Heresy

from Per Ignem by Diskordia (UK/GR)

lyrics

A hall of flaming tombs
a scortching abyss
the city of Dis
Burried, inverted, crusified
no way,
to atone for their sin
A roof
ash scortched
no sky
no stars to gaze upon
No voice
as their mouths were stitched tight
no breathing
their existence denied
Silver pillars
rise high
to the “sky”
Angelic engravements
the commandments
they denied
Their flaming caskets
open wide
breathed in flames
till the end of time
Golden crosses
occupied
by those who dared
and lied
~
A silent mourning
only heard by the heart
It echoes louder
Than the flames that scortch apart
My will deceives me
And I wonder afar
Each step I weaken
Is it time to depart?
~
And there he stood
like a shade
longing for the
Light
he whispered
“don’t stay here
go beyond
See the pillars
ass tall as they are
it’s only the tip
of what you can become”
~
~
Silver lining’s
the way
as the fire
bows to me
the mourning
gets louder each step
they all watch me
as I decend
Crawling to my knees
the floor shifts
and I’m slipping in the abyss
Ἀθανάτους μὲν πρῶτα θεούς, νόμωι ὡς διάκεινται, τίμα καὶ σέβου ὅρκον. ἔπειθ' ἥρωας
ἀγαυούς τούς τε καταχθονίους σέβε δαίμονας ἔννομα ῥέζων σούς τε γονεῖς τίμα τούς τ'
ἄγχιστ' ἐγγεγαῶτας. τῶν δ' ἄλλων ἀρετῆι ποιεῦ φίλον ὅστις ἄριστος.
Πραέσι δ' εἶκε λόγοισ' ἔργοισί τ' ἐπωφελίμοισι. μηδ' ἔχθαιρε φίλον σὸν ἁμαρτάδος εἵνεκα
μικρῆς, ὄφρα δύνῆι· δύναμις γὰρ ἀνάγκης ἐγγύθι ναίει.
Ταῦτα μὲν οὕτως ἴσθι, κρατεῖν δ' εἰθίζεο τῶνδε· γαστρὸς μὲν πρώτιστα καὶ ὕπνου
λαγνείης τε καὶ θυμοῦ. πρήξηις δ' αἰσχρόν ποτε μήτε μετ' ἄλλου μήτ' ἰδίηι· πάντων δὲ
μάλιστ' αἰσχύνεο σαυτόν.
Blurry lights
faded halos
ripped apart
from those tortured souls
Golden feathers
pierced in tendrils
engraved by blood
a reminder
that words can spoil a soul
and lead the heart astray
In a moment your existence is gone
and your innocence forever spoiled
hands are tainted and foul
as speech is reduced into growl
