lyrics

There are fiends of death, destruction
Terror, madness, mayhem and hate
That defy sanity and reason that bridge
The realm of reality
Things that choke the very life out of light
Ancient beasts, old gods, your demise, utter blasphemy

I've brought with me the darkness
A key to the realm of demons
The pitch dark, it smotes out the angels
It brings black death to your gods

Stifling their sacred cries - choking the life out of light
Suffocate with the hands of night
Choking the life out of light

I stab with the knife of night
Murder all those of the lords of light
A black eternity (awaits) atheists plight
Dark hands strangulate (all into) endless night
We're going to drag you into the shadows
And butcher askew your heart and soul
Blood drunk with the slaughters of tonight
(alas) we slit your throat and consume your life force

The attacking night, your flesh quivers
Seeping forth (from) the pores (of your skin) it attacks
Penetrates deeply into your goddamned soul
Locks it in tight, suffocates (then) tears it apart

Stifling their sacred cries - choking the life out of light
Suffocate with the hands of night
Choking the life out of light
This is the last candle I light - choking the life out of light
This will be my last heavenly sight
Choking the life out of light

Black moon, black seas, black abyss, black eternity
Black skies, black arise, black season, black sunrise

Enter twilight, awaiting suffocation
Exit into darkness, release asphyxiation

Strangulate the sunrise
Dawn, dusk, rise and fall at command
Choke the sun back down, away
Twilight ascends, darkness descends
Moonlight fades to deadly grey
Mankind hides in fear
Only warlocks stay
Enter the universe, dark the day
Dark be everything, now light is our prey!

The darkness closes around your throat
And presses really tight
You feel yourself choking
As a slave to the lord of night
Welcome to my netherworld
Welcome to my hell
Now you must die by the darknened hand
Can you feel your throat begin to swell?
