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 death where

The unguided are lost

One way in and

No way out

The door of no return

The passage 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 death 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 death is near
