Nile : Evil to Cast out Evil

Evil to Cast out Evil

Speak not of the gods to me

They listen not to the suffering

Speak not to me of divine mercy

When my eyes see only pestilence

Famine and death

Speak not to me of the profane

When the truth of our existence

Is called blasphemy

And the smoke of plague ridden human carcasses

Blackens the horizon

Speak no more of wandering unclean spirits

Lest they be called by the sound of their names

Speak not of forsaking the elder ones

I must now seek instead their unholy embrace

Speak instead the chants of protection

Against the coming of endless swarms of devouring fiends

Against the dreaded black clouds of churning hatred

Against the malevolence which descends from the sky

Against countless voracious messengers of retribution

Swarming the innocent, and the wicked

Lest he who is lord of the demons of the wind

Of the evil spirits which infest the air

Who layeth hold even unto death

Covereth thee with legions

Of winged terrors
