A higher power underground From seraph skies and now to chaos bound He is sitting sacred and profound In midst of sinners licking up to kiss his crown Pathetic humans in despair Defaced, deflowered, now to death devout A fallen angel in his glare In midst of sinners kneeling down before His clout Old One, Master All beauty lies within Old One, Master All beauty lies within you This oasis is a poisoned well Of rotting carcasses that clog the deep A prince in exile here in Hell In midst of sinners flocking up like soulless sheep Old One, Master All beauty lies within Old One, Master All beauty lies within you Old One, Master All beauty lies within Old One, Master All beauty lies within you Old One, Master All beauty lies within Old One, Master All beauty lies within you Your infernal Majesty
