Nile - Evil to Cast Out Evil lyrics

Speak not of the Gods to me
They listen not to the suffering
Speak not to me of divine mercy
When my eyes see only pestilence

Famine and death

Speak not to me of the profane
When the truth of our existence
Is called blasphemy and the smoke of plague
Ridden human carcasses blackens the horizon

Speak no more of wandering unclean spirit's
Lest they be called by the
Sound of their names
Speak not of forsaking the elder ones
I must now seek instead their unholy embrace

Speak instead the chants of protection
Against the coming of endless
Swarms of devouring fiends
Against the dreaded black clouds
Of churning hatred
Against the malevolence which descends
From the sky

Against countless voracious messengers
Of retribution
Swarming the innocent, and the wicked
Lest he who is lord of the demons of the wind
Of the evil spirit's which infest the air
Who layeth hold even unto death

Covereth thee with legions of winged terrors
Evil to protect thee from evil
Evil to cast out evil

Evil to protect thee from evil
Evil to cast out evil

Speak not of the Gods unto me
They hear not the screams of the dying
Evil to protect thee from evil
Evil to cast out evil
Evil to protect thee from evil
Speak not unto me of the sins of mankind
When my eyes see only the evil of the Gods

Evil to protect thee from evil
Evil to cast out evil
