Aphelion Rites Lyrics

Fall
Wretched Star
In congress with famine and war
Call down the Devil’s hammer
To pound and dismantle and crash upon St. Peter’s door.


the age of Aphelion
Redeem us in the sight of the lunar eye
Bring forth the age of Aphelion
Unending winter of absent light

For I have witnessed
The fall of man
For I was promised
An end to all

Welcome the child of silent birth
Torn from the womb
The blood of the whore
Called from the lips of the ancient ones.
First kings of the earth. The rulers of ash.

The age of the slave is a fleeting one.
Flush with disease, the weakness of prey.

Aphelion Rites

For I have witnessed
the fall of man
For I was promised
An end to all.

Welcome the child of silent birth
Torn from the womb
The blood of the whore
Called from the lips of the ancient ones
First kings of the earth, the rulers of ash.

Aphelion Rites.
