Lyrics

Despair

Tenebrae regnant
Mors imperat
Sepulcro corpus cadit

Fear coils around and grips your destiny
You unworthy defiled man
Now your last downfall comes
From existence

Lord Oblivion
Dreadful specter of vile doom
The terminating entity
No God remains

All lives fade
Oh, sacred blackness
Thy absence of brightness
Nothing is darker, nothing is richer
I seize all your senses
Once and for all

All lives fade
Reincarnation

A star is falling
And troubles fester
A rеalm of endless chasms
Shoved down to thе abyss
Perpetual shades

Take me in
Take me in now
Let my light burn
It is burning out forever
Nothing exists without you
There';s nothing to exist for
Die alive

In tenebris vita perit
Nil aeternum
No god remains
Mors sacra regnat

No salvation
Death reigns alone
Die alive

No salvation
Death reigns alone
At this dreadful hour
Die alive

Death reigns alone

Oblivion
Despair
Die alive
No God remains
