In the Shadow of the Inverted Cross

The silence is hurtful A village in fear When darkness devour all the light, tonight In every heart, in every soul Resides a spark of life But there is no tomorrow, no hope in sight Evil eyes in disguise Building hell machinery Devil moon, life of doom Drowning in insanity The people obey and fear the dark power of the sorcerer There is no more hiding from the dark tower of the sorcerer He's raising an army To conquer it all He's using his powers from within, to win And when he's done, the time will come And thousands ride the night A storm of death will sweep across the land Evil eyes in disguise Building hell machinery Devil moon, life of doom Drowning in insanity The people obey and fear the dark power of the sorcerer There is no more hiding from the dark tower of the sorcerer Swallow your fears The day will come We will rise to paradise Hear the trumpets calling That day will come

5000 years ago in the beginning In the cradle of the world Symbols carved in clay, a holy token Hidden in a secret cave What have we done, evil is rising And now we're on the path of doom Disturbing the power balance, interpreting the signs They are written in Sumerian script We see the world collapse, chaos and panic The fear is mirrored in our eyes We've opened up a crack to a dark dimension Mankind will fall down on its knees What have we done, evil is rising And now we're on the path of doom Disturbing the power balance interpreting the signs They were written in Sumerian script

Out of the mist A procession emerge A slow but determent walk To enforce the law Tied They've cut out his tongue A heretic spreading his sinister Lies for far too long When the first sunrays appear They leave the misty shore The speechless man in tears He won't see the sun anymore The sound of the waves Beating on the hull The elders are saying their prayers This is the end Lies He's done nothing but wrong A heretic spreading his satanic words For far too long When the first sunrays appeared They left the misty shore A speechless man in tears He won't see the sun anymore When the first sunrays appeared They left the misty shore A speechless man in tears Crying He tread the path of a sinner And now he has payed the prize Like a stone, tumbling down, he is sinking His soul never to rise again

Empowered by the Lord we demand you to leave I spit on your cross, your naive words means nothing to me We cast you out you demon beast of the dark I laugh in your face and smother your dying spark Our belief and faith will send you back to hell In robes and cloth we've come to serve the Holy Script Hear thy holy word, in fire you shall dwell So begone, crawl back into the ancient crypt We will exorcise the demon We will purify her soul Yield to our prayers and leave her alone I will inflict her pain and eat the flesh from her bones We form a sacred circle of trust But it won't save her from the blood that I lust Our belief and faith will send you back to hell In robes and cloth we've come to serve the Holy Script Hear thy holy word, in fire you shall dwell So begone, crawl back into the ancient crypt We will exorcise the demon We will purify her soul God will prevail, we shall win this strife Eternal darkness will engulf her pitiful life In God's name we'll save her from torment and pain All of your foolish efforts are hopelessly in vain Our belief and faith will send you back to hell In robes and cloth we've come to serve the Holy Script Hear thy holy word, in fire you shall dwell So begone, crawl back into the ancient crypt We will exorcise the demon We will purify her soul

We turned our face from God and never spoke his name The holy script became a book of lies We buried our faith to live our life in shame Now the time has come to pay the price A vicious darkness closes in And evil arises They will atone our mortal sins We all shall die Angels are burning Falling like leafs to the ground Twisting and turning In the shadow of the inverted cross Eternal is the night and evil has prevailed We all have past the point of no return Agony and pain, our souls have been enslaved Forever and ever we shall burn A vicious darkness closes in And evil arises They will atone our mortal sins We all shall die Angels are burning Falling like leafs to the ground Twisting and turning In the shadow of the inverted cross

A desolate wind whispering his name I search the battlefield from the castle wall Broken arrows, swords and bloodstained shields Faces of soldiers distorted in pain Through the mist I see the black stead of the king If God exist Please, give me strength to honour the ring Open the gate The king is dying Now, before it is too late Oh, hear my prayers My father's dying My heart and soul are in despair Remember his name, now hail the new crowned king I claim my legacy as I take revenge Fear my vengeance, no pardon, no remorse Burning with fury, hell will rise again Through the mist I ride the black stead of the king If God exist Please, give me strength to honour the ring Open the gate Revenge is calling No salvation from my hate Oh, hear my prayers Angels are calling My burning heart is in despair

No fear of pain My rage will be unchained The hate is growing stronger Revenge is sweet They kneel before my feet Mercy exist no longer I won't repent no sins Fire in my veins My soul is damned I follow my destiny Walking to the tolling of the bell Through the gates of hell I know I'll burn There will be no return The flames are rising higher You feel my breath The messenger of death You'll face my innermost desire I won't repent no sins Fire in my veins My soul is damned I follow my destiny No one can ever break the spell My heart is cold I have no sympathy Walking to the tolling of the bell Through the gates of hell

Moonlight is guiding their way Leading them on through the mist In this haunted night feeble-minded obey The wicked believers prevail Can you break the sacred oath? Can you heal their pain? Can you wash away their sins? Maiden in flowers and silk Spread on the altar of death To be sacrificed in the honor of Bal Listen and bow when he call Blind Possessed by evil When Satan whispers their names Tonight the pagans dance The fires are burning Lightning up the darkened woods They soon will fall into trance Screaming and yearning Surrounded by the faceless hoods Behold a figure appears The Dagger Of Fate in his hands In a flash of light they see the hate in his eyes As the rain starts to fall from the sky
