ABRAXAS Eros and Thanatos are brances on the same old tree Rooted in the soil of shadow and

light If God was seperated from the dark twin, the Devil Could he ever know the soul of mankind? We want a new god called Abraxas! Enter the Pleroma and see that nothingless is all And you must destroy a world to be born Alpha and Omega are the beginning and the end United in the shape of Abraxas

The Sphinx burst into tears And pyramids are shaking The precipice is close When Pharao is losing his faith Visions of madness led the Pharaon astray The portents were too ominous Until this day his curse is still the plague of man We must defeat the only God Refrain Apep will rise Apep will come
