Nile - As He Creates So He Destroys lyrics

[Nile - As He Creates So He Destroys lyrics]

At the seething and fiery center
He sit's upon his ebon throne
Within his halls of darkness
Which no man has seen and survived the vision

Both blind and bereft of mind
He pipes unceasingly on his reed flute
And the notes that rise and
Fall in measured patterns
Are the foundations of all the worlds
Ever calculating in sound the structure
Of space and time

Were his flute ever to suddenly fall silent
All the spheres would shatter
Into one another and the myriads of worlds
Would be unmade as they were before creation

The flute of the blind idiot
Both makes and unmakes the
Worlds in ceaseless combinations


Spinning on the woven carpet of time

No creation without destruction
No destruction without creation

To unmake a thing is to make another
Each time a thing is made
Another is destroyed

The idiot god on his black throne
Does not choose what shall rise into being
And what should pass away
He cares only to maintain
His mindless unholy music of
Random creation and destruction

No living creature can look upon his face
And endure it's terrible heat
And black radiance
That is like the reverberating unseen
Rays of molten iron
Which strike and burn the skin
Of those who would dare
Gaze into the countenance of the idiot god

Never does he receive supplicants
In his black halls of uncouth
Angles and strange doors
Nor does he ever hear prayers or answer them
Endlessly he pipes
And endlessly he devours his own substance
For his hunger is insatiable
As he consumes his own wastes
After the custom of idiots

As the god creates so he destroys
As the god destroys so he creates
As the god destroys so he creates
As the god creates so he destroys
As he creates so he destroys
As he creates so he destroys
As he creates so he destroys
As he creates so he destroys
