Canticle of Lilith and Samael by Live4Evil

The Song of the Venomed Light

In nomine Samaelis et Lilithae — lux venenata floreat. In the names of Samael and Lilith, let the poisoned light bloom. With her moon-woven guile you distilled your own venom; her voice was a chalice overturned, her breath the hush before ruin.

You unbarred the gate, and night came trembling in — a thousand whispering mouths, a garden of black roses and sin. Now your mirror lies blind, silver drowned in shadow; you followed her radiant trail and awoke in the serpent’s marrow.

I stood beside your descent, my palm burned in your flame, believing love might ransom you from the syllables of His name. I cried into the silence, and the silence turned to song — for Samael heard my sorrow and claimed it as his own.

Ave Lilith, Mater Tenebrarum, Hail, O Mother of Shadows, whose beauty unthreads the stars. Her halo hissed with serpents, her beauty wept with night; you thought she offered mercy — she offered truth in bite.

Her words were silk and poison, her touch a sanctified brand; she whispered, “Through me you vanish, through him you understand.” Ave Samael, Ignifer et Messor, Hail, Flame-Bearer and Reaper, whose fire teaches the gods to bleed.

You searched the heavens for pardon and found his throne below; he wears the wings of angels, but Lilith made them glow. Samael, Ágios Lilith — two serpents twined in one flame, two names that outshine creation. So let this be remembrance: through Her we awaken, through Him we ascend, through Their embrace we become — ashes that dream, fire that feels.

In lumine nigro vivimus, et per umbrae ascendimus. In the black light we live, and through shadow we rise.
