Confessing a Murder - Sabbath Assembly

A fainting chant — arise and multiply

Majestic resonance, echo, crumbling to dust

My sin, the sin for which I’m greatly cursed

The pagan screech from the beat of raven’s wings

Resounds against the star-encrusted sky

So Rise, O Man, stand up and be joyful

For pain you shall have in abundance

The only time of peace is when we’re at war

Bringing death to a life

That will die for torture

Those who cry, «Please, we never wished it so!»

They shall be the first to die

When the rivers finally cease to flow

But with the blood you cried to receive

And the land gives nothing but the bodies

Of the slain who did try

To escape through a locked window

He weeps, laments, surrenders all his miracles

Quickly, come out of the shadow of the Cross

Has fate snuck in and mounted upon my body?

Sadly something in my heart does not wish to be cured

Far beyond heaven and earth

Empty space comes to an end

This I confess to you

When will we finally be satisfied?

Only with the light of battle in our eyes

Our revolution is against the inhumane world

I feel poisoned — I die in your arms

Send my soul through twilight to heaven

This is like confessing a murder
