The Flame Vessel (Primitiae Dormientium) Lyrics


Hatred!  Blinded by impulsive blood rush

Raging the primeval lust of anger

Punishment!  Brought by remorseless ambition

By this means only will the world be benefited.

Sacrification!  Holy blood spilled

Turned into the wine and empty promises

Blindness!  The plague has spread

Causing death across human weakness.

Primitiae Dormientium

I’m the flame vessel.

Primitiae Dormientium

I’m the death fetus.

Primitiae Dormientium

I’m the flame vessel.

Primitiae Dormientium

I’m the death fetus.

Salvation!  Born from death

Passing life existence to eternity

Damnation!  Banished from paradise

Endless journey through the desert of sin.

Glorification!  God of Death

Walk through the valley of darkness

Awakening!  Fire in blood

Poisoned soul and flesh.

“Thou know’st ‘tis common; all that lives must die,

Passing through nature to eternity”

Ash to ash, dust to dust

No resurrection and no remorse.
