Lyrics

Cause of Death

With the dying

Rot in hell religious one

(Cold fate) The chosen son

Find the darkness kill the day

You said you'd never cease saying

We're the cause of death

Find the one kill the need

You're the one to make him bleed

Find the darkness little one

We're the cause of death

Rot in hell religious one

(Cold fate) The chosen son

Find the darkness kill the day

You said you'd never cease saying

With the darkness we arise

Your hell is denied

The powers below

Reality's here

With the darkness we arise

Your hell is denied

The powers below

Reality's here
