[4:30]

Once our lord has come again
All black hearts will celebrate
The darksome fiend
In the kingdom of sorrow

Nocturnal fiends
The beings of the night and shadows
Calling forth the pure spirit
Of the night

Our reign may come secretly
Your lord's castle is gone
His glory is no more
And nothing can stop the purifying
They remember how you conjured
All those years of sorrow

Blasting winds of darkness conquer
Dark lords and their minions coming through
Hate and sin to remain
Empty hearts fearing thy name

Darkness hammers through on the priests
Darkness hammers forward on the cross
Servants of god, we will desecrate your coward race
With darkness

Darkness hammers through on the priests
Darkness hammers forward on the cross
Servants of god, we will desecrate your coward race
With darkness

Once our lord has come again
All black hearts will celebrate
The darksome fiend
In the kingdom of sorrow

When he returns his spirits must choose purity
When he conquers kingdoms of death
Our dead shall all reign again

Our reign may come secretly
Your lord's castle is gone
His glory is no more
And nothing can stop the purifying
They remember how you conjured
All those years of sorrow

Awakened from the shadows to create
Riding with me and with all his chosen
Our lord to be has come again
Riding from the past
Little you know your life fades
