And so, the SERPENT pours venom into our veins Behold the host of burning spears, awaiting to pierce reality And the Tree of Life shriveled, bearing nothing but fruits of rot The Lamb now stillborn in the womb of the virgin whore
Pillars of ash now mark the ascension As forgotten abominations awaken once more Through fields where no life ever dwelt The winds now carry their tribute to Death
Witness the rebirth of ancient Sodom The carnal feasts of Gomorrah returned Witness the manifestation, death tearing at the veil As the usher of unlight moves into the world
As apparitions rise from smouldering pyres As wraiths ascend from forgotten vaults As witches dance at the crossroads again Through the crack of reality ~ Horned shadows rise! Horned shadows rise!
Let the beast enter through the gaping wounds of mankind As the world becomes the stigmata of the Lord himself Let the hosts of heaven wail as He enters As Death becomes the new gospel of the world
Hear the bells that chime for the funeral of the world Hear the voices that herald this arrival Hear the crack of the earth torn asunder
Inside temples forgotten by time The gateways to the abyss open wide As the tombs now rupture up from the earth As the soil in the graveyards begin to stir As the oceans divide, revealing the void From the funeral pyres ~ HORNED SHADOWS RISE
