summanus - the devil’s name is lazarus lyrics

i. into the void, i condemn my spirit

“farewell happy fields
where joy for ever dwells
hail horrors, hail infernal world
and thou profoundest h+ll
receive thy new possessor
one who brings a mind
not to be changed by place or time
trhe mind is its own place
and in itself can make a heaven of h+ll
a h+ll of heaven”

nine times the sp+ce
that measures day and night
i fell, like an anvil, headfirst
from the beautiful surfaces on cloud nine
facedown, for what felt like an eternity
on and on, into these terrible depths
this ninth circle of h+ll
ten leagues beneath the bottomless pits
of this abyss, staring back
with nothing but contempt for me

d+mnation, deliverance
the resemblance is a tragedy
into the void, i condemn my spirit
a leap of faith from the edge of my sanity
thus spake sisyphus
let the dead raise the dead
the devil’s name, it is lazarus
thus spake sisyphus
let the dead raise the dead
the devil’s name, it is lazarus

the second coming of narcissus
once upon a borrowed time
i was my own personal judas
a professional jesus christ
unsung, reluctant war hero of the underworld
a villain’s journey of a thousand witch trials
unholier than thou
like patronizing saints my demons testify
before a jury of my fears
witnesses for the persecution

thus spake sisyphus
let the dead raise the dead
the devil’s name, it is lazarus
thus spake sisyphus
let the dead raise the dead
the devil’s name, it is lazarus

d+mnation, deliverance
the resemblance is a f+cking tragedy
into the void, i condemn my spirit
a leap of faith from the edge of my sanity
ii. all that withers here is hope

a fugitive from my judgment
born again into captivity
i saw the writing on the wall
it spelled it out for me
in the birthmarks of my hesitation
the certainty of my doom
the uncertainty of my destiny
the absurdity of my fate
an exhausting exercise in my futility

i hang with the brittle strength of my bones
like a savior in this garden of davidian stones
growing fat with envy
on the true vine of sodom
a paradise of loss in pandemonium
oh, grave, cruel world
all that withers here is hope

a via dolorosa
i dance with shiva in these temples of immensity
like a daniel i don’t know from adam
rushing to the rescue of angels in distress
harlots of earthly demise
nestled like liars in their dens
sailing onward
i brave the tidal flames of a deep blue sea
raging like phlegethon
as maiden voyages and armadas of shipwrecks
are anchored to the bl++dy shores
of an ancient dragon reddened with my gore

iii. let the dead raise the dead

the devil’s name, it is lazarus
into the void, i condemn my spirit
all that withers here is hope
thus spake sisyphus
let the dead raise the dead to navigate
the labyrinths of this existence

territorial preachers
tragic frauds and the pillars of their faith, shaking
like tremors in the hands of an anxious god
in the myths of my creation, an apocalypse
revelations in the chapters and the verses of my genesis

wh0res of attrition
skins of omission
taking my name in vain
but i am a leper
and i cannot change my sores out of anger and jealousy

thus spake sisyphus
let the dead raise the dead
the devil’s name, it is lazarus
thus spake sisyphus
let the dead raise the dead
the devil’s name, it is lazarus

d+mnation, deliverance
the resemblance is a tragedy
into the void, i condemn my spirit
a leap of faith from the edge of my sanity

the devil’s name, it is lazarus
into the void, i condemn my spirit
all that withers here is hope
thus spake sisyphus

let the dead raise the dead to navigate
the labyrinths of this existence
let the dead raise the dead to navigate
the labyrinths of this existence
