In the Absence ov Light [English translation]

Ever since the Devil breathes

My steps never outweighed the gravity of hell

So I keep praying for rain of flaming rocks

To foster the symmetry of worlds

I had a vision of the impenetrable darkness

Never found on either side of the moon

It wields composure of my soul

That comes as one with the odium below...

Chant the psalm

Non serviam1

Retrieve the pride

Within and without

I reject any order, any concept

I do not trust any abstraction, doctrine

Do not believe nor in God, nor in Mind2!

Enough of those Gods! Give me a human!

Let him be, like me, obscure, immature

Partially completed, dark and unclear

I to dance with him! Play with him! Struggle with him

Before of him I will pretend! Simper to him!

And rape him, make love therein, at him3

Create myself constantly anew, him to grow and while growing

I will be giving marriage to myself in the church of man!

I imagined the most ardent ray of sun

Like vulture hovering above my neck

It burns with fever deep within my soul

Erect in gloria4 to sin(k) into shame

Oh Lord, whence came this doubt?

Thou doth know I am all and everything

Let loose my shackles

Let chaos reign

Infecting moral arteries...

Chant the psalm

And shall ton serve

Retrieve the pride

Within and without

1. I won't serve2. Reason3. To make sex at his body4. Glory
