Lyrics:
There is no God but Man
& I'm the man of all sorrows
Drawn from the Light of the morning dawn
Riding the sands of tomorrow
I've roamed to & fro upon this earth
& I've sailed every Great Sea
With a gun at my hip
Engulfed in all the eternal mystery
& I'll take you on down
I'll take you on down
I came across the lost highway
Where the lonely lovers do walk
A man hung from an ancient tree
& a child was crowned as a hawk
The wine flowed from the ether
As the æon gathered around
Upon their knees to recieve the blood
Of the Whore's divine ground
& I'll take you on down
I'll take you on down
I've slaughtered the lamb
& tasted the hymns of a thousand angels
& there is no way to heal
This infant of the broken cradle
& I walk nine infernal circles
Upon my unholy descent
From the bodies of limbo
To Lucifer the Bringer of Light's ascent
& I'll take you on down
I'll take you on down
The busy bee has no time for me
As thunderstorms they swell & crack
Across an endless void of darkness
& there is no turning back
& there is no turning back
There is no turning back
Now men & women you gather around your love
From every quarter of your damned heart
For your Lover is your Mother
& she is an aching wound
& the Fool returns to the start
& the Fool is a Star
& The Fool is The Star

Revelation Law

Lyrics:
I lie in my room
With a bible & a gun
In love with the moon
Another man on the run
I take out my whiskey
& have a swig or two
I need to be free
I'm sailing a pandemonium lagoon
& I'll be your saviour
From the eastern shore
& you were my lover
Before Revelation Law
I saddle up my horse
Before the rising sun
& I curse this day
I hope for death to come
There is no salvation
For this or any lonesome stranger
As I find damnation
In the childless manger
& I'll be your saviour
From the eastern shore
& you were my lover
Before Revelation Law
I'm riding the killing floor
With a black snake moan
To find you in your room
Lying there not alone
The Devil has got my woman
As I take out my switchblade knife
& slit her throat
Upon a blood stained sky
& I'll be your saviour
From the eastern shore
& you were my lover
Before Revelation Law
& I'll be your saviour
From the eastern shore
& you were my lover
Before Revelation Law

Lyrics:
You came to me on the street
With your hair now flowing long
Your eyes were a wound
Lamented in an ancient song
& I would wait a lifetime
To taste the sorrow on your face
As I caress your throat
With the lips of a traitors embrace
& won’t you hold me
Within your hands of silver
& now the time has gone my love
So we return to the Never
As I hold your hand
In your veins flickers desire
To succumb & absolve our flesh
In our bed of funeral fire
Now babe don’t you fear
For the child that you hide inside
For I am the sun
& I will climb your morning tide
You are the Star my dear
You are the Star my dear
& we’re flying
& we’re dying

Lyrics:
I got jealousy on my mind
I got jealousy on my mind
& I know your little love is treating me so unkind
When I see your face
When I see your face
I just on down & see just a little disgrace
I got jealousy on my mind
I got jealousy on my mind
& I know your little love is treating me so unkind
Jesus was betrayed with a kiss
Jesus was betrayed with a kiss
& your little heart babe is a’miss
I got jealousy on my mind
I got jealousy on my mind
& I know your little love is treating me so unkind
Now you’re spreading your pale white thighs
& your tongue is a vessel of lies
& I’ll just have to steal your foolish pride
I got jealousy on my mind
I got jealousy on my mind
& I know your little love is treating me so unkind
& now you’re sleeping on next to me
& now you’re sleeping on next to me
& I’m going to make your breath just a dream
I got jealousy on my mind
I got jealousy on my mind
& I know your little love is treating me so unkind
& I’m gonna take you down
Yes I’m gonna take you down
Down beneath the snow, the earth, & the heavenly crown
Because I got jealousy on my mind
I got jealousy on my mind
& I know your little love is treating me so unkind

Lyrics:
I am the Beast
& I come as the Sun
I AM
The Beast
& I ride the Whore of Babalon
I am the Light
Unto the morning star
I bring the Light
Upon this darkened world
& I will rise
As the Lord
& I will rise
As the Lord
& I will rise
As I am the Lord
I am the Beast
& I come as the Sun
I AM
The Beast
& I ride the Whore of Babalon
I am the Law
unto the New Aeon
I bring the Law
to save all the fallen souls
& I will rise
As the Lord
& I will rise
As the Lord
& I will rise
As I am the Lord
For I so loved Him
For I so loved the Light
But I am damned to my 100,000 year prison
But within you girl
I shall be risen
The Kingdom of Heaven is within you girl
My Kingdom of Heaven is within you girl
The Kingdom of Heaven is within you girl
My Kingdom of Heaven is within you girl
Love is the law
Love under will
Love is the law
& you will Love under my Will

Lyrics:
I lie
Upon an ocean
As I watch you dream
& as I
Am beside your Self
You take inside the sunbeams
So do not worry now
That you have gone you are my Love
So do not worry now
That you have gone you are my Love
You are
My lady
Of the great & open sea
& I’ve never
Owned your body
But I know
You & I are free
So do not worry now
That you have gone
You are my Love
So do not worry now
That you have gone
You are my Love
I lost you
Before yesterday
& I will find you tomorrow
You’ll be waiting
Upon the steps
Of your long & winding sorrow
So do not worry now
That you have gone
You are my Love
So do not worry now
That you have gone
You are my Love
