[Instrumental]

Slowly coming close to the end
Drawing close to the ever-lasting
All-enduring Flame
All approaching the end
Dawning of the end
Drawing close to the ever-lasting

Slowly coming close to the end
All approaching the end
Drawing close to the ever-lasting Flame

Don't try to purify me
Now and forever shall be
A time to sacrifice grace

Don't try to purify me
My spirit never shall be
Forced to sanctify itself

Fall from a crack in the sky
And fail to rise again
Caught by the blackened eye
Your allignce you'll repent

Don't try to purify me
I know there never shall be
An age of virtuous innocence

Gospel so mesmerizing
Drivingly sensitizing
It invalidates itself

Fall from a crack in the sky
And fail to rise again
Caught by the blackened eye
Your alligience you'll repent

I wander restlessly in shelter of the night
I hunt in solitude in hiding from the light

The Undead writhe among you
The Undead writhe among you

My quest is tireless in search for mortal souls
You have been chosen now your death you must behold

Dead spirits circle around you
Vultures of Hell surround you
They crave to feast upon your soul

River runs red
Blood will be shed
The Executioner Undead

I'm doomed to give you retribution for your sins
So beg for mercy now before the end begins

My death relies upon you
My death depends upon you
My fate demands you pay your toll

River runs red
Blood will be shed
The Executioner Undead

The Undead writhe among you
The Undead writhe among you
They crave to feast upon your soul

River runs red
Blood will be shed
The Executioner Undead

Wander forth in silence
Always walks alone
Sworn his sole abidance
To the Holy Stone

Happiness surrounds him
Everywhere he goes
Joins Flame, Earth and Water
Worthless turns to gold

His gift's unwelcome
Let his soul go to waste
Set the magic ablaze
Set the magic ablaze

Scorn of alchemy

Sentenced to the gallows
And the golden robe
Ill-willed persecutors
Mercy they oppose

His gift's unwelcome
Let his soul go to waste
Set the magic ablaze
Set the magic ablaze

Scorn of alchemy

Scorn of alchemy

Striking down from out of nowhere
Swiftly, obscured by the night
Pillaging all of the people
The ending of happy times
Who is the unknown betrayer?
Born on the wings of deceit
Holy servants of God
All descend from above
Wicked in mind they let Hell on Earth unleash

Gabriel, Lord of the Angels
"Who stands in the presence of God"
Mastermind of the betrayal
Rises above the hordes
"Doom upon all of you sinners
Your pestilence left me no choice
Spite the word of the Lord
I have made the call
Now let the end of humanity begin"

Ash and fire enshrouded the sky
And the river's running dry
Ash and fire enshrouded the sky
And the river's running dry

Slaves to the Winged Deceiver
Drive the unholy crusade
Enticed to service for evil
The Holy has been betrayed
Then wakens one of the angels
Quickly he acts out his pledge
In the blink of an eye
Gabriel's wings are afire
He swears his revenge and sinks into the Abyss

Then in the Age to come Lord Winter reigned
The sun was lost in the fog
But when the ashes cleared the flowers bloomed
Choir of the Heavens rejoiced

[Instrumental]

Through deserted lands I am doomed to walk
Black disgust evolves around me
I repress the fear as The Devil stalks
With the Hounds of Hell surrounding

So Satan rises before my eyes
In his presence my will gets feeble
Feel his demon inside of me come to life
Helplessly possessed by evil

I'm cursed with a Godless Faith
This unholy belief I'm bound to
I worship a Godless Faith
This unholy belief I vow to

Then The Devil speaks in his serpent tongue
More temptation for me to suffer
"You believe I have damned you, my son, you're wrong
Open up to the powers I offer"

In my dreams the hellish rule must falter
Break away the curse and bring me back to life

Foul is the earth on which he crawls
Defiles decay upon us all
A vermin born on the breeze
Ravages all with his feral disease

Evil's rising
The end of all beginning
There's no hiding
From the embrace of Evil

Abide by the Devil inside
Exile our souls to the darkest night

Minds are so easily deceived
By the seductiveness of greed
He's taken hold of the key
Into the mind where God used to be

Darkness rising
He's fixed his eye upon you
So despising
And hopelessly seductive

Abide by the Devil inside
Exile our souls to the darkest night
Exile our souls to the darkest night

Evil's rising
The end of all beginning
There's no hiding
From the embrace of evil

Abide by the Devil inside
Exile our souls to the darkest night
Exile our souls to the darkest night
Exile our souls to the darkest night

A holy storm is on the rise
A mighty roar out of the skies
The wrath of God we must endure
Or suffer to The Devil

Thunder gives another warning
Before the lightning strikes
Unbounded leniency has run out
Will we see the dawn of morning
Or walk eternal night
A new beginning or boundless demise
A new beginning or boundless demise

Then from the bottomless abyss
The monstrous counterstrike begins
Angelic frost and hellish fire
Collide to reign forever

Thunder gives another warning
Before the lightning strikes
Unbounded leniency has run out
Will we see the dawn of morning
Or walk eternal night
A new beginning or boundless demise
A new beginning or boundless demise

Thunder gives a final warning
Before the lightning strikes
Unbounded leniency has run out
Will we see the dawn of morning
Or walk eternal night
A new beginning or boundless demise
A new beginning or boundless demise

White fire expires
Light starts to fade
Black powers devour
Its cold remains

Fierce angel fly
Mocking our cry
Watch as the sky comes down

We follow paralyzed - minds fixed on the Abyss
In an illusive daze where ignorance is bliss
A massive wandering into the great unknown
That's gonna terminate before the Devil's throne

The morbid following proceeds on through the land
Too blind to realise we'll die by our own hands
Red hellions craving for our sinful souls to reap
Distract our eyes as it emerges from the deep

Black passage
Leads onto Cthonian Tracks
Once you have passed the gates
You'll never go back
Black passage
Leads on a netherbound path
Once you have passed
You know you'll never come back

The great Imposter's got his missioners alligned
Manipulating and deluding every mind
He offers remedy for every mortal sin
Lurking beyond the gates prepared to take you in
