Child, suffer yourself Unto me in darkness, Your body carved into a temple. Your hand of glory engulfed in flames, And I, your thief in the night. Hear me, Goddess! Lady of Sickness! She who has called me forth! Serve me! My burning flesh Has turned to ashes In a sacrament of agony! *Pained Scream* I hold my flesh to fire You burn yourself in my name. The gathering ash, the dust of my birth Consume now your body to show your devotion Through you I shall cry out From your body I shall venture forth Your smoldered skin sanctifies my throne Accept this suffering And here, your sacrifice made a lone Through pain I am pure! Now sing to me, the defi ling one You! Goddess of truth! And in the darkness we blind the son Oh, beautiful Ash!

I am the owl that screeches! My claws reach from the dark! O, lady of snakes! O, goddess of venom! Devote your blade as a plow and till the flesh above your heart! O, lady of anguish! O, goddess of worth! My bowl overturned To collect your libation. An incantation acidic Drips down from the fork of my tongue To the stream of your blood, Onto this prodigal son! I am the night wanderer, I defile the sons of man, And they shall die, In abandonment, And in my distress I called unto the Lord, But he did not hear me! My soul cried out from the depths of the dead, To the Matron of Harpies! The seeress of snakes! And in my distress I called unto the Lord, But he did not hear me! My soul cried out from the depths of the dead, To the Matron of Harpies! The seeress of snakes! These things I have written on your flesh That you may know that you are damned!

Wraith! To scry your mind! To become your disease, I stare into you - My eyes in the blood! My eyes in the blood! Spill your body, Spill your filth, Into the pool of Bethzatha - Wretched legs and atrophy Shall spread my anointment Reign within me! O, kiss of sodom! Grant me misery! Pour me out as a libation. Flay your body For my lust. Grovel in adoration. Bare before me and writhing! O you, fountain of God! You will be an empire Born out from my womb - You will be the plagued one! The son shall be consumed!
4.
Now I am corrupt in God's sight, and full of violence! Violence! God has seen how corrupt I have become, for all the thoughts of my heart are corrupt in their ways! I spit in your eyes and press your face into the dirt! Weakened man! Weakened heart, Who sits and grovels! And whatever I ask I receive from her, Because I keep her commandments and I please her sight. Sacrifice your eyes unto me, The goddess of plagues! The matron of harpies! The seeress of snakes! Here I shall place the scales upon your eyes, And here in the darkness you shall become speechless! Now I take this burden! Power flows in the blood! Taste the blood of the lamb! Wonder working power! Power in the blood! Wonder working power! And whatever I ask I receive from her, Because I keep her commandments and I please her sight.

Speak to me only through defiant tongues! Collapse my heart, Rid me of my senses! Set the sun and set ablaze malevolence! Punish the weakest Of those who follow! Hail to the fallen queen - The mother of all cruelty! Her hymn is suffocation! Now, for her putrid eye, A blade upon my tongue! Cling to me! I’ll pull your soul to mine In rotting adoration! Autophagial transubstantiation! Rip my breath out from my lungs, You deceiver! I am now bound in bloodlust unto your throne! Speak to me only through defiant tongues! Collapse my heart, Rid me of my senses! Set the sun and set ablaze malevolence! Punish the weakest Of those who follow! O, Darkest Mother! All but for a glimpse of you! O, Darkest mother! All but for a glimpse of you!

In burning my flesh and consuming the ashes And in rending open my skin I become the blood-spring of Eden And I see the profane through torn eyes! My will to thee, O wretched one! My lips are flayed open in praise! My body is made whole through agony - Through desecration my temple is immortal. To Defile is to Transcend! The blood from your father flows out From your mouth Now choke on your guilt O lust of my lust The stain of my hymnal I pull my flesh taught The instruments of truth, sanguineous shochet Peeling back layers of fortune My lips are flayed open in praise! My lips are flayed open in praise! Here, the beginning, O, blood-word god, Thine words are god, My death becomes god. Bleed through me, the pulpit, I, the mouthpiece Of the febrile and fetid A subject of faith, I sing to thee, My tribute, Spills on the body’s alter, O, tribute to death, Swine- singing praise, Malediction! Rancorous baptism! Tear deep your flesh. You, child, can not transcend, Your blood on my pearl, The poison of faith, I deny Christ. All the years that I’ve wasted in silence Always clinging to what gave me my comfort Ever reaching for the answers that lie beyond My reach, ever dwindling by the day Captivated, held back from the truth While the relentless sting of illusion Continues to lull me to sleep Averting my gaze Questioning my motives Devising a plan to escape This self-contained dull point of view The stars in the sky Much like the life within me Flickers and fades

I have been rebuked, I am strong in pain, Sacrificed myself, And both my children Naked I succumb to your womb For I am stricken and endlessly punished. Revel in your pain, skin for skin, Die in my womb Where the day will, Give way to the darkness, Return unto the world, In true lifelessness, a stillborn True self O, Agony! True self, Through pain! Take me deep into you. Born into a lifeless husk, Take me deep into you. Born into a lifeless husk, Pull me, Drag me, Deeper, Pull me, Drag me, Deeper, Inside, of you, mother Inside, of you, mother Pull me, Drag me, Deeper, Inside, of you, mother

Mystērion, Babylōn hē megalē, hē mētēr tōn pornōn kai tōn bdelygmatōn tēs gēs Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of Prostitutes and Abominations of the Earth I am your goddess! Hovering over the many waters! Draw deep now! Drunk from the well of my womb! Bathe in the scarlet robes of my body, Adorned by the vile pearls of our lust! There I see you! O whore, Oh my Lord! Upon a multitude of Kings! And I, the first to have fallen! Weakness I am! Weakness of man! Dominate me! Weakness I am! Weakness of body! Weakness of Man! I was given the bloodguilt By the bastard son of a war god! Here in your presence I will lie dormant! Miasmatic prophecies are known!

Kodesh HaKodashim I tear apart the curtain of my own flesh Lover! Mother of Plagues! Crucifix! O, Longinus! Pour Water from my ribs! Seed upon the altar! Theophilic! Incestuous! Child! For you, only tears! For you only death! Former things now reign! Here a man! Now a blasphemer! Desecrated image! Here a man! Now a blasphemer! Returning to my birth! Here a man! Now a blasphemer! Lusting as I suffer! Here a man! Now a blasphemer! Bring me into you! I shall drink the flames of hell from your breast! Sha'are Mavet! The damned gates of your womb! Curtains of the goddess close around my eyes! Taken by the cursed walls of her, The mother! The Lover! Inside! Curtains of the goddess close around my eyes! Unto her reversed birth! The mother! The Lover! Inside!

about

This is not one huge album, this is 4 different listening experiences of the same 9 track album devoted to the Seeress of Snakes.

A modern mixed/mastered album.
A TRV BLK MTL MIX.
A simulated 33 1/3 speed vinyl mix.
An Instrumental mix.

We chose these mix options as an innovation in the black metal community and to provide our singer's students an opportunity to practice with songs they're familiar with.

"After experiencing a live Gorgoroth show, I decided to write a black metal song in an hour as a challenge to myself. Over the course of 9 days I wrote this album. Soon after, many friends asked to contribute and we all did our part to make this album come to life." - Nico
