Prime Mover Lyrics by Ghost

Opus Eponymous

2010

[Verse 1: Papa Emeritus I]
Clad in cloak, secretive nun
Bearing the old ones' bastard son
A varicose phallus obsessed an' poised her
Cast a veil of dusk upon the cloister

[Chorus: Papa Emeritus I]
Prime mover, maternal slave
With child of her grave

[Bridge: Papa Emeritus I]
Mother, filth in her womb
Father, waiting in tomb
Sathanas, Anti-Christ, spiritus non sancti

[Verse 2: Papa Emeritus I]
Selected heir, machinery insect
The bloodline of the dark architect
Toxic blood of not known birth
Antichrist will walk the earth

[Chorus: Papa Emeritus I]
Prime mover, maternal slave
Prime mover, maternal slave
With child of her grave
