lyrics

Odi profanum vulgus et arceo

I behold havoc. All that was renowned dethroned
and gods in tauriforms are now lambs
tearing their limbs on their own
(And it was a glimpse on perdition
that engraved their names in their tombs)
Chained for an aeon in chains that were blessed
our foolnes as saviour and our wisdom as pledge
til we see our shadows as gods

for all we have known and all we can see is of fraud

Odi profanum vulgus
I am the venom you carelessly devour
I am the purpose of threat
and I worship not shadows
but chaos and dread
(chaos and dread)
remnants of hope defiled
their marble macerated to sludge
their sculptors shunned the guilt
and chorales roar as they pass
(and chorales roar as they pass)

truth is the irrepressible fire
enlightened on peaks, clearing the groves
but fires and shadows they ́re sealed to each other

at the nadir
and for aeons to come
the turmoil we seek
the psalms that we preach
they were wrongs
all is gone but dross on cold soil
unblemished the filth and the delusion within
And the last remembrance of times of grandeur
are no longer ruins for they turned to dust
When the shackles are loosened
When all shadows fall
we recognise and despise the blind
we frolic on our downfalls dawn
meum regnum adveniat
mea voluntas fiat
et potestas
et chaos
in saecula
