The Shells Are Open Songtext

von Therion

I see her coiling down
The Huluppu tree
To maid Inannas fruitful land

She's one of the Shedims
Living in the cave
Venus of the night
The shells are open

Climb the sacred tree on Thantifaxath
And enter Lilith's nest
In the Huluppu tree
Walk the lunar path to Qulielfi
Fly with the screech owl
To the shore of Euphrates

Lil, the nigh Naamah, my queen
The queen of the night
Is dressed in shadows
The shell is wide open, the child is born
Behold the savior of Qliphoth

A lion, serpent
Owl with wings of Pazuzu
Driven from the tree
Come back as a god

The shell is wide open
Howlers of Edom, you female demons
Let the child be born
Through Thantifaxath

Walk the lunar path on Qulielfi
Fly with the screech owl
And enter Malkuth
Open up the shell
And unleash Chiva
