*Lyrics*
Meet the infinite universe
Carry consciousness to the dark side
The oddest disciples of the beast
in belief of a thelemic force
Do what Thou wilt
Do what Thou wilt
Obsessed by a dark vision
Occultists gathering
The rite in the lodge
Engage in obscure practices
Obsessed by a dark vision
Incarnate the emanation into flesh
Let the psychic flame burn
Meet the infinite universe
Carry consciousness to the dark side
Conjuring and reaction
Pay the price
The explosion
Obsessed by a dark vision
A violent death
No remorse
