lyrics

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

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.
