    ANATHEMA LYRICS

    Pentecost III (1995)

    1. Kingdom
    2. Mine is yours to drown in (ours is the new tribe)
    3. We, the gods
    4. Pentecost III
    5. Memento Mori

    1. Kingdom

    There is a whole mountain


    And a river runs through it
    If you split my mountain wide
    You would find many rivers

    Among flocks of non-white doves


    And non-temptable mortals
    The kingdom is much more real
    And the beauty is endless

    Only when tightened beyond recall


    Is your necklace a blessing
    Leave your pearls in the sea
    You undeserved bitch
    You are not worthy of such a treasure

    My hand on your heart,


    I know there is a beating
    In this oh so bleak landscape
    There are many mountains
    .........but not do much water.

    My Kingdom

    2. Mine is yours to drown in (ours is the new tribe)

    Be smothered in life
    Listen, listen, listen
    The written word will devour you
    And burn your mind
    I'm burning your mind
    I am entering your soul
    My promise to love and caress you

    Mirrors destiny and breathes the universe

    Before Tomb ........


    (Regression)

    Taste me
    Let the angels wings close
    And shield you
    I bleed for you

    In the shadows and the recesses


    You'll find dark
    Yearn (me)
    From the dark all is revealed
    Light sheds through

    Bleed with me
    We will share the light and dark
    Together and more

    3. We, the gods

    How can you climb a mountain to kill a God?


    Why do you cross unknown lands, to kill our Gods?
    Why do you build walls.... to starve our Gods?

    Is it for the same reason you blind us?


    Is this why you punish our children?
    And rape our sisters?

    When will we drown?


    When will we burn?
    Will you die with us? I think so

    You are slicing your own wrists


    You are tearing out your own hearts
    And you are drowning your own children

    So you can end it


    ....... Or we will
    We are telling them the truth
    And revealing all your lies
    We do not need to climb a mountain
    Or to cross unknown lands.....

    ....... Because we are Gods


    And we will drown you
    We will burn your homes

    We the people, we the spirits, we the Gods.

    4. Pentecost III

    [instrumental]

    5. Memento Mori

    My life's minds plagued by lyssophobia


    In a cage solitude locks me in
    As the dark blackened walls close in on me
    Dementia strikes, there's no turning back

    Drowning in the stygian sea


    As those voices repeat to me my malediction
    Memento Mori
    Remember you must die

    A gratuitous wraith of violence


    Blots out the light of my mind
    For on this night someone must pay
    For the cost of my life

    For me to escape the curse of perdition


    This poor, weaker being must receive pain
    As you wince at the actions of my sadist ways
    And cry at the throes of your moribund state

    A Daemon issues your last rites


    Pater Noster Upto In Terra
    I break, I twist, I burn, I destroy
    Memento Mori

    As the candle of life, that burned in your heart


    Is doused by the grip of death's hand
    Asmodeus, the spirit of lust
    Bears his necrophile ways
    For the wishes of the demon in black
    My largesse in life should be immortality
    Dislike the weak, mortal humans

    But in life there's always death


    A multitude are born to be damned
    His perdisized body will burn forever
    In the scorching flames of Gehenna.
