Artist/Band: Emperor
Lyrics for Song: The Loss And Curse Of Reverence
Lyrics for Album: Reverence [1997]



Memories of torment strikes me

Attempts were made to suffocate me at birth

Fools

I was already ancient

Thou can not kill what breeds within Thee



Alas, this agony

The emptiness of earthborn pride

Path stirred my faithful heart

Which guided me to darker paths

Far away from their pestilent ways

Cleansed was I from deceitful grace

Yet, put to scorn was I

By those unclean

Enslaved by ignorance

They blindly spat upon the deity of hate

Awake is the darkest fiend



By the fallen one I shall arise



Upon bewildered masses

To whom the indulgence of my soul

Portray as sin made god

I shall revile and quell the source

Whence mockery of my kind derive

This I know

Facile shalt my quest not come to pass

Deathwish be my gift to all at last



Honour

Commended no longer as virtue

Yet, shalt be extolled at light's demise



By the fallen one I shall arise



Believer

Speak not to me of justice

For none have I have seen

By God, I shall give as I receive

Betrayer

Speak not to me at all

You and this world ripped my fucking heart out



Again... and again... and again...
