SAMAEL - Rebellion

Rebellion

Two alone in a sack of skin 
Playing the role of slave master of war 
That is my lot

Separated but still united 
Bound to emptiness, bound to flesh 
That is my hell

Penitent rebel 
Riding the ether or groveling in the mud 
I know how little is the value of that which has a price

Rebellion! 
Instinct is not the path of man 
Rebellion! 
Renunciation is not the divine way

Two alone in a sack of skin 
Playing the role of slave master of war 
That is my lot

Separated but still united 
Bound to emptiness, bound to flesh 
Captured and tortured 
I don’t want this, I want to leave

How can one go when one has already arrived? 
Flight is an illusion 
And even triumph is bitter 
When only the battle is counted

I know how little is the value of that which has a price

Rebellion! 
Instinct is not the path of man 
Rebellion! 
Renunciation is not the divine way

Rebellion!

After The Sepulture

Nothing ever stops
Everything starts again 
The end and the beginning 
Are eternal lovers

Prisoners of our bodies 
From the cot to the grave 
Impotent puppets 
We aspire to the light

The sun will turn in black 
You will see the dark... After the sepulture

Grams of their brother’s cries 
Spirit lastly free oneself 
Like raise the incense smoke 
And the funeral orations

Here time is unreal 
Hours and minutes are meaningless 
Here eternity has a name 
Remorse and penitence

The sun will turn in black 
You will see the dark... After the sepulture

Life is just an illusion 
Going round and round

I Love The Dead

I love the dead before they're cold, 
Their blueing flesh for me to hold. 
Cadaver eyes upon me see nothing. 
I love the dead before they rise, 
No farewells, no goodbyes. 
I never even knew your now-rotting face. 
While friends and lovers mourn your silly grave. 
I have other uses for you, Darling.

I love the dead, 
I love the dead, 
I love the dead 
I love the dead, 
I love the dead, 
I love the dead. 
I love the dead, 
I love the dead, 
I love the dead. 
I love the dead, 
I love the dead, 
I love the dead. Yes I do 
I love the dead, 
I love the dead, 
I love the dead.
