In the time before the time
All was chaos
With the light at the dawn of creation
We came to existence
We fall and ascend again
But in the end everything shall return
To where it came (from)
(To the primordial chaos!)

I am the heir of divinity
The seed of creation
I am the bringer of light
The brightest star in the nightsky
I am the bringer of primordial fire
The flame that burns in the hearts of men
I am the bringer of knowledge
And my wisdom is infinite
The candle that never fades to black
The luminous essence of nocturnal rituals
The herald of the night without end
The new dawn that rises...
I am the word
The Logos incarnated
I am the sword
Of fire and brimstone
I am the serpent
That crawls in every skin
Perfect and radiant
I am the morning star
I am the light at the end of darkness
I am the fire of thousand burning suns
I am the gateway to higher mysteries
I am the torment of the heavenly choir
I am the wisdom, vision and the voice
And I am the truth beyond life and death
Fallen to rise again
Crowned as the king of earth
Now I will ascend and build my throne
Above the heavens of God
And my reign will last forever
For I am Lucifer, the shining one!

O Tartaros!
Receive me in these darkened gates of thine
O Tartaros!
Conceive me the key to your mighty kingdom
Let me be the vessel for your hate and abandon
Let me shine in your profound darkness
Let me be the lamp of your eternal night
Fallen from a golden birth, I come to thee
Not in dismay or desperation
For I am the one who defied God
The rebellious angel
That fell from the highest heavens
To venture to the bottomless pit
I must embrace the desolation
Shadows eclipses me
Yet my vision becomes clear and clearer
The primordial darkness
Accepts the offering
And I am unified
Now my soul bears the scars
Of the trial of illumination
The dark night of the soul has ended
And I am reborn again

The sun has fallen
And it's dark again
Across the horizon
There's only blackness
In this unholy night
We bury our sins
And (we'll) return to the dark past
Come forth lunar entities!
Our blood to thee
In solitude we stay
But our hearts are yours
To possess and be possessed
In communion with the stars of might
To wander the endless valleys
With eyes in hunger...
For blood and knowledge
Flying in astral wings
Enraptured by the dark delights
And the ancient horrors of the night
Rituals of darkness
To absorb all life
And the dreary daylight
Which I despise
O old night!
You hear my pledges and mournful cries
May this moment be eternal
To never see the daylight again
O dark past!
You have returned
The moon is stained with blood
And another pact was sealed
