In the days of ruin and fear And gangways chocked with despair Stone walls meander and hide A monster within the lair No resting here all along The path is unmarked A labyrinth of d**h where The unguided are lost One way in and No way out The door of no return The pa**age to darkness Is a thunder within This pit of burning bones Seals the burial rites in Dream on the eve of battle The scars they have won An echo from the center paints The soldiers shields with blood So the hard way In darkness So hard the way From tomb to temple the rise
Of the dead king God Pestilence burns by day And the d**h vapors by night A world of corpses paralyzed Within this dream of life Satan's mills of endless wheels Capture all in flight And the secret path of thieves Is plotting out the light Creator of this vision Interpreter of it all Apocalyptic arrows aimed At sword forged on anvils old Terror struck and trembling Outstretched upon the path Turn to see a voice that speaks And behold falls bead now At its feet I rule in fear All d**h is near
