Draw near, partake of this altar
For you are fairer in beauty
Than other daughters of man
Recognize and embrace
This glorious proclamation
Of eternal damnation [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/akercocke/promise.html ]
Place your faith in sex and death
Rather than the wisdom of the divine
Have no pity for those
Who mired in prophet delusion
Content to be servile for a lifetime
It is better to be king for a day
Your passing will scant trace in history
Wiped from memory like a forgotten dream
Like sand slipping through fingers
