O Purple flame, o whirling wheel of life
Appear, move, rise
(Come unto me, Bartzabel) By the laws divine I quell
(Come unto me, Bartzabel) By the raging blood cells
(Come unto me, Bartzabel) By the spear, the sword, the spell
(Come unto me, Bartzabel) By the word that openeth Hell!
By Ra Hoor Khuit, by Elohim
By Samael, by Seraphim
By Hoor and Khem, by Gods of War
Ares and Mars, and mighty Thor
(Come unto me, Bartzabel) By the power ov the panther's spell
(Come unto me, Bartzabel) By the circling citadel
(Come unto me, Bartzabel) By this mind ov miracles
(Come unto me, Bartzabel) By the moon and stars, I swear!
By Ra Hoor Khuit, by Elohim
By Samael, by Seraphim
By Hoor and Khem, by Gods of War
Ares and Mars, and mighty Thor
By Gods of War, by Khem and Hoor!
By Hachiman, Mentu, and all
And by thy master, Graphiel
Come unto me, o Bartzabel
Appear, move, rise
(Come unto me, Bartzabel) By the raging blood cells
(Come unto me, Bartzabel) By the spear, the sword, the spell
(Come unto me, Bartzabel) By the word that openeth Hell!
By Samael, by Seraphim
By Hoor and Khem, by Gods of War
Ares and Mars, and mighty Thor
(Come unto me, Bartzabel) By the circling citadel
(Come unto me, Bartzabel) By this mind ov miracles
(Come unto me, Bartzabel) By the moon and stars, I swear!
By Samael, by Seraphim
By Hoor and Khem, by Gods of War
Ares and Mars, and mighty Thor
By Gods of War, by Khem and Hoor!
By Hachiman, Mentu, and all
And by thy master, Graphiel
Come unto me, o Bartzabel

I got to see this song performed lived! It was even better than the studio recording that opening riff just gets you in a chokehold leaving you completely breathless. If you get the chance see behemoth live, their tone is outrageous and performance totally compelling.
