Leper's grace Watain

[00:37.63] Come close, touch the wounds that grace me
[00:41.21] Pious manchild, so keen to grasp
[00:44.78] Why your path is not my path
[00:47.16] Or why you fear the things I adore
[00:50.52] But know it is the certainty of death and its stench that I crave
[00:54.90] And that makes me want more
[00:58.36] Not your sanctimonious affirmation
[01:00.91] Nor your cage of gold
[01:04.17] No
[01:05.17]
[01:11.62] Never saw the dignity in the act to submit or conform
[01:18.27] And even less so in the willful enforcement
[01:21.39] Of guilt and of norm
[01:25.10] Never been able to understand
[01:28.17] Your voluntary slavery
[01:32.31] The true rebels I have known
[01:35.03] They broke their chains, they lived and died free
[01:39.22]
[01:45.52] Constantly in the vicinity of death and demise
[01:48.71] Eternally in mutiny against Christ (Christ, Christ)
[01:53.08] In your world so white and right
[01:54.81] I'll be the wrong, I'll be the night
[01:56.65] Your shame, my pride
[01:59.95] Beyond illusion, beyond sex and race
[02:03.06] I bow before the leper's grace
[02:07.85]
[02:27.95] Beware, ye tender hearts
[02:29.78] Satanic force of darkness
[02:31.53] A tumor that festers in the godhead
[02:35.22] Wild and free, our work must be
[02:36.73] A cultivation of evil
[02:39.18] To sting, to twist and stir
[02:42.74] Blessed by the rabid curse
[02:47.20]
[02:59.51] Outcast, exiled and banished
[03:03.13] Deep in night forlorn
[03:06.34] Where demons chant
[03:09.48] At the leper's throne
[03:14.01]
[03:32.87] Rising from the slums of Sodom
[03:36.26] The rank stench of love gone vile
[03:39.10] Up into the halls of heaven
[03:42.83] Beware, ye clean, of the unclean
[03:49.78]
[03:53.48] In your world of peace and light
[03:55.26] We are the filth, we are the fight
[03:57.06] On these fields we are the scythe
[04:00.13] Now kiss the blisters upon the face
[04:03.25] Of rotting death, the leper's grace
[04:08.34]
