When the jews rise up over Zion
And a comet parts the sky
And the roman empire is reborn -
Then our two lives will end!!

From the eternal sea he arises
Conjures up armies - brother killing brother
The earth becomes deserted
And mankind ceases to exist...

It was one of those nights
When it seems that haven and hell bring near
Thunder and pelting rain convulsed Rome till the early morning
Only one smiled - call him...

Born and died, 6 o'clock on the 6th of June
Mortal innocence at fight with the rebirth of evil
Hear these words - don't be afraid:
Christus-Ave-Satani

A man stands by the church with a terrible message on pale lips
His child died at birth, it only lived for a short moment
Despair in his eyes - "God help me!"

See this holy place
Profaned by presence of spurious apostles
A child lays at the altar - representing the purity of evil

Priest of local church is ready for the betrayal of god
He persuades the man to adope the child
"No one would notice it!"
Christus-Ave-Satani

Black candles light the scene, the man's so fortunate
He is unaware of being the victim of a conspiracy
He speaks these words, it's like a sentence of death:
Christus-Ave-Satani

5 years passed - somewhere a boy was seperated from his childhood,
Only you know why...
destiny took it's course,
He sensed that the death of the nanny wasn't an accident

What kind of visions burden him hard and rattle him
Who are the shadows around him, watching over him?

Damien Thorn was unlike the other children
A loner with a permenant fear of church
He got older and with it came the certainty
That something took possession of him

Who's the voice in his head giving him orders?
Who converses with his soul at midnight?

The evil insdie you will never see, the evil inside this child
Born as the image of the greatest might in the world!

It was a friday afternoon as a priest asked
For an audience at the office of Mr. Thorn
He was very excited, wanting only to speak privately
What he said was so irrational - beyond conception

He spoke about the beast of the revelation
And of it's renicarnation
To annihilate one day all the ruling and the faithful
He asserted that Damien is meant beast
And he could prove his words - better you believe

"He will kill all man, by whom he feels threatened!"

"Hear my warning and don't hesitate -
The antichrist must die before it's too late!"

"Go to Megiddo, to Jesreel, go and look for the cemetery
With the grave of the real mother of your Damien.
You'll find the rests of a jackal and a few graves further the skeleton of a baby,
Who was killed at his birth!"

"He couldn't become to flesh in the lap of the woman!"

"Hear my warning and don't hesitate - the antichrist must die before it's too late!"

The day just awakes in Megiddo
Hazes pass through the narrow lanes
In virture of the priest, Robert Thorn
Meets here an exorcist called Bogenhagen

The dusk lead both into an old vault beyond the light
Here lies the origin of christianity

"It must be done on holy ground in a church
His blood must be shed on the altar of god
Seven daggers will end the life of the antichrist
Do not make a mistake!"

"The first dagger kills the physical life
The center of the cross
The others annihilate the mental existence
Free from pity and find the mark

Bearing all disciples of satan
It's an arrangement of sixes"

"He will find your wife and she will die
Go back home and forget your doubts
Take the daggers and think of it:
It is not a human child!"

Tears of faint and tears of pain
Cathy's death overshadowed his return to London
Is he to believe in Bogenhagen, is he to kill Damien?
Perhaps it was an accident yet, he never was so helpless...

Before the priest also payed for his sins
He predicted that Cathy will die
And with her the unborn child
Remember his warning:
"He never would allow that it will be born
And one day he also will kill you!"

There's only one way to get certainty of Damien
Bogenhagen spoke about a mark on his skin
All servants of devil carry this sign
The sign that means the name of the beast or his number
Who has wisdom can find out what the number reveals
It is human number - it's the number 666!

Like a trance he touches Damien's skin
"God be my witness - there's the sign!"

Right this moment tha man knows what he has to do
"Kill the evil!!" he took
The daggers and drove with Damien to the church
On the altar
The antichrist wailed for his life - a last attempt
The man didn't see the gun - aimed at him...

'It's time for you Damien to find out who you are
In the revelation stands the truth

Don't close your eyes Damien, you're the choosen one by satan obey him -
Protect him - be strong!!"

"I found my birthmark on my skin
As it is revealed in the Holy Bible - why me??"

After the death of his parents Damien lived at his uncles
His cousin Mark became his best friend, they spent a lot of time together
They watched the birth of the sun - they saw the death of the moon

They went to the same school, were inseparable, but for how long?
Voices within Damien (strange and intimate) told him that something was wrong
There was a silver shine - in the cold winter nights

"Mark knows who you are, get him on us!"

Mark was alone in wintry woods as he sensed Damien behind him
He could hardly believe his eyes as he turned around
He saw this silver shine - he saw in satan's eyes...

"Yes Mark, cast out of heaven, a fallen angel, risen again in me
Come with me, you can go with me, don't force me to beg you!"

"NO!"

Later the doc spoke of a tumor who wiped out the life of Mark
Allegedly a defect since his childhood - you know it better...

It was the silver shine - it was the antichrist!

At the cemetery died away the last words for dead Mark
Damien feels the piercing looks behind him
Oh if they could see his little black heart...

All man who resist him will end the same way
The antichrist in Damien's soul takes over the final control
"I am the angel of light with the silver shine
I let the beast in me looks like an innocent child"

No human creature can stop the son of ruin, if he doesn't believe in him

"The fraud you call Jesus Christ leaves you alone with your fears
Free from distorted conversions of this nazarenic
Weakling let yourself seduce by grandeur of melancholy
Deliver yourself to your darkest wishes - come near!"

Time has come to shed the symbols of deceit and hypocrisy!

"Awake you invisible breed, awake the world is in false hands
Awake disciples of real lord and my might will be endless..."

"2000 years long you were in an agony of doubt
Got your souls eaten by impotence of a feeble god,
But your pain will be only a faint memory
Finally your life will receive greatness - through me!"

Prophecy will come true, only the beast will rule at the end of time!

"Awake you invisible breed, awake the world is in false hands
Awake disciples of real lord and my might will be endless..."
