Blasphemy and the Master

God cursed my vile obscenity - and cast this wretched pox on me

Thus to annul my blasphemy - must I endure hell's purgatory

This plea I proffer unto thee - O mentor of my destiny

I beg thy blackened soul - to take this wretch within thy clemency

From barren realms of morbid fear - this foul tempestuous cross to bear

O Satan I beseech thee to have mercy on my soul

Even as I speak marasmus eats my flesh as I resign myself

To suffer sinners sentence of eternal scorching flame

Wracked with pain I crawl away to find some stinking hole

To vainly pray for succor to my weary vanquished soul

Satan I bow to the devil - Satan I crawl to the devil

All at once through acrid smoke I peer, terror grips my heart

Mesmerized, I fawn before the evil prince of darkness

Putrid pus seeps from my eyes, the sulphur burns my flesh

Where art thou Lucifer? What must I do to end this living death?

Assuming shape of goatlike man the tempter stands before me

And speaking slowly, summons wretched sinners seeking sanctuary

"Your blasphemy will be undone the day you hail the darkest one"

De profundis clamavi ad te Domine, Domine exaudi vocem meam

Quia apud Dominum misericordia, Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui sancto

For selling my divinity a blackened angel I shall be

And never more must I endure

Hell's wrath - hell's fire - hell's curse - hell sent

Hell's toll - hell bells - hell raise - hell bent

Hell's gates - hell's woe - hell's wrath - hells end

Thus he annulled my blasphemy

And scoured the plague of plagues from me

Innocently I believed that I possessed immunity

Then bitter truth did dawn on me

That I must spend eternity

In hades (not in penance) but in base servility
