Text
(Introduction - male vocal, loud and angry)
[Male Vocal] "Deo sibi mihi lux;
non draco sibi mihi dux;
vade retro, Satan!
nunquam suade mihi vana;
sunt mala quae libas;
ipse venena bibas!"
(A dark echo of deep voices follows as a heavy instrumental begins)
---
[Verse 1]
You try to exorcise me with words that lack might,
Fragile men, whose faith is a blight.
Calling your saints, attempting to bind,
But I am Pazuzu, and I won’t be confined.
(Vocalization - short, dark Gregorian choir)
---
[Chorus]
Send me away, dare to try,
I am the serpent, chaos in the sky.
In poison, in fire, in shadows I thrive,
I am Pazuzu, forever alive.
---
[Verse 2]
Legion within me, a hell forged in steel,
The darkness my beacon, the essence I feel.
You pray for the Blood, but it’s just a ruse,
I am the essence in your self-inflicted blues.
(Vocalization - children’s choir, unsettling)
"Ave Maria! Perde corpus nostrum et salvas animam mean!"
---
[Verse 3]
Your prayers are like ashes, so pale and so weak,
In my realm, there’s no faith that you seek.
With every attempt, your struggle gets steeper,
But I am Pazuzu, your nightmare runs deeper.
(Vocalization - alternating Gregorian and children’s choir)
---
[Bridge]
Oh, God Almighty, hear my scorn,
I am the evil that will not be torn.
In failed pleas, your hopes fall apart,
I am Pazuzu, the shadow in your heart.
(Vocalization - alternating Gregorian and children’s choir)
---
[Final Chorus]
Send me away, dare to engage,
But I am Pazuzu, I’ll break from this cage.
Serpent and fire, plague and poison,
In shadows, I rise, your fear is my beacon.
(Finale - the whispers of children and the Gregorian choir fade gradually, as a final demonic laugh echoes before silence falls)
