take the town in the dead of night and steal them from their midnight sleep
take them to the catacombs their flesh and bone we've come to reap
bind the limbs that flail and thrash beat the ones who bite and scratch
keep them all in chains of brass to them not a word we speak

the empyrean waits for them their lives have been condemned
their blood an offering a sign of things to come
the first one true communion a pact unholy union
a bargain struck between our lord and his favored son

break the veins that keep the blood in wash away their wretched lives
speak the words to beckon him upon the altar they now die

the chanting of my thralls grows to fanatic heights
still-warm body fluids fill stone-carved channels
a sanguine sigil slowly forms
a foetid wind from nowhere flips worm eat'n pages of the ancient tome

the candles die dark laughter echoes all around
my bones re-knit
new flesh
an exchange accepted
a pact sealed
a bargain struck
my corrupted soul revealed

i am ascending black flame now guides my blade
seething with ruinous power i am remade

the empyrean waits for them their lives have been condemned
their blood an offering a sign of things to come
the first one true communion a pact, unholy union
a bargain struck between our lord and hais favored son

my servants kneel before me their judgment ends in death

break the veins that keep the blood in wash away their wretched lives
speak the words to beckon him upon the altar they now die
they scream their last before me terror in their bleeding eyes
their fear a heady drought of liquor laughter soon drowns out their cries

i am ascending black flame now guides my blade
seething with ruinous power i am remade
black flame ascension ascend to slake my blade
my body, transmutated in his image made

a bestial instinct now guides my twisted flesh
leaving the catacombs
i hunt to bring death

i travel north through snow-bound hills
i cross the seas of sand
road i follow choked with corpses blood-stained red by mine own hand

black flame ascension
ascend to slake my blade
my body transmutated
in his image made

undying i'll cleave this world in twain bloodshed incarnate be my reign
slay through the centuries to burn this world to ash

ageless bloodshed until the end of time
