"Worship" lyrics

"Worship"

And I saw a beast ascending up of the sea of the West
And the beast whom I saw, was like a colossus
Having a crown with ten teeth, and on the ten teeth the names of blasphemy
And from his mouth ran the blood of men
And a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies and power was given to it
And all men, worshiped it that dwell in earth
Whose ears be not tethered to the divine tongue
If any man can hear, hear he
And I saw another beast ascending up from the abyss
Alike a Taurus, and it had two horns made of gold
And it spake blasphemies and did all the power of the former beast in his sight
And it made the earth and all men dwelling in it
To worship the first beast

RĪGEI SESRONEŪI! RĪGEI SESRONEŪI!
RĪGEI SESRONEŪI! RĪGEI SESRONEŪI!

RĪGEI SESRONEŪI! RĪGEI SESRONEŪI!
RĪGEI SESRONEŪI! RĪGEI SESRONEŪI!

O, come, ye little children
O, come, you one and all
To the mangle come
In my bloodstained realm

Sing glory to me on my throne above you all
Give thanks for nemesis to your golden calf

Like sheep to the slaughter
Like moths to flames

And on your knees
You shall remain
And you shall praise
And fear my name

O, come, ye little children
O, come, you one and all
Come here by me
'Tis your vocation call

Sing glory to your noble saviour and lord
Unshackle the fetters of Ogmios' ploy

Like sheep to the slaughter
Like moths to flames

RĪGEI SESRONEŪI! RĪGEI SESRONEŪI!
RĪGEI SESRONEŪI! RĪGEI SESRONEŪI!

And on your knees (on your knees)
You shall remain (shall remain)
And you shall praise (shall praise)
And fear my name

And on your knees
You shall remain (shall remain)
And you shall praise (shall praise)
And fear my name

I shall lift my face upon thee and give you peace
I shall lift my face upon thee
I shall lift my face upon thee and give you peace
I shall lift my face upon thee

And I saw another beast ascending up from the abyss
And it made the earth and all men...

"Worship" is written from Sesroneos' point of view. He was a giant who conquered "the people of the west", i.e. the Celts, so the legends say.
The introduction is based on the Book of Revelation, New Testament, of the Bible.
Although the Gaulish for "Praise to the king Sesroneos" would read "Rīgē Sesroneū", the band explained, "We couldn't help and gave into linguistic geekery and so in this song Sesroneos isn't addressed in Gaulish, but in Proto-Celtic 'Rīgei Sesroneūi'."
