paroles de chanson As He Creates so He Destroys (Instrumental) - Nile

At the seething and fiery center
He sits upon his ebon throne
Within his halls of darkness
Which no man has seen and survived the vision
Both blind and bereft of mind
He pipes unceasingly on his reed flute
And the notes that rise and fall in measured patterns
Are the foundations of all the worlds
Ever calculating in sound the structure of space and time
Were his flute ever to suddenly fall silent
All the spheres would shatter into one another
And the myriads of worlds would be unmade
As they were before creation
The flute of the blind idiot
Both makes and unmakes the worlds
In ceaseless combinations
Spinning on the woven carpet of time
No creation without destruction
No destruction without creation
To unmake a thing is to make another
Each time a thing is made another is destroyed
The idiot god on his black throne does not choose
What shall rise into being and what should pass away
He cares only to maintain his mindless unholy music
Of random creation and destruction
No living creature can look upon his face
And endure its terrible heat and black radiance
That is like the reverberating unseen rays of molten iron
Which strike and burn the skin of those who would dare
Gaze into the countenance of the idiot god
Never does he receive supplicants
In his black halls of uncouth angles
Nor does he ever hear prayers or answer them
Endlessly he pipes
And endlessly he devours his own substance
For his hunger is insatiable
As he consumes his own wastes
After the custom of idiots
As the god creates so he destroys
As the god destroys so he creates
As the god destroys so he creates
As the god creates so he destroys
