Nile - 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

Evil to protect thee from evil
Evil to cast out evil
Evil to protect thee from evil
Evil to cast out evil

Evil to protect thee from evil
Evil to cast out evil
Evil to protect thee from evil
Evil to cast out evil

Speak not of
The gods unto me
They hear not the screams
Of the dying

Evil to protect thee from evil
Evil to cast out evil
Evil to protect thee from evil

Speak not unto me
Of the sins
Of mankind
When my eyes see only
The evil of the gods

Evil to protect thee from evil
Evil to cast out evil
Evil to protect thee from evil
Evil to cast out evil
