Left Hand Path Song Lyrics

[Jacksnyte]

Thought it might be interesting to post our favorite song lyrics with a decidedly LHP slant to them. I'll kick it off with this:

Lords Prayer

(T.V. Smith)
This is the Lord's prayer
This is the Lord's prayer
There's no saviour out there
There ain't no one else who cares
Don't look to me for absolution
There ain't no clandestine solution
Life's a crime of passion
Designed for direct action
There ain't no justice out there
This is the Lord's prayer
Without each other we're nowhere
This is the Lord's prayer
The lamb's been slaughtered
War's been declared
This is the Lord's prayer
Only the devil may care
This is the Lord's prayer
What we need is strength of purpose
To reverse all they thought us
If prejudice is all you learned in school
It's up to us to break the rules
I'll recruit a ragged army
Before I let your hatred scar me
There ain't no justice out there
This is the Lord's prayer
Without each other we're nowhere
This is the Lord's prayer
The lamb's been slaughtered
War's been declared
This is the Lord's prayer
Only the devil, only the devil may care
This is the Lord's prayer
Nobody's gonna help you fight your fears
Better start livin' while you're still here
I heard God screaming through his tears
he said I ain't comin'
I ain't comin'
Save yourself
There ain't no saviour out there
Your stairway to heaven leads nowhere
Don't look to me for emancipation
You are your only salvation
There ain't no justice out there
This is the Lord's prayer
Without each other we're nowhere
This is the Lord's prayer
The lamb's been slaughtered
War's been declared
This is the Lord's prayer
Only the devil may care
This is the Lord's prayer
No love or war was ever fair
This is the Lord's prayer
Said I ain't comin', save yourself
This is the Lord's prayer
He said I ain't comin', well save yourself
This is the Lord's prayer
Well I ain't comin', I ain't comin', save yourself save yourself
This is the Lord's prayer
I ain't comin', I ain't comin'
This is the Lord's prayer
I ain't comin', I ain't comin'
This is the Lord's prayer
I ain't comin', I ain't comin'
This is the Lord's prayer
I ain't comin'
Save yourself
This is the Lord's prayer

You can not petition the Lord with prayer! -- Jim Morrison, Soft Parade

 

[Jacksnyte]

Dimmu Borgir
The Sacrilegious Scorn
Have I not
Been too long in the shadows of invention and creation
As I rightfully behold the flesh
Fear of the conscious mind will have you facing away

My word and world holds ground and is real
Your word is like floods of poisoned water
A language spoken with spit from different tongues

It all seems like an eternity
This battle between us two
"Good and evil"
Me and you

Time has come to step up
And take back what you took from me

My word and world holds ground and is real
Your word is like floods of poisoned water
A language spoken with spit from different tongues
You can never corrupt me again

Time has come to step up
And take back what you took from me
You can never corrupt me again

I protect every man guilty of sin
The ultimate sin being me
The vapor from the plague
That infested my mind, body and soul
Obscured my view from wisdom
The mist that had me wonder in resentment cleared
And troubles me no more

 

[Jacksnyte]

The Writ
Black Sabbath

The way I feel is the way I am
I wish I'd walked before I started to run to you
Just to you

What kind of people do you think we are?
Another joker who's a rock and roll star for you
Just for you

The faithful image of another man
The endless ocean of emotion I swam for you
Yeah, for you

your sword and sheild was laying down on the floor
i wish they'd fallen into my private world with you
Yeah, with you

Are you metal, are you man
You've changed a lot since you began
Yeah, began

Ladies digging gold from you
Will they still dig now you're through
Yeah you're through

You bought and sold me with your lying words
The voices in the dark that you never heard came true
Yeah came true

Your fallen phallic god dismembered and gone
A poison father with his poisonous son, that's you
Yeah, that's you

I beg you please don't let it get any worse
The anger I once had has turned to a curse on you
Yeah, curse you

All of the promises that never came true
You're gonna get what is coming to you, that's true
Ah, that's true

Are you Satan are you man
You've changed in life since it began
It began

Vultures sucking gold from you
Will they still suck now you're through

(Cats, Rats)

The search is on so you just better run
And find yourself another way
Rob the dead, they don't feel a thing
Leave the living for another day

(Rats, Rat)

You are nonentity, you have no destiny
You are a figment of a thing unknown
A mental picture of a stolen soul
The fornication of your golden throne

A smiling face it means the world to me
So tired of sadness and of misery

My life it started some time ago
Where it will end, I don't know
I thought I was so good
I thought I was so smart
I feel my world is being torn apart

But everything is gonna work out fine
If it don't, I think I'll lose my mind

I know, I know, I know, yeah yeah I know
Listen to me while I sing this song
You might just think the words are wrong
Too many people advising me
But they don't know what my eyes see

But everything is gonna work out fine
If it don't I'm gonna blow my mind

Upon the Rainbow (Befrost) by Happy The Man

Befrost, the ancient rainbow
Settled into view this day
Arching thru the aether and the aire
Throwing the sun into our stares
In many colors

Befrost, the oldest bridge
Made aware the stranger
That the mind must be the way to bridge the sky
Step into the light
The stranger climbs
Upon the rainbow

There he floats in colors and threes
The voices all about him
Singing
All singing

Listen to the sound, little man,
The light is all inside you

He hears them
He listens
Sun
Sun shine
Oh blue, blue light
Oh, sound, hear the sound

An old man's face parts the cloudy creation
And cringes forward
To speak
To speak
Say onward, young fool
If you fear what you're thinking
You fear none other than you

He laughs and climbs
In colors and threes
The sun holds his hand to guide him
Sing
All singing
Listen to the sound, little man
The light is all inside you

He hears them
He
He hears them
The sun
Sunshine
Oh blue, blue light
Oh sound
See the sound

Behemoth - At the Left Hand ov God
o, Serpent and Lion!
I invoke Thee!
inside the shrine called life
by the seven wonders
by myriad mortals
that gone
and are to come
outside!
outside desert ov restriction
in act ov rebellion
on the sea ov motion
stability ov matter
by serenity, strength and beauty
by the mighty chant ov every breath

in serpentine dance ov blood cells
in simplicity ov spells
divine names, meta-games
I greet Thy presence

oh Snake! Thou art God!
coiled underneath my throne
with Thee I reunite
with blood we make this covenant
myself I redefine
look in and above:
there is more than the flesh
look careful and Thou may see
the unextinguished flame
the nectar ov Thy rage
I taste from the cup ov fornication
and woman by my side
and scarlet is her skin
she's eager to rise
and so eager to please

another day
another eternity gone
and on the stairway to salvation
I walk alone among the falling stars
looking for company
where art Thou?
oh, lacerate ones!

arise! my sweetest friend
or be forever fallen
we have finally arrived
from prison ov this life
to Kali's womb
down to the earth
as angels ov almighty god-
Chaos!
'tis our last fall
to touch our mother whore
the harlot ov the saints
that spits on the rotten cross
incinerate the icon
the symbol ov all loss
to stand straight
at the left hand ov god

Samael! be Thou my ally!
join me among the bright hosts
wondering neither way ov light
nor darkness
ov which seed
sprouts dispassionately
in the summer ov my life

 

[Orias]

Dimmu Borgir
A Jewel Traced Through Coal

Through moors and mists of deception
The uninitiated are conjoined
Illusive bliss feeds obsession
A feeble orientation is provoked

Inflammatory bonds will be broken
Being the shepherd no more
Yearning for that ever glowing token
In ongoing lore

Images appear before my eyes
At any given time
Burdened bearing all their lies
Leaping laughter and secret smiles

Inflammatory bonds will be broken
Being the shepherd no more
Yearning for that ever glowing token
In ongoing lore

The treasure lies not in regression
But in reaching the levels of becoming
That harboured within us for centuries
Centuries of long lost knowing

Spirit and matter defined
Spirit and matter refined

The upper planes accessed
Insight and co-alliance addressed
Spirit and matter defined
Spirit and matter refined

The Tempting Inferno
Lyrics by Orias


Indeed Nature’s fury is upon us
As I feel and hear the ground quake at night
With blessing let it unfold so it may shine
To test those of purity

As the dust falls
Its spirits speak of horror
And the faces that do not seek divinity
But alas, thou mustn’t quiver before its lifting mask

As the silent voices guide you
Seek not forgiveness
But insurrection
And break the silence within

Repentance, oh not
Misery’s shadow has been cast upon thine’s face
Only with acceptance of who you are
Will you ascend to divinity and beyond

Care not of what the world cares for
Because it is not you
Desire more than what they have fed you
And create bliss worth of damning (envy)
Then His infernal might, may be your blessing

Sympathy For the Devil
Rolling Stones

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith

And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the Czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the Blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
(woo woo, woo woo)

I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
(woo woo, woo woo)

I shouted out,
"Who killed the Kennedy's?"
When after all
It was you and me
(who who, who who)

Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
(woo woo, who who)

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
(who who)
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
(who who, who who)

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
(woo woo, who who)

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
(who who, who who)

So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, have some taste
(woo woo)
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, mmm yeah
(woo woo, woo woo)

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, mmm yeah
(who who)
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, mmm mean it, get down
(woo woo, woo woo)

Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!
(woo woo)

Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name
Tell me baby, what's my name
I tell you one time, you're to blame

Oh, who
woo, woo
Woo, who
Woo, woo
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Oh, yeah

What's my name
Tell me, baby, what's my name
Tell me, sweetie, what's my name

Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Oh, yeah
Woo woo
Woo woo

Lucifer Sam
the Pink Floyd

Lucifer Sam, Siam cat
Always sitting by your side
Always by your side
That cat's something I can't explain

Jennifer Gentle you're a witch
You're the left side
He's the right side
Oh no
That cat's something I can't explain

Lu-ci-fer go to sea
Be a hip cat
Be a ship's cat
Somewhere, anywhere
That cat's something I can't explain

Night prowling, sifting sand
Padding around on the ground
He'll be found
When you're around
That cat's something I can't explain

Gloria-Patti Smith

Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine
Meltin' in a pot of thieves
Wild card up my sleeve
Thick heart of stone
My sins my own
They belong to me, me

People say 'beware!'
But I don't care
The words are just
Rules and regulations to me, me

I-i walk in a room, you know I look so proud
I'm movin' in this here atmosphere, well, anything's allowed
And I go to this here party and I just get bored
Until I look out the window, see a sweet young thing
Humpin' on the parking meter, leanin' on the parking meter
Oh, she looks so good, oh, she looks so fine
And I got this crazy feeling and then I'm gonna ah-ah make her mine
Ooh I'll put my spell on her

Here she comes
Walkin' down the street
Here she comes
Comin' through my door
Here she comes
Crawlin' up my stair
Here she comes
Waltzin' through the hall
In a pretty red dress
And oh, she looks so good, oh, she looks so fine
And I got this crazy feeling that I'm gonna ah-ah make her mine

And then I hear this knockin' on my door
Hear this knockin' on my door
And I look up into the big tower clock
And say, 'oh my God here's midnight!'
And my baby is walkin' through the door
Leanin' on my couch she whispers to me and I take the big plunge
And oh, she was so good and oh, she was so fine
And I'm gonna tell the world that I just ah-ah made her mine

And I said darling, tell me your name, she told me her name
She whispered to me, she told me her name
And her name is, and her name is, and her name is, and her name is g-l-o-r-i-a
G-l-o-r-i-a gloria g-l-o-r-i-a gloria
G-l-o-r-i-a gloria g-l-o-r-i-a gloria

I was at the stadium
There were twenty thousand girls called their names out to me
Marie and ruth but to tell you the truth
I didn't hear them I didn't see
I let my eyes rise to the big tower clock
And I heard those bells chimin' in my heart
Going ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong.
Ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong
Counting the time, then you came to my room
And you whispered to me and we took the big plunge
And oh. you were so good, oh, you were so fine
And I gotta tell the world that I make her mine make her mine
Make her mine make her mine make her mine make her mine

G-l-o-r-i-a gloria g-l-o-r-i-a gloria g-l-o-r-i-a gloria,
G-l-o-r-i-a gloria

And the tower bells chime, 'ding dong' they chime
They're singing, 'jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine.'

Gloria g-l-o-r-i-a gloria g-l-o-r-i-a gloria g-l-o-r-i-a,
Gloria g-l-o-r-i-a, g-l-o-r-i-a gloria g-l-o-r-i-a gloria
G-l-o-r-i-a gloria g-l-o-r-i-a gloria g-l-o-r-i-a gloria,
G-l-o-r-i-a gloria g-l-o-r-i-a gloria g-l-o-r-i-a gloria,
G-l-o-r-i-a gloria g-l-o-r-i-a gloria g-l-o-r-i-a gloria .
