Behemoth - Xul lyrics

[music and lyrics by Nergal] the son ov morn what made me so divine? I, transcending ecstasy through ecstasy I who am eternally defined by my Will [lead: Seth] behold I am the spawn ov downcast Ariman awakened, yet am no longer human kindle me to Thy rapture as I descend into Sheol Hiva! hear my call! transform my flesh into flame Hiya! hear my cry! sustain my being in million-fold forms [background lead: Nergal] our creed: the living flesh our law: trespa** all the laws since NUIT is our refuge and HADIT becomes our light [lead: Nergal] all stirs within tis chaos in and above me in the world ov nether-nether "I" infinite space is all-consuming behold! I am unending! the conciousness ov "I" shines universally unbound by wretched dogma I spew my will forth! hell is democracy!

[beckground lead: Nergal] all things exist in me I believe in naught save myself my sermon steadfast and proud: there is nothing but god in me! all things stir in me with joy and suffering my sermon steadfast and proud: there is nothing but god in me! [lead: Karl Sanders] [this peace has a strong Lovecraftian approach to it. the term "XUL" comes from Sumerian, and means "evil". but when you read this backwards it will give you the Latin word "LUX", which is "light". in my code "evil" stands for primal forces, the cosmic beings ov unimaginable powers that influence my life, give it another dimension or different level ov reality. it is so unlimited and hard to be defined or to be labeled but it definitely opens new doors ov perception and make me understand what's hidden behind the wall ov ignorance.]
