The World
Thistle and Thorns Lyrics

The spiritual rape
The act of having one's spirituality violated and taken from them without consent

Jehova's mind pollution
The indoctrination and brainwashing tactics of the religious institution of Jehovah have led to the corruption of the mind

But nocturnal possession it breathes in me
Despite this, an uncontrollable desire for nighttime possession and rebellion resides within me

It's true love
This passion and craving for darkness, evil, and chaos is genuine

It feels like I'm alive
Engaging in these taboo desires and defying God makes me feel truly alive

I search for joy
My pursuit of pleasure and satisfaction through forbidden means

There shall never be another dawn
Once you have tasted the darkness and freedom of the night, there is no turning back to the restricting ways of the light

I have become the beast - The freedom of your soul
By fully embracing my devilish desires, I have unlocked the freedom of my soul and the primal instincts of the beast

This God of "light" - I will crush in the night
I reject the supposed God of light and seek to physically destroy it through my actions of darkness

Devastation
The destruction and chaos I leave in my wake

My charm strikes upon you
My irresistible allure and fascination with darkness draws you in

Fulfill your fate - Go against your God
Follow me and fulfill your fate of ultimate rebellion against the societal constructs of God and the light

The night is here
The time has come for us to revel in the darkness

It's breathing deep in you
The desire and instinct for evil and rebellion now resides deep within your soul as well

Feel the rush!
Experience the thrill and excitement of giving in to your primal instincts

You're in demon hands
You have given yourself over to the demonic forces and influences that I represent

Cleansed from the filth
Through indulging in forbidden desires, you have liberated yourself from the perceived filth and constraints of societal norms

A slave to the power of blood and death
You now serve and are bound to the power and influence of darkness, chaos, and death

Fight for pleasure and victory will come
By pursuing pleasure and embracing the dark side, you will find victory and fulfillment in life

Yeah - The "light" has raped your soul
The controlling and restrictive nature of the light has taken advantage of and violated your soul

Retribution through my world within
I offer a form of retribution for the spiritual rape experienced through my world of darkness and rebellion

The militia of death
The army of those who embrace death as a natural part of life and a symbol of rebellion

It starts to rise - Ready to explode
The movement and influence of the death-driven rebellion is rapidly growing and ready to break out

Kill "yourself" and come with me
Reject your previous self and renounce the light in order to join the rebellion

I've got the cure
Embracing the darkness and rebellion is the cure to the spiritual and mental sickness caused by the light

The power to eras your God
Through my rebellion, I have the power to destroy the institutionalized construct of God and the light

- Erase your God!
An exclamation to destroy and eliminate the belief in God and the light

I have sterilized the cross
My rebellion has taken the once powerful symbol of purity and sterilized it to mean nothing in my world

The violation of "his" dream
I have defiled God's supposed dream of unity and peace in favor of my own vision of chaos and darkness

And I have darkified the souls of purity
By embracing darkness and rebellion, I have corrupted that which was once pure and holy

This mercyful death - The neverending harmony
Embracing death as a mercy and a natural part of life, leads to the never-ending harmonization of the physical world with the spiritual

Your eyes glow so red
The embrace of darkness and rebellion has physically manifested itself in the red glow of your eyes

And slowly you accept what you have become
Through gradual acceptance of darkness and rebellion, you come to terms with the new version of yourself and all that it represents

The hunger of evil - The instinct of our glory
The hunger for darkness, for rebellion, for breaking free from religious constraints, is the true sign of our inner glory

this society of Christ brings out the Devil in us
The societal constructs of Christ and the light are what provoke our natural desire to rebel and embrace our dark side

Now you've ripped the angels above
You have rejected the supposed guardians of good and purity in favor of the darkness and rebellion

Created your own world within
Through embracing darkness and rebellion, you have created your own set of beliefs and principles to live by

Spark of death
Death is not something to be feared but rather a powerful motivating force for life

It starts to rise - Ready to explode
The desire for rebellion and destruction grows stronger and is about to burst forth

You killed "yourself" - You came with me
You have forsaken your previous self and joined the rebellion against the light

together we shall burn what's left of...
The light and all of its constructs and beliefs will be burned and destroyed in our wake

nothingness
Meaninglessness and lack of purpose is what remains in the wake of the destruction of the light
