Abraxas

[Lyrics by Thomas Karlsson] [Music by Christofer Johnsson] Eros and Thanatos are brances on the same old tree Rooted in the soil of shadow and light If God was separated 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 Darkness and the light Sermones ad Mortous, empty fullness Abraxas, your words is a riddle to be solved You bear the mark of Cain And you are fighting like a bird (To) free you from the egg, the egg is all the world The Sermon to the Dead A gospel to another life Hear the words of Cain, the sinner and the saint The grave is a flower And you are dying to be born Baptized by fire and you will slough your skin The sign of Abraxas The circle of the solar year Deep in the winter you'll see the sun be born
