Thirteen chimes from the bell of impending doom The damp cloak of night has fallen They are waiting in silence See the glare of the fallen stars in their eyes With the hunger of the dead Smiling in dreadful bliss They came to reap the seed of kings, not mourn their loss They came to thrive on every quietus and reign for eternity Compelling words in every throe throughout my flesh They speak in tongues of seething lust I rise in ecstasy The ones to bleed shall call for their children, (now) devoted to me Let them be branded by the fire of the rising anathema I bring damnation, seas to blood, earth to dust Believers fed unto the beasts Ascending on sulphur wings Chains of steel shackle our prey writhing in fear Pleading words for mercy The world burns, their faith reduced to nothing Their pains shall set us free d**h shall strike down with me I suffered a thousand plagues to win this throne of might I walked through the deserts of hell, through torment and d**h, laughing
I entered the hollow fields with my spirit drained from life Forged in your flames, I shall rise again to conquer Far above the graves, far beyond all light, far beyond this earth Tortured spirits yearning for their end to come They walked into the blood filled halls of oblivion A time of endless terror, a war that never ends, a blade that never rests And there is no answer - shall never be found Just these sordid hands that shall rip through the throat of your god Thirteen chimes from the bell of impending doom The damp cloak of night has fallen We murder in silence Judgement lies within my hands, the redeemer To sentence slaughter upon their kin Salvation through suffering I suffered a thousand plagues to win this throne of might I walked through the deserts of hell, through torment and d**h, laughing I enetered the hollow fields with my spirit drained from life But in your flames I shall rise again Reborn to conquer
