Slaanesh, also known as the "Dark Prince," the "Prince of Pleasure," the "Lord of Excess" is the major Chaos God of pleasure, passion, obsession, excess, hedonism, decadence and pain. This song depicts the descent into madness as the lure of excess and pleasure overcomes reason and humanity as desensitization leaves one seeking more extreme measures to feel the pleasure they once felt. This song is from the perspective of a Keeper of Secrets toying with the unlucky.
lyrics
The tempter’s halls
Belie the future
Clouding their fall
Where beauty is no more
Welcome to the indulgent halls
Just a taste is not enough
Picking at the mind we find
Your secrets await inside a taste ignites desire
Pleasure dulls as cravings rise
How far will you fall?
In the yearning covet eye
They unleash this paradise
Whose doors have opened
For all, who yearn for more
None may dominate
Isolated in this carnal prison
None may dominate
Only be dominated
Aroused and mass castrated
Punished for eternal entertainment
Payment indulged
Succumb to The Dark Prince of possession
All their lives sucked out and stuffed with guts
All things turn to nightmares
In this realm of greedy stares
Intoxication
Normality is never enough anymore to satisfy the hunger
Carnality calls
In the yearning covet eye
They unleash this paradise
Whose doors have opened
For all who yearn for more
Engorge; Indulge
You've come so far for ungodly desires
To roll around in your filth and scream
Sit still you little fucking pig!
There’s no release
It’s not enough for the cravings you’ve built
Blessed with new heights
You fall upon your vice
