Angel of Disease Lyrics

Your plastic souls melt with cauldron's burning black
Chanting to the Ancient Ones, chants of broken lines
Kneel before the altar, sacrifice is made
It is pleasing to the ones most ancient of the days

They call the prince of disease, messenger of the Absu
Carry through the icy winds our curse upon their church

Hanging helpless above the pentagram
Sacrifice swings within leather noose
Sing the ancient hymn that makes the Absu roll
Raise the rusty knife, let loose the blood of Kingu

Sudden death throws off the balance that's within the sky
Priest calls forth infernal names to the ones
beyond the gate

Angel of disease one who shuns the light
Shub Niggurath goat with one thousand young

Praise the beast, the chanting grew
Praise the beast with virgin blood
Praise the beast with soul and mind
Praise the beast and show the sign

Bind their kings in iron chains
Execute the judgement for them
Come and taste the fleshy pleasures
Orgies of endless time

Cool song. I think its about the antichrist, which is kinda unoriginal, but some great riffs anyway

Korn totally ripped off one of the riffs from this song in their song "Ball Tongue"!

It's deffently not about the anti-christ. this probely describing something in sumerian mythology, some evil ritual summoning of a demon.

Its about The Ancient Ones, the gods of old. '...Let loose the blood of Kingu' is about an ancient god named Kingu, whose blood created the human race. Its about the ancient gods taking over again from todays God and people with plastic souls (Christian Sheep) being sacrificed I think

Christian sheep. Very original.

This is makes a lot of references to Lovecraftian mythos, Akkadian and Babylonian mythology, so like L�rs points out, it looks like some sort of summoning ritual.

I love this song, and the fact that they didn't title this song "Morbid Angel" makes it that much better.

morbid: Of the nature of or indicative of disease.

so technically "Morbid Angel" and "Angel of Disease" refer to the same thing, but at least its a little more creative than just using the same name twice.
