Celtic Frost
Rex Irae (Requiem)
You have joined your father's feast
Those who saw: Essence or fall
Floods of dramatic silence
And words, from whom we don't know

Let me dream
A pallid death
Flee from false
Mirage into dark
I have tasted the weight of lust
The horizons echo your glance
My hands on the skein of height
Following a detractive sleep

I am the wrath beneath the heavens
The downfall's monologue
Fallen into the vision of effect
Quiet as gods can be

Orgies of fear
All mortal is love?
Lnbreeding and death
Remembrance has won
I have walked Carthagia's sands
Breathing glorified innocence
L have touched those buried walls
Quiescence has died therefore
I am the wrath beneath the heavens
The downfall's monologue
Fallen into the vision of effect
Quiet as gods can be

We stood before the portals of Babylon (Have seen your decline's symbols)
And saw it's petrified fall (But carried another life)
We tasted the wine of Persepolis, (Death was never a fragment of)
As mute as our era's breath (Exalting fantasy)

This last region - Last of fire
Orgasmic cries - Tears and words
Wrath and strength - Oh, gods! For you!
Before the throne - Death

Fright and praise
Art of might!
A faded light
You remaining king

Intimate rests my book
Take your predesessor's hand
Unwritten what seems true
You son of my Jade gift

I am the wrath beneath the heavens
The downfall's monologue
Fallen into the vision of effect
Quiet as gods can be
