Flagellation Lyrics - Ceremony Of Opposites - Samael

Pleasure in pain 

Disire of mortification 

To achieve the extreme 

To know the ultimate 

To be a slave for a moment 

The body offered up to cruelty 

To the lash which whips on the skin 

Which slashes the flesh, lacerates the back 

To feel the blood, thich and warm 

Flow over my wounds 

Flagellation ... 

To thrust aside the limits 

To say "yes" to death 

Without fear, without remorse 

To give up oneself to torture 

Punishment and reward 

The whip is ambiguous 

It distills vice 

In a perverse refinement 

[repeat second verse]
