Even Song - The Conquering Worm Lyrics

Terrible spires & monoliths

under unvanquished skies

A vast ivory-black tower

in Night's hellish-black mire



A brooding dark power

a spreading black world

Some said: It's Babylon

the abominable realm of Man



Standing tall like a steadfast giant

eclipsing the stars, usurping heavens

a phantom world in the sickening light

a vast monument of perverseness



Now We worship Satan, the Bringer Of Light

Oh you, Selfish Father, you left us on that horrid night

We forgot Eden, the Garden of Joy

our eternal life like a dream dissolved



O, God of Almighty Heavens

who will save us from perdition?

Shall our immortal vigour return

or shall we drown with the Stygian flood?
