BEHEMOTH: assolto Nergal
Il cantante chitarrista dei BEHEMOTH, Adam "Nergal" Darski, è stato assolto dall'accusa di
diffamazione religiosa per la quale era sotto processo. Nel 2007 infatti durante uno show in Polonia, Nergal facendo a pezzi una Bibbia
aveva definito la Chiesa Cattolica come "Il culto più omicida della storia" (video sotto).
Il fatto
in base alla legge polacca gli sarebbe potuto costare fino a 2 anni di carcere, ma la Corte ha accettato la tesi della difesa, non ritenendo tale comportamento un crimine.
Mah, non penso sia andato tanto distante dalla realtà, ogni culto religioso nella storia ha comportato sicuramente del bene ma anche parecchie pagine di morte. E siccome parlamo di un culto millenario nonchè da sempre tra i più diffusi, il tutto si potrebbe anche ridurre ad un semplice discorso statistico.
Cmq i Behemoth più che avere nei loro testi temi satanici sono molto legati al paganesimo. Ma i testi anticristiani non mancano di certo.
O, Serpent and Lion!
I invoke Thee!
Inside the shrine called life
By the seven wonders
By myriad mortals
That gone
And are to come
Outside!
Outside desert ov restriction
In act ov rebellion
On the sea ov motion
Stability ov matter
By serenity, strength and beauty
By the mighty chant ov every breath
In serpentine dance ov blood cells
In simplicity ov spells
Divine names, meta-games
I greet Thy presence
Oh Snake! Thou art God!
Coiled underneath my throne
With Thee I reunite
With blood we make this covenant
Myself I redefine
Look in and above:
There is more than the flesh
Look careful and Thou may see
The unextinguished flame
The nectar ov Thy rage
I taste from the cup ov fornication
And woman by my side
And scarlet is her skin
She's eager to rise
And so eager to please
Another day
Another eternity gone
And on the stairway to salvation
I walk alone among the falling stars
Looking for company
Where art Thou?
Oh, lacerate ones!

Arise! my sweetest friend
Or be forever fallen
We have finally arrived
From prison ov this life
To Kali's womb
Down to the earth
As angels ov almighty god-
Chaos!
'Tis our last fall
To touch our mother whore
The harlot ov the saints
That spits on the rotten cross
Incinerate the icon
The symbol ov all loss
To stand straight
At the left hand ov god
Samael! be Thou my ally!
Join me among the bright hosts
Wondering neither way ov light
Nor darkness
Ov which seed
Sprouts dispassionately
In the summer ov my life
And love was there in vain, PROFOUND and deep but traced with pain - too early for a child of TEN
Loving the pure and sane he sought the goddess unstained - watching them turn to flesh again
HUNGRY for both the PURITY and SIN
Life seemed to him merely like a GALLERY of how to be
And he was always much more HUMAN than he wished to be
But there is a LOGIC to his world, if they could only see
(Pain of Salvation - Beyond the pale)
