“Satan Prayer” is a parody of the Nicene Creed, which is a statement of belief widely used in Christian liturgy; it’s the Anti-Nicene Creed. Like many other songs on Opus Eponymous, it’s basically a pop rock with heavy metal influences.
[Verse: Papa Emeritus]
Believe in one God do we
Satan almighty
The uncreator of heaven and soil
And the invisible and the visible
And in his son begotten of father
By whom all things will be unmade
Who for man and his damnation
Incarnated rise up from hell
From sitteth on the left hand of his father
From thence he shall come to judge
Out of one substance with Satan
Whose kingdom shall haveth no end
[Chorus: Papa Emeritus]
Hear our Satan prayer, our anti-Nicene creed
Hear our Satan prayer, for the coming of seed
Hear our Satan prayer, our anti-Nicene creed
Hear our Satan prayer, for the coming of seed
[Guitar Solo: Nameless Ghouls (Fire & Aether)]
[Bridge: Papa Emeritus]
Unholy ghost, overlord
And taker of life
[Chorus: Papa Emeritus]
Hear our Satan prayer, our anti-Nicene creed
Hear our Satan prayer, for the coming of seed
Hear our Satan prayer, our anti-Nicene creed
Hear our Satan prayer, for the coming of seed
Hear our Satan prayer, our anti-Nicene creed
Hear our Satan prayer, for the coming of seed
Hear our Satan prayer, our anti-Nicene creed
Hear our Satan prayer
