Inner Sanctum Lyrics by Behemoth

The Apostasy

2007

[Background Lead: Nergal]

[Verse 1]
Split my skin, fuck my wounds
Desecrate the Inner Sanctum in which I hide
Drag me through the mud, blind my whitening eyes
That I may see darkness in the tunnels ov light

[Pre-Chorus]
Pain I cannot deny (As I rot in this empty shell)
Swamped in disaffection (Introducing to my newborn hell)

[Chorus]
Be it not so!
Thou shall see me not in agony
Failure was and is no option
'Tis my undying self
The ever wandering son ov the morn
Abandoned, yet never to be conquered

[Verse 2]
I never mourn, I never look back as long as Thy phosphoric rays
Grant me more pleasure than pain
I, who is evil can receive no good
Though I still crave, I'm yearning for
Thy healing touch ov grace...

[Pre-Chorus]
Pain is timeless (When I question the laws ov god)
Drowned in everlasting confusion (Caress my hate against the mob)

[Chorus]
Be it not so!
Thou shall see me not in agony
Failure was and is no option
'Tis my undying self
The ever wandering son ov the morn
Abandoned, yet never to be conquered
The opponent!
My life's work is complete...
