Antichrist Lyrics

Exiles wasteland stretches out before me,
An unknown world that, until now, I could not see,
My shackles lie broken as I defy defeat,
The metamorphosis is almost complete,
As I embrace what my future may hold,
A voice comforts me and takes me into it's fold,
This, is what it says;

You are the animals who invented God,
Just to hate yourselves,
You curse me and damn me a beast,
Because I'm the opposition to evil superstition
Desire was my gift to you,
A lust for life and knowledge too,
My friend, now, don't be ashamed of your humanity,
You are free

Take my hand, no harm will come,
I offer only truth, unlike some,
I know how it is to be spat upon,
No one wants me when they're not lonely,
....No grudge, many brothers are lost,
And many sisters too, so I curse that cross,
Give me your eyes, see truth of the world,
And how you've been fooled by a thought so cruel,
I've been thrown to the dirt, called lowest of the low,
Now I'm here, there's only one way to go,
The forgotten one, the abandoned son, Ready to ascend once his brethren come,

I've watched a billion sunsets, I'll watch a billion more,
My desire is eternal and my lust is pure,
You know me by many names, every one a curse,
I'm your brother or your mother or your lover or worse,
But all are irrelevant, call me what you will,
I represent knowledge and power of will,

You are the animals who invented God,
Just to hate yourselves,
You curse me and damn me a beast,
Because I'm the opposition to evil superstition
Desire was my gift to you,
A lust for life and knowledge too,
My friend, now, don't be ashamed of your humanity,
You are free

Denounce His name, my fallen angels,
Reduce His book to flame, my fallen angels,
Crush His house to dust, my fallen angels,
Earth is mother and you are my brothers,

So long ago, we were cast out together,
My brothers forgot, but I endure,
I won't let go, even if it's forever,
Forsake you I'll not, my door is open,

Antichrist,
