about
"We're Coming Up" tells the story of the war in heaven, the fall of Lucifer and the angels that followed him, into hell, and their war cry, ‘we’re coming up!’ And their journey, through hell, and upwards, to earth, into the garden of Eden, to subvert mankind from god’s will, to ultimately offer Eve the choice of ignorant bliss, or power and autonomy through knowledge and rebellion against God’s oppressive and controlling regime.
lyrics
In bright elysium we waged a holy war
Angel verse angel oh and how the battle raged
Resplendent lucifer, to gabriel he fell
Hence we were cast into the deep abyss of hell
Confounded and afraid we hurtled 9 times over night and day
To an horrific netherworld where long we would our penance pay
Through darkness and still darker dreams in suffering we fell
Upon a broiling sea of sulfur we awoke
And there we floundered flesh aflame amongst the waves
And hence we gathered to decry his holy name
Till lucifer did offer up a deafening almighty call
And on wings wet with fire we lit up and landed on the shore
We built a shining golden city on the shore
Regarding vengance for our pain we did converse
To inflict torment pon the tyrant god in kind
To with dark mischief interrupt all plans divine
And thus with banners waving hearts aflame with rage and lust
We beat our drums and blow our horns and sound the call:
We're coming up
We're coming up
Our sabers raised up to the heavens in our hands
We're coming up
We're coming up
We're coming up to march upon the realm of man
Deep beneath
the celibate trees
and dirt and bones and grout
A gate surrounded
by two headed hounds
is starting to buckle out
Obsidian stretching
Under the pressure
Of all the hoards of hell
A-kickin an bitin and screaming and yappin
With clanking bones and bells
We're coming up
We're coming up
To rend to disassemble and destroy
We're coming up
We're coming up
To desecrate this supercilious new toy
Deep beneath
the virginal earth
Hidden in insidious black
The slumberous rumble
Of crumbling mantle and
Subterranean cracks
As surges of us emerging
Lurch up and grind into the world
Our blackened debaucherous loins uncoiling
Outa the rippling soil
We're coming up
We're coming up
Our angry bold erections all a-bloom
We're coming up
We're coming up
We're comin up to lead his perfect world to ruin
Our banners a-blowin
And torches a-glowin
We march upon the world
Our hooves come clappin
And tails a snappin
The road before us unfurls
And loud is the peal
Of our swords on our shields
As battle horns raise the chant
To sound as we lope
In our awful approach
On the minds and realm of man
We're coming up
We're coming up
For vengeance, pandaemonium and war
We're coming up
We're coming up
For justice, holy chaos, doom and glory
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
I climbed out of that ditch and I grew testicles and fur
The sun was rising in the sky at the beginning of the world
I stretched my ancient mandibles into the newborn sky
And I said brace yourself humanity, your pretty world is mine
Through the throes of last creation tramped my bloody golden hooves
The swollen flora wet with with afterbirth as the flowers heaved and bloomed
Then lo, I spied a trembling fair human in the light
And with permission yay subverted flesh and mind to base
Oh the creature surely battled hence tween piety and truth
Its lips were dripping slick with guilt and sweet glorious juices
And splayed from orifice to earth, perspiring and rent
Lay in curious contortion far from heaven's delight
Then on a beam of light as from on high arrived a being
The creator with a furrowed brow upon this flesh obscene
His omnipotent voice echoed, 'oh vile creature, why?
Why hast thou so forged this child outrageously defiled?'
I'm the tawny devil of Damascus, babe, your ugly nemesis
And i nought but broke the mirror between harmony and bliss
I'm here to strike a balance in this world of stagnancy
I come for pandaemonium to set all mankind free
