Deathspell Omega

Si Monumentum Requires Circumspice

Si momumentum Requires, Circumspice

The monument of a deceiving spirit

Of myriads of deceiving spirits born of our godly father

Rather, stand up with the twenty four elders and say

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!

Accept the truth revealed in Emmanuel

And listen: one Lord, one faith, one baptism

All that He decides is holy, all that He says is law

And not worship Him by kneeling before Him if in thine heart

Is no true joy at the sight of Ariel covered by the ashes of devastation.

Do not worship Him unless your soul glitters of the purity of sin

And of unearthly virtues.

It shall truly contain the vision of the fallen tabernacle of David,

That which brought forth our Elisha that ignites in flames so pure.

Si momumentum Requires, Circumspice

Let no human knowledge impeach Divine Truths

Nor any mists of incredulity prevent your mind

From touching Divine Mysteries, hear the voice:

Before Abraham was I am

Si momumentum Requires, Circumspice

Drink from the grail He sanctified when

The frail saviour failed to raise up

The destroyed temple in three days

And open your purged mind

To Divine Oracles:

May the tributes of faith be rendered to Faith.

Si momumentum Requires, Circumspice

I shall descend in humiliation before Thee

And ascend before men only if thy will ordains me

In the midst of my carnal temple shall forevermore

Sound the tremendous words

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!
