Press play before reading. Salute.
(A lone hybrid voice whispers)
Some may still call me
Astarte or
Mephistopheles
Some may call me by
My favourite name
Asmodeus
As I blow past in the early
Morning breeze
Did you know
I'm just waiting to
Possess your soul
Again
Like how it used
To be
Before
Jesus came to
Bethlehem
To my ransack my old temples
And courtyards
For I still see you all
Through my silver scrying mirrors
All those who still
Summon me
At three am
I’ll turn you away
From heaven
To worship a real X-factor and true idol
A new fallen angel
To call as your
Lamb
I’ll breach your circle of salt
As you recount channelling
And speaking to lost souls
Through
Ethereal telegrams
Look behind you
Look above you
And look below
Listen carefully as I and all my beautiful and so friendly dark legions
Call by and slowly
Whisper
Hello
There’s now nowhere else to run
For your souls have fired
Molten bullets
From my black as night conjuring gun
Through that salt circle
Where you once
Kneeled and prayed
At 3 am
The lonely dead
Have now spoken
And I’ll soon come for you
My worshippers
The Unrepentant and Unwashed
Or just those unlooked upon by the Almighty
For you are now
Truly blessed to be carefully
And exquisitely
Broken
So keep trolling on
Facebook
Twitter
Instagram
And all
My new captivating technology
Keep drinking
Your gin or choice of liquor
And taking
My so tempting drugs
But when those white lights
Start to shimmer and flicker
When you feel
A sudden strange chill
Running up and down
Your sensuous spine
And you're suddenly
Too weak to run
It’s just me calling
To take you home
To Abaddon
Because you’ve now
Been baptised and anointed
To be just mine
For all that was once done in secret
Will now be exalted from the new rooftops
In your old Jerusalem
And be reborn into my new Bethlehem
So be it
Now sing to me
Like so many of my pagan carnal slaves
Who I rule over now they've come over
After a night living all alone in their beautiful graves
So
Call for me
For I'm now
Your new idol
Asmodeus
O’ Call for me
Asmodeus
Your only idol
O’Blessed Be
So be it
