Apophis by Craving for Chaos Lyrics
Before creation
Before man
Only chaos
Nothing to comprehend
And from the chaos
Rose the gods
Divine beings made to rule this world
An equilibrium of power made to guarantee
That mortal and immortal life can coexist eternally
When the clash of light and darkness peaked
A sibling seeks aid for a vulgar deed
Brother
Join me
Apophis
Serpent of the Nile
Brother
We’ll bring the end to it all
We’ll bring the end to it all
I’m the bearer of boundless might
Balance, order, god-given right
I will never dare to sacrifice
My duty here, eternal life
Those who destroy the lie, promote order
Those who promote the good, will erase the evil
As fullness casts out appetite
Clothes cover the nude and heaven clears up after a storm
Brother
Join me
Apophis
Eater of souls
Brother
We’ll bring an end to this world
Where questions wither
New answers bloom
Ending his reign
To befall this land with darkness
Unlight entombs
The mortal realm
Embodiment of chaos
Gods of sin
I have not committed sin, robbery with violence, adultery
I have not shut my ears to the words of truth
I have not multiplied my words in speaking
I have not debauched the wife of any man
I have not slain men and women
I have not purloined offerings
I have not polluted myself
I have not acted with evil rage
I have not attacked any man
I have not been an eavesdropper, angry without just cause
I have not blasphemed, against the king
I have not judged with undue haste
I have not carried away food
I have not uttered lies, curses
I have not pried into matters
I have not stolen, grain, cultivated land
The property of the gods
Gods of sin, gods of sin
Join my reign, not your reign
Gods of sin, gods of sin
The sun will fail to rise
I’m the keeper of bliss and plight
Night, day, circle of life
I will always make the sacrifice
My duty calls, guardian of light
You don’t understand balance of life
If I must go, you too will die
This rivalry until the end of time
Unbroken circle, constant fight
No use in trying to expedite
This is our fate, the stars aligned
Futile task a brother to incite
On the horizon you will wait each night
You know your place and I know mine
Take it as a blessing in disguise
You will never take me by surprise
My work is done
The sun will rise
Before man
Only chaos
Nothing to comprehend
And from the chaos
Rose the gods
Divine beings made to rule this world
An equilibrium of power made to guarantee
That mortal and immortal life can coexist eternally
When the clash of light and darkness peaked
A sibling seeks aid for a vulgar deed
Brother
Join me
Apophis
Serpent of the Nile
Brother
We’ll bring the end to it all
We’ll bring the end to it all
I’m the bearer of boundless might
Balance, order, god-given right
I will never dare to sacrifice
My duty here, eternal life

Those who promote the good, will erase the evil
As fullness casts out appetite
Clothes cover the nude and heaven clears up after a storm
