Tekst piosenki 'Nomen Exterminus' wykonawcy Diamanda Galas

Io, Nomen Exterminus
I am the dead one
Eve gone too far now
I can't go back
I cannot feel this
cannot afford to
there is too much here
I'm not alone
where is the end?
there's no escaping
there is no ending:
I dig my grave.

Nomen Exterminus
Nomen Exterminus
Nomen Exterminus
Nomen Exterminus

I see them crawling
Please stop that screaming
I tell them not to
I need my ending
O please I beg you
I tell them not to
I cannot hold it
My bowels break it
I cannot stop it
I have come only
I have come only
to kill my god.

Nomen Exterminus

I now kill him
from whence all came
and all return
but for this moment
I do forsake him
who holds my morning
and my evening
I do forsake thee
I walk without thee
and in the shadow o
f the dead man
whose blackness conquers
whose sadness lingers
whose laughter renders
and casts asunder
your bathetic tears
and so I kill you
o master trickster
and now am free

host shall sacrifice me
enemies will face me
now seek against me
host shall fear me
enemies encamp me
please now believe me
rise far above me
keep not secret me
hide not forsake me
answer now believe me
life came against me
believe me believe me
false host against me
stumble not fear me
secret host against me
encamp not against me
answer whom hide me
enemies shall face me
seek not forsake me
witness not hide me
fear not sacrifice me
believe me believe me
alter whom forsake me
light seek after me
fear not forsake me
believe me believe me
