Now before they take me
And my blessed life,
Now you'll know why
Death was summoned here tonight.
I'll recall my perils,
They'll kill me in pride,
No, I can't run away,
There's no place to hide.
Though too much to live for,
I owe enough to die.
Ask not for salvation,
My death shall mean their lives,
Hatred and guilt the altar they've built,
High priests of sin.
Destiny, fate, the wicked one's gate
Beckoning you in
Beckoning you in.
Down the walkways,
Through the blood-stained town
Looking down the cross,
Bleeding from the crown
Led to slay,
To die beside the thieves
Kill the king of the world to be.
And now to you, this will come,
A putrefying pestilence.
More noxious than the serpent's breath,
Malevolently destined,
More corrupt than the malice of Choronzon,
More disease than the wind of the morning sun,
Putrefaction you have caused.
No need for confession,
Now you wish you had a God
To stop your demolition
Crushing the bones of the hundred-folds,
Swinging the judgement hammer.
Man, woman, child, no one is safe,
The heads of the dead are the banner.
And this was all you got,
So done these broken wings
Sands of time run out, bells of Hades ring.
Is this a nightmare to un-hallow thy name?
Smell of brimstone dancing in the flames
No help now as you fulfill his task.
Chief of evil has got you by the ass.
Set free to sit upon the throne
Just a dream, you're weeping all alone.
Looking down the cross,
Speak no evil.
I'm looking down the cross,
Speak no evil.
