The ashes of angels float to the ground
The heavens are burning and hellfire pours down
Blood ridden corpses crash to the earth
Breaking their bones against the cities of men
The faithless are taken by surprise
The faithful masses run and hide
A painful world does now emerge
Ruled by him whose kingdom once was Hell
Reaching above, he plucks the stars from the sky
Although he has won the flame is dead in his eyes
Unfolding before him are the spoils of his fight
The ruins of humanity devoured by night
Staring above as Heaven turns into Hell
His brethren are falling from where he once fell
Silent, he listens at their frivolous cries
And the stars in his fingertips explode into dust and light
The great rule of nature has now been imposed
To eat one another without fear of God
Horns and twisted smiles abound upon these wretched fields
As demons rise from underground to ravage all they see
The faithful masses pray to be redeemed by their absent lord
While Satan, indifferent, lays eyes upon his trembling human flock
