bad side]
Slap your thigh,
Slap your mouth [calf],
Sing your mantra,
Do [leave] your walk,
Cover me, cover me.
Cover me, cover me.
Something fits along my spine,
Just givin' lovin' from behind,
Fortify my arms (x2)
Cover me, cover me.
Cover me, cover me.
(Repeat whole thing X2)
Requiem (The Tea Party)
and you say life is bitter sweet
you've tried so gracefully
but its faceless company has let you down
say it comes to this
all the things you'd miss
a requiem won't change your fate
lost and they set you free
concerned by what they'd see
and you begged on bended knee
still they let you down
say it comes to this
all the things you'd miss
a requiem won't change your fate
it passes over you, passes over
say it comes to this
all the things you'd miss
a requiem won't change your fate
it passes over you
passes over you
passes over
so soon
this requiem
Chant For EZXHATON 2000 (Behemoth)
Fly, fly high my Black Eagle
Let golden thread bind our eyes
May our minds and hearts blood unite
On your wings carry me over the abyss
Beyond The Reason and across the burning seas
Then, with your claw tear the earth to the halves
And usher me into the secrets of her bowels
Down to the light of the beginning and the end which shimmers
Circle! Round and round my Black Eagle
Let our senses be touched by ultimate pleasure
May the passion of hunting become all - devouring
Slash! Slash with your beak
Remove all gods from my way, and thoughts, and sorrows
And let me trespass the barriers of fear
Scream! Let the whole cosmos tremble
May echoes become my the sweetest mantra
Spirit of Freedom! Eternal Wanderer! Joyfull Solitude!
Higher and higher towards the stars of Awareness
Let worlds of imagination and fact become one
I'm you and you are me
Santanic Mantra (Cradle Of Filth)
"Archangel, Dark Angel
Lend me thy light
Through Death's veil
'Til we have Heaven in sight!"
Churning The Maelstrom (Nile)
Am the Uncreated God
Before Me The Dwellers in Chaos are Dogs
Their Masters Merely Wolves
I Gather The Power
From Every Place
From Every Person
Faster Than Light Itself
Hail To He Who Is In The Duat
Who Is Strong
Even Before The Servants of Serpents
He Gathers The Power
From Every Pit of Torment
From They Who Hath Burnt in Flames
From Words of Power Uttered By the
Darkness Itself
Hail To He in The Pit
Who Is Strong
Even Before the Terrors of The Abyss
Who Gathers The Power
From The Wailing And Lamentations
Of The Shades Chained Therein
From He Who Createth Gods From
The Silence Alone
[Last year, after the release of Black Seeds of Vengeance, I received e-mails containing the text of a work whose origins had until then been completely unknown to me. Entitled, "The Chapter for Bringing Heka to those who Burn," the author claimed it was part of a larger collection of works known as "The Book of Resurrection Apophis." In Egyptian methology, Apophis is also known as Apep, the terrible monster serpent who, in dynastic times, was a personification of the darkness of the darkest hour of night. Apeop is the dreaded embodiment of utter evil in the form of a giant snake that arises anew each night to struggle against the Sun god, Ra. Against Apep, Ra must not only fight, but must succesfully conquer morning sun, lest darkness and chaos engulf the entire earth during the day as well. Apep was both crafty and evil doing, and, like Ra, possessed many names, to destroy him it was necessary to curse him by each and every name by which he as known. In Egyptian papyri, Apep is also represented in the form of an enormous serpent, into each undulation of which a knife is stuck. In the Book of Gates, we see him fastened by the neck with a chain (along which is fastened the Goddess, Serqet), the end of which is in the hands of a god, and also chained to the ground with five chains. Coincidentally (or perhaps not), Apophis is also the name the Hyskos king Aussere adopted during his reign over the conquered and subjugated Egypt of 1570 B.C. The Hyskos had invaded Egypt and established their new political and religious capical city, Avaris, in the delta region of Egypt. Avaris is also the site of the original Temple of Set. Set (or Sutekh, to the Hyskos) wa the chief god of the Hyskos at that time, but in Egyptian mythology since pre-dynastic times, Set was the murderous brother of Osiris, and the original ultimate embodiment of the forces of darkness, chaos and evil, at whose command was te monster serpent, Apep. During the early period of the Hyskos occupation, the Hyskos faced little significant opposition. But during the reign of Apophis I, the Theban princes of Egypt rose up to drive the Hyskos back out of Egypt, a feat that is recounted on two large stelae set up by Kamose in the Temple of Amun at Karnak. The text which I received was in three languages - Egyptian, Greek and modern English, along with rubric instructions for the proper recitation of the chants, which are to be memorized and repeated as a sort of mantra, and as such should be spoken in Egyptian rather than English. The translations were given only to throw light upon the meanings of the spell. Upon closer examination of the text, it seems to bear superficial resemblance to Chapter 24 of the Papyrus of Ani, "The Chapter for Bringing Magick to Ani," (which is also known in some Books of the Dead as "The Chapter for Gaining Power," and in modern ritualmagick as "The Gathering of Heka.") But the similarities go immediately astray, for "The Chapter for Bringing Heka to those who Burn" seems as though it is, in this incarnation, a blasphemous underworld perversion of the chapters contained in the Theban Recension of the Book of the Dead. Perhaps it was intended for use by ancient cultists who would be intent upon using the darker forces of Chaos and the spiritual energy of those souls burning in the fiery pits of torment in the underworld for their own cultist ambitions of the upsetting the orderer structure of the ancient Egyptian world. More likely, their goal was probably to alter the political balance of rival religious factions in the turmoil of those tumultuous intermediate times. By the end of the 14th Dynasty, Egypt's once considerable might as a nation had eroded due to internal political struggles, so that it was unable to defent itself against invaders. The Hyskos overwhelmed the Dynasty, remaining in power until being expelled during the 17th Dynasty ina great war, which lasted, according to Manetbo, about a quarter of a century
Testify (Rage Against The Machine)
The movie ran through me
The glamour subdue me
The tabloid untie me
I'm empty please fill me
Mister anchor assure me
That Baghdad is burning
Your voice it is so soothing
That cunning mantra of killing
I need you my witness
To dress this up so bloodless
To numb me and purge me now
Of thoughts of blaming you
Yes the car is our wheelchair
My witness your coughing
Oily silence mocks the legless
Now traveling in coffins
But on the corner
The jury's sleepless
We found your weakness
And it's right outside our door
Now testify
With precision you feed me
My witness I'm hungry
Your temple it calms me
So I can carry on
My slaving sweating the skin right off my bones
On a bed of fire I'm choking on the smoke that fills my home
The wrecking ball rushing
My witness your blushing
The pipeline is gushing
While here we lie in tombs
While on the corner
The jury's sleepless
We found your weakness
And it's right outside your door
Now testify
Mass graves for the pump and the price is set
Who controls the past now controls the future
Who controls the present now controls the past
Who controls the past now controls the future
Who controls the present now?
Now testify
In The Presence Of My Enemies (Machine Head)
I never ask myself why injustice befell me
Accepted of the fact,
Try and live a life of peace
I'm not a violent man,
But to those who'd threaten me
My enemy, for my family I'll show thee
Death I will fight you to
Wrath provoked you cannot bear
Our lives are not your toys
Mercy, not a drop to spare
You of destruction
Of hope's deconstruction
Kills
Innocence is lost when
The blood of innocents
Spills
I'm not a violent man, again I wish to repeat
But for every human that takes away
A child's innocence
Whether it by molest,
Or by all wars pointlessness
Killer of life
Corruptor of all that is pure
I want your nose to break
Shattered under clenched fist
Smash face to concrete
Taste the asphalt's gentle kiss
You of destruction
Of hope's deconstruction
Kills
Innocence is lost when
The blood of innocents
Spills
To those that are to blame
Destroyers of every dream
Breaking of hatred's wings
Mars' phoenix begins fading
To those that monger war
Claiming that this is to even scores
This mantra I invoke
No longer this fear will
I choke
There's no peace for the one who can't know peace
Your every breath it only lives to take
Someday the earth you will descend
Not a regret I'll harbor in
Tearless my eyes
Flowerless my hands
And that day when your moment is fleeting
That thought keeps my heart beating
When they lower your casket down
Bitter the sweet within my mouth
Ender of life
Corruptor of all that's pure
On Your Grave
I Will Stand
Cathartik (The Tea Party)
try to change
i never wanted to be a simple man
i'd rahter live all my days as a lion, than a thousand as a lamb
i only wanted to see, what would happen to me
if i followed the road that leads to the palace we all seek
did you come here lamenting what you missed
overcome and seduced by this the beautiful abyss
what did you come here to see, what are you trying to be
you're like a shadow that swallows life
now you're crawling over me
the time's come again, it's nearing the end
but i feel no shame, do you feel the same
because i know i'll be alright, if i make it through tonight
well i swear i'll try to change, once again
innocence is a face that always lies
innocence is a wish for some, but it's something i can't buy
what are you trying to prove, so many mountains to move
and all yoru demons are heaven sent
my lost cathartik friend
