Ihsahn
Malediction
[Verse 1]
Sacrilege, profanity
Rabid convulsion of blasphemy
Thus appear my venomous cries to your ears
Were they truths or were they lies?
Rejection, eternal tyranny of denial
I would surely burn myself at the stake
Were my demons the spawn
Of your lusts and perversions?

[Verse 2]
Parasite, mundane creed
Dispassionate, betrayal
In times of moral crisis
The darkest places in hell
Are reserved for the neutral
And so you earn my contempt, my enmity, malediction
Though my path be that of thorns
The way of my affliction is the way to myself

[Bridge]
The devil will not let me go
Though I do not mind
Through fiery lakes to where cold rivers flow
I honour the contract I signed
[Verse 3]
Sacrilege, profanity
Rabid convulsion of blasphemy
Thus appear my venomous cries to your ears
Were they truths or were they lies
Rejection, eternal tyranny of denial
I would surely burn myself at the stake
Were my demons the spawn
Of your lusts and perversions

[Ad lib]
No, the devil will not let me go
And I never did mind
Through fiery lakes to where cold rivers flow
With pleasure I honour the contract I signed
