(Oh, hear the one)
In the hour of the darkest night
Shines the light of the brightest dawn
(He, who brings the light)
Denied by his closed heart
The still wasteful sons return home
Breathing incense at the sacred altar
The visions vivid
Prophets scrying the end of the world
Their expressions livid
Prepare now for the arrival of the king
The ritual is complete
The circle’s been drawn
The candles were lit
Bringer of light, angel of pride
The deal was sealed
Blood has been drawn
Hail the dawn
(Oh, fear the ones)
On the dawn of the final fight
We give ourselves to the pyre
(They who give their lives)
To fuel your strength with our bile and rage
Unpreserve us, World-Liar
The faithful walk into the searing light
Their lives devoured
Rejecting father, son and holy ghost
Their creation defiled
Prepare now for the arrival of the king
The ritual is complete
The circle’s been drawn
The candles were lit
Bringer of light, angel of pride
The deal was sealed
Blood has been drawn
Hail the dawn
Firstborn, the anointed one
Serpent son
With ambition to swallow the sun
Fear the watchful eyes of the tyrant in the skies
The everpresent glare, that deathly black stare
The scepter and the blade, the spectre and the shade
The one above
Learn the cunning lies of the serpent in disguise
The fires of hell, the black magic spell
That brings eternal bane to all who know his name
The one below
Abaddon, Mephisto
Gilgamesh, Belphegor
(Oh, hear the one)
Danica, Venera
(He, who brings the light)
Sirius, Morning Star
(As above, so below, Baphomet)
Aryan, Heretic, Prometej
(We call you now, come to us, bring us destruction this day)
Sathanas, Lukifer, non sanctus vastator dei
