The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
I'm thy blood abominated abd spilled
By the works of darkness and hatred
I'm abyssic flames infernal fire of dafamation
Which burns and brands the sacred scriptures
Wielder of the oppressive sword of revenge
Blood of sacrificed showers from my blade
Marching over slaughtered preys I feast
Ascending storms of scourge I ride
Spewing the rites of ritual sacrifice
I'm the one baptized in flames
Ceremonial death thru merciless desecration
Black blood unleash my heart of stone
Eyes of horror are always around me
Beholding the preys of deception die
Domination for the tyrant revenge
Desolation of holiness summon my name
From within the beast's brood I came
Raised to murder the holy one
Wicked insane with malevolent mission
Hatred inherit my light became black
Reciting evoking pouring of blood by my hands
Infesting the circle I summon the fire - god
Murder of divine grace
Flesh desecrated violation of sacred code
Pestilent feast
Ravager of holy decay I shall stand
The painful sorrow of living triumph of death
Hatred inherit pestilence of peace
Lord of infamous arts I shall stand
Hatred inherit pestilence of peace
Son of the abyssic gods spawned in battle to reign
Hatred inherit my light became black
By the works of darkness and hatred
I'm abyssic flames infernal fire of dafamation
Which burns and brands the sacred scriptures
Wielder of the oppressive sword of revenge
Blood of sacrificed showers from my blade
Marching over slaughtered preys I feast
Ascending storms of scourge I ride
Spewing the rites of ritual sacrifice
I'm the one baptized in flames
Ceremonial death thru merciless desecration
Black blood unleash my heart of stone
Eyes of horror are always around me
Beholding the preys of deception die
Domination for the tyrant revenge
Desolation of holiness summon my name
From within the beast's brood I came
Raised to murder the holy one
Wicked insane with malevolent mission
Hatred inherit my light became black
Reciting evoking pouring of blood by my hands
Infesting the circle I summon the fire - god
Murder of divine grace
Flesh desecrated violation of sacred code
Pestilent feast
Ravager of holy decay I shall stand
The painful sorrow of living triumph of death
Hatred inherit pestilence of peace
Lord of infamous arts I shall stand
Hatred inherit pestilence of peace
Son of the abyssic gods spawned in battle to reign
Hatred inherit my light became black

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
