I Am the Earth - Watain

He lives through me

All of what I am

The needle of Hamartia

Injected in the flesh of man

With the soul of a carrion;

Sleeping, yet awake

For underneath this skin

Crawls Eden’s cursed Snake

Hic est draco caudam suam devorans!

You may have felt its cold

Carressing down your spine

Gently yet with strength

And with a morbid touch

For its real shape is a razor

Smeared with the Devil’s seed

And infected with its plague

Are the scars from which I bleed

I am the Earth

Chained to horns

Its ground is my flesh

Pierced by Holy thorns

I am the Earth

Burning deep within

Its water is my blood

Blackened by my sins

Swallowed by His mystery

Lost within its maze

The bridges behind they burn

From the pyres of Hell’s grace

One after another

The stars fade into black

He has called my name

There is no way back…

Pierced by His will

Trapped within His lair

My flesh shall be the sign

Of that fires are to fear

For those who walk upon me

Shall be punished for their turns

I am the Earth

And within me the Devil burns!

I am the Earth

In the shadow of the Lord

A crucifix of flesh

Yet sinfully adored

I am the Earth

As your life with me does blend

For I am His truth;

The world without end…

The world without end
