I am the cloven Irreverence aflame Performer of arts most unclean Throat of the coven Caller of his name And bell for the cult to convene I am damnation’s arrival I am sacrilege I am the Devil’s disciple I am! I am the witch I swore my oaths in a circle of rats Anointed in blood of menstruation Drank from the chalice of hemlock at mass With Satan I am debasement Sedition and sin Brewer of mixtures and poison Wielder of ailments Of tissue and skin And marvels apostates rejoice in I am damnation’s arrival I am sacrilege I am the Devil’s disciple I am! I am the witch I carve in my body his sulphurous seal And fornicate with demons Bask in the glory of secrets revealed Baptised and blessed with their semen Exalter of vermin Dissenter of God I am iniquity sainted Wet nurse of serpents Usurer of blood And master of all that is tainted I am damnation’s arrival I am sacrilege I am the Devil’s disciple I am! I am the witch

Heed us! we call upon you Satan Our voices howling in the storm Grant us the rule of uncreation The power to unmake and reform Viciously, maliciously profoundly sacrilegiously We sing to thee our litany On this Walpurgis night Debauchery and sorcery And bestial deformity In unity on mountains three In one infernal rite From Brocken hear our incantations From Hekla hear our mania rise Hearken from Lyderhorn The pounding of our drums As all our blasphemies unite Unseen, unclean Unthreading of creation’s seam Unstill until Unrelenting force of will Unfolds untold Unleashing of death thousand-fold Unmasked, untasked Uncreation rise At last By fluids and nauseating fetor Undressed our sacrifice’s begun To crumble the gilded seat of Peter And render the Holy See undone Arduous, laborious On mind and body torturous We kneel and offer all of us To fornicate with fiends Contemptuous, tempestuous And carnally incestuous Witches along sorcerers To make the angels bleed Unseen, unclean Unthreading of creation’s seam Unstill until Unrelenting force of will Unfolds untold Unleashing of death thousand-fold Unmasked, untasked Uncreation rise At last

A twisting, writhing, naked swarm An orgy in your name A screaming dance in frantic trance Around a sacred pyre aflame A sacrilegious sabbath nigh Of tissue, flesh and skin Upon May Eve we shall receive Twice or more the blessings for our mortal sin I carve your secret marks Deep into my flesh To consecrate the skin That I torment and thresh I anoint my body In fluids most obscene Expose my sex to heaven As I call to thee Now cast your gaze upon my face Exalt me with your sinful grace As in my daze I sing your praise And laud you in so many ways For seven days the music plays As we all dance in violent craze Through toxic haze and fiery blaze We all your will and power chase Your hand that weighs, your hand that flays That guides us through the earthly maze Grant us a taste, grant us a place To share in your revered disgrace Lord of the flesh The fast approaching witching hour Calls us to your feast The blessed goat of blackest coat Foul and squirming with disease Demands that everyone joins in The eating of its flesh Lymph nodes and malignant growths To spread the seed and cull the weak To start afresh Blessings of contagion Released upon the world In the name of Satan The new order unfurled A cleansing of the earth To pester and molest The order of the worm Nursed upon her breast

In the dead of night In the graveyard By a pallid lantern Collecting parts Finger of a thief Soil of graves Jaw of unwed maiden And mandrake All I strew before me Carve up, crush and grind Whisper curses hoary And mix with bread and wine Mandragora Wine of frenzied nightmare wails Distalphalanx Bread with flakes of bone and nails Premolares Choke on shards of splintered teeth Lumbricidæ Vomit soil and worms beneath All the items chosen Finally defiled In the hollowed totem Of a stillborn child Buried by the steeple Stuffed with hay and grass Closed with thread and needle Complete for Sunday mass Mandragora Wine of frenzied nightmare wails Distalphalanx Bread with flakes of bone and nails Premolares Choke on shards of splintered teeth Lumbricidæ Vomit soil and worms beneath Mandragora Wine of frenzied nightmare wails Distalphalanx Bread with flakes of bone and nails Premolares Choke on shards of splintered teeth Lumbricidæ Vomit soil and worms beneath

In chambers dark the cult convenes And toils without a sound To darken day and brighten night Turn year and trice around We choke the lamb on bleeding flesh The wolf on grass and straw We magnify the feeble draught And stifle storms by force By scorching ice and freezing flame We force creation’s hand By whispered chant and shouted prayer By sorcery’s demand We starve alive and feed to death We twist the world awry For nature vexed is nature bare Uncovered by her cries We pluck the wings off angels To study through mirror and glass And open their chests To measure their hearts The heavenly host unmasked Witchery and curses, the sacrifice of blood The will of man to always stand Against the will of God Confided in by Satan, given of his might To blind the eye, reveal the lie And master nature’s plight Surpassers of divine intent To know what’s deemed unknown With seething cauldrons, spite distilled We rival God alone Our lungs ablaze with mercury Our breath a noxious fume Our children birthed by poisoned seed Into a toxic womb Witchery and curses, the sacrifice of blood The will of man to always stand Against the will of God Confided in by Satan, given of his might To blind the eye, reveal the lie And master nature’s plight By heresy and sacrilege We forge our own salvation A bar before damnation’s door A passkey into heaven And meet by mastery of earth Our maker face to face To watch him drink the poisoned cup And finally upon his seat light all his deeds Ablaze

Come all ye faithless And hearken the words of my voice By witchcraft and curses nameless You’ll remake the earth, so rejoice Follow the stream of bodily fluids Retread my steps to the east Through Carpathian gating Into a school of sin Directed and taught by Satan himself With nine further students within Monument of sin’s foundation College of the blackest arts Academy of dread creation Archives of forbidden charts First matriculated by bloodletting And child sacrifice Then meticulously taught To master sorcery and vice Last on hand and forehead anointed In bile and vitriol To grant entrance to the deepest Hollows of Domdaniel But only nine may leave One the Devil excise So hence ensure to achieve Lest ye become the price Monument of sin’s foundation College of the blackest arts Academy of dread creation Archives of forbidden charts So come all ye faithless And study to be God

Friars, priests, kings and judges All are mere dolls to our Lord All their power in his clutches For tribulations and reward And so the lords of earth enthralled Now saw the witches’ rule of all And that their own would fade and pall And thus in them he would instill A hunger deep for ails and ill Towards his own to hunt and kill A trial of the will They tried to find our hidden markings They made us read aloud their prayer They tested us by our drowning And scolding iron we would bear But we’re of trickery and mettle And lies are ever in our breath And defiled by his devils Can suffer anything but death Atop the Judas cradle Astride the anguish pear Far stretched upon a table And on the iron chair Their final measure was by fire As thousands innocent were gone A dire purge on the pyre But even then we would taunt: Tongues of fire, tongues of fire With every word my voice grows higher Breathe the word, breathe the word From lungs ablaze my voice is heard Tongues of fire, tongues of fire I call upon the names most dire Breathe the word, breathe the word And exhale spells most grave on earth Thus it was through the ages But our suffering is past Now we stand more tenacious And our coven has grown vast

They gather round the natal bed The foolish and the wise They fear the child yet to be born Whose voice shall rend the skies The faithful watch the forest for The coming of the King With lanterns bright, await at night The end of everything The princess’s in the tower ever Hidden far away But nothing under heaven wrought can Keep the groom at bay They gather round with leering smiles The soulless and the dead Though she unwinds, the cruelest minds Will keep her in her bed The cretin moon no more is howling Gone its mourning black In their dreams its face is prowling Come to take them back The King is in his courting clothes The brides are in their beds The unborn princes wait in sleep To raise their eager heads Six were broken by their bindings Six no more shall sing Comes the seventh full unwinding All the bells will ring When the first had given birth The birds no more would sing Her screaming cries would shake the skies As she called out for her King By doctor’s blade the second bade A life into the world Untimely hewn ´neath silent moon And out of life was hurled His bride the third remained unheard Her cries for help ignored She stopped her life with surgeon’s knife And gave it to Our Lord The fourth prepared a dagger sharp And placed it at her heart The perfect cure cannot make pure What Kings have set apart The fifth one’s crown was bearing down Upon her troubled head Their rite of ail would smite and fail Once more creation bled On the sixth’s day, the walls gave way The oceans turned to ash The heavy toll on caring souls Almost let the King pass The seventh bride will break the tides The moon no more will shine There comes a day not far away She’ll birth the death of time

about

Witchcult Copenhagen, Denmark

WITCHCULT is a Danish black metal group originally concieved in 2014 by Besat, Spedalsk and Benedictus on guitars, vocals and drums respectively.

The music is a blasphemous unity of the violent and the vicious, the sinister and the sepulchral. It was concieved to reflect the liturgical format of the lyrics, devoted to Satan and the way of the witch, each a cantata in a sacrament in his name.
