Nile - Evil To Cast Out Evil lyrics
rate mePazuzu was the demon of the southwest wind
Known for bringing famine during
The dry seasons and locusts during the rainy seasons
Although Pazuzu himself is an evil spirit
His presence repeled other evil spirits
Therefore shielding humans against plagues and misfortunes
Evil to cast out evil
Speak not of the gods to me
They listen not to the suffering
Speak not to me of divine mercy
When my eyes see only pestilence
Famine and death
Speak not to me of the profane
When the truth of our existence
Is called blasphemy
And the smoke of plague ridden human carcasses
Blackens the horizons
Speak no more of wandering unclean spirits
Lest they be called by the sound of their names
Speak not of forsaking the elder ones
I must now seek instead their unholy embrace
Speak instead the chants of protection
Against the coming of endless swarms of devouring fiends
Against the dreaded black clouds of churning hatred
Against the malevolence which descends from the sky
Against countless voracious messengers of retribution
Swarming the innocent and the wicked
Lest he who is lord of the demons of the wind
Of the evil spirits which infest the air
Who layeth even onto death
Covereth thee with legions of winged terrors
Evil to protect thee from evil
Evil to cast out evil
Evil to protect thee from evil
Evil to cast out evil
(Guitar solo)
Evil to protect thee from evil
Evil to cast out evil
Evil to protect thee from evil
Evil to cast out evil
