Babylon’s Embrace

I believe in one secret and ineffable lord
And in one room where all men are born
And in one air, the nourisher of all that breathes
And holds the key to the secrets of the high degree
The serpent and the lion, the candles burn bright
As we recite the words to this sacred rite
Let the water bare the virtue of the great sea
As meat and drink are transmuted in us daily
In the company of stars I sit
For the fire is creation and creation is the start of it
Resurrection through death, the eternal cycle
Three aeons, the real story of the holy bible
So mode it be, to the prophet so secret
This is a puzzle rearranged into many pieces
We're nothing more than compiled particles of dust
So let the father be present amoung us

[Chorus:]
Behold the great work of the mysteries
I am a part of them, they are a part of me
Chaos, Babylon’s embrace
Ressurrected in the image of the alchemy of Baphomet

[Chorus]
Behold the great work of the mysteries
I am a part of them, they are a part of me
Chaos, Babylon's embrace
Ressurrected in the image of the alchemy of Baphomet

As it is above so it is below
We're embraced by the warmth in the dead of cold
The number twelve multiplied four times
As we step forth and give the magician’s hailing sign
In the name of our lord, the sun
Thou one in three and thou three in one
Thy will be done for the will is pure
Partake in the communion, resurrection in the obscure
For the seed is devoured in the sacred hour
We take power from the virgin that will lay deflowered
And may these rites be performed with respect
Performed in admiration of life and of death
The ongoing cycle of reproduction
Is more than what it seems when used inside this sacred function
We're nothing more than compiled particles of dust
So may the father be present among us

Behold the great work of the mysteries
I am a part of them, they are a part of me
Chaos, Babylon's embrace
Ressurrected in the image of the alchemy of Baphomet
Behold the great work of the mysteries
I am a part of them, they are a part of me
Chaos, Babylon's embrace
Ressurrected in the image of the alchemy of Baphomet
Behold the great work of the mysteries
I am a part of them, they are a part of me
Chaos, Babylon's embrace
Ressurrected in the image of the alchemy of Baphomet
